Love my new Echo Alexa speaker. I purchased as an alarm clock on my nightstand next to my bed. I like that the screen dims at bedtime and yet when I wake in the middle of the night , I can touch the screen and the time lights up for a minute and then dims. I have many lights setup in the house on Alexa, and when I am ready to turn off all the lights in the house. I just tell Alexa to turn off all the lights, and all the lights connected to Alexa turn off. Nice!

Previously had the bigger version of the echo dot and it was cool, the only thing is that it doesn’t show the clock so I decide to change it for this one, the display colors are good and the sound quality is good as well, if you’re looking for a clock, alarm and a device for music, podcast or even hear the news this is a great choice

I brought the Amazon spot last weekend for one of my birthday gifts. I love it. I have the Amazon dots also, but I like the spot because it shows the temperature and date.

I value my Echo Spot for its comprehensive functionality. Its display provides convenient access to time, temperature, month, day, and date. Its always-on listening capability ensures immediate responsiveness to queries. Finally, its compact form factor is highly advantageous.

I have absolutely loved this. I didn’t think I’d need one with a screen but this one is perfectly sized. I love being able to look at it and see my timer count down. I love being able to see a preview of the weather outside. So very happy with my purchase.

I love these things. They last a long time. We use them to make announcements throughout the house, set timers, set alarms, control smart functions, and listen to music. They’re great!

I blindly bought this Echo Spot without knowing anything about it. I set it up in my bedroom. Upon examining it, I noticed a spot the looked like a camera lens. I shined my flashlight on it and got freaked out. I did some research and discovered it’s NOT a camera BUT it looks like one. Why in the world would Amazon include something that looks like a camera knowing that was an issue with the first Echo Spot in 2017. Ultimately, I’m returning the device because it’s a little sus and doesn’t do enough. Paying $80 for a tap-to-stop alarm and small display doesn’t make sense to me. I don’t want to get up and turn off my alarm. I’m lazy, I’d rather say “Alexa stop” and ask what time it is repeatedly throughout the day. However… a camera WITH a shutter button would’ve been amazing. Having the option to cover the camera would’ve given peace of mind. Why didn’t Amazon just do that??? That would’ve opened the door to many more features.

Hi Paigeey,
Thank you for choosing the Echo Spot (2024 release) and for sharing your feedback! We're glad to hear it's working great for you as a smart alarm clock.
We appreciate you mentioning the color-changing clock display. We understand that while the dynamic colors can be visually appealing, they can sometimes make it harder to read at a glance—especially when you're just waking up or checking the time quickly.
Here are a few tips that might help:
You can adjust the clock face style by saying "Alexa, change clock face" or by going to Settings > Clock & Photo Display > Clock Face in the Alexa app Try selecting a clock face with higher contrast or simpler color schemes for better readability You can also adjust the brightness settings to help with visibility
We're always working to improve the user experience, and your feedback about the readability is valuable as we continue to enhance our products. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts!
