    Happy With Echo Dot and Alexa

    Bought this item for safety reasons - if I fall or can't get to a phone in an emergency, I can ask Alexa to call for help. Even brought one to work in case I am there alone. Other than that, it's pretty neat to be able to ask Alexa for information, even jokes, or to use as an alarm clock. Would recommend.

      Hello Javi! Thank you for your feedback on the Echo Dot. While the standard Echo Dot is a smart speaker without a display, Amazon offers several options if you're looking for visual features. The Echo Spot features a compact, round 2.5-inch screen that shows the time, weather, and other information in a sleek, alarm clock-style design. For even more display capabilities, the Echo Show family offers full smart displays, including the Echo Show 5 with a 5.5-inch screen, Echo Show 8 with an 8-inch HD screen, Echo Show 10 with a 10.1-inch HD screen and motion capabilities, and the Echo Show 15 with a 15.6-inch Full HD screen. These Echo Show devices not only display the time but also support video calls, streaming content, photo displays, weather forecasts, smart home controls, and more. If having visual features is important to you, you might want to consider upgrading to either the Echo Spot or one of the Echo Show models, depending on your needs and space requirements. In the meantime, you can always ask your current Echo Dot "Alexa, what time is it?" for a verbal time announcement. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the device! AmazonDevices

    Great sound for it's size. The only pet peeve is that when you grab it and lift it while playing it shuts off. Must be a touch to turn off thing, but all I have to do is to tell Alexa to "play music" and it resumes. Glad I bought it.
