I like that it has a touchscreen and can show you the time and temperature. However, the touchscreen functionality isn't that great, it kind of lags and not super responsive. Sound quality is alright. Microphone isn't great, a lot of times Alexa can't hear me unless I shout. It was a great value at half off price during Black Friday. I'd say it's definitely an upgrade and better than the original Echo Dot.

This has to be the best item to gift to anyone who sits at a desk for their day job. To be honest this is a great gift for adults And youths. I highly recommend everyone to add this to their Christmas shopping lists!!!

Thea product may be ok, but shipping was terrible! The box was shipped inside a mailer bag. The actual Alexa box was destroyed, with everything dumped into mailer bag. The seal in the Alexa box was broken in transit, so I'm sure I can't return it. This was to be a birthday gift, but I can't give it now, it looks like it was run over 10 times.

The Amazon Echo Spot (2024 release) offers a compact design with a 2.83-inch touchscreen, making it an ideal bedside companion. The device delivers impressive sound quality for its size, and the absence of a camera enhances privacy. Alexa integration allows for hands-free control of smart home devices, setting routines, and managing tasks.
While the small display limits certain functionalities, the Echo Spot excels as a smart alarm clock, providing essential information like time, weather, and song titles. Its sleek design and vibrant sound make it a valuable addition to any room.

I’ve been using the 2024 Echo Spot for a little while now, and it has quickly become one of my favorite devices at home. What I appreciate most is that it isn’t just another Alexa speaker—it’s a well-designed alarm clock with personality, clear visuals, and surprisingly good sound.
Design & Display
The compact size fits perfectly on my nightstand without taking up much space. The updated circular display is crisp and colorful, making the clock faces, weather updates, and notifications easy to read. I also love that I can customize the look—it feels like I got a stylish little upgrade for my bedroom instead of just a gadget.
Sound Quality
For its size, the audio is impressive. The 2024 version has deeper bass and clearer highs than I expected. I’ve used it to listen to music, podcasts, and even as a quick speaker when I don’t feel like turning on my main system, and it always surprises me with how good it sounds.
Alexa Integration
Being able to ask Alexa for the weather, set reminders, control smart lights, and even play sleep sounds without touching my phone has been a real convenience. It also integrates seamlessly with my routines—like automatically dimming the lights and starting calming music when I say “Alexa, good night.”
Why I Liked It
What really won me over was how practical and personal it feels. Unlike a regular alarm clock, I get my daily schedule, news briefings, and weather forecast right when I wake up. Unlike a regular smart speaker, it actually looks good sitting out in the open. And unlike my phone alarm, it doesn’t pull me into endless scrolling first thing in the morning.

The sound and bass are incredible! This is a huge upgrade from the Echo Show and Echo Dot. It’s the perfect bedside alarm clock and speaker, thanks to its compact size, variety of color options, and excellent sound quality. A solid 10 out of 10! The sound quality alone sold me—it’s miles better than my two Apple HomePod minis!

The new Echo Spot (2024 release) is a fantastic smart alarm clock that fits perfectly on my nightstand. The compact design looks sleek in black, and the vibrant sound quality surprised me — it’s much better than I expected for such a small device.
Alexa responds quickly and accurately, making it easy to set alarms, control smart home devices, check the weather, or play music right from the bedside. The screen is bright and clear, great for glancing at the time or checking notifications without having to pick up my phone.
Overall, the Echo Spot is a perfect blend of style, functionality, and convenience. Highly recommend if you want a smart alarm clock that does way more than just wake you up!

We got this for our 10-year-old to have an easy-to-set alarm and to be able to play music to go to sleep to. He loves it! He likes being able to ask questions that occur to him, and we've got it set to block explicit requests and songs with explicit lyrics (not that he's interested in any of that yet). He can also call the Echo in our bedroom if he needs us in the night for whatever reason. Setup is a breeze as long as you have a phone with Bluetooth and wifi access. We've even taken it with us on trips. Great device, would buy again.

The new Echo Spot has exceeded my expectations. The compact design fits perfectly on my nightstand, and the screen makes it easy to check the time, weather, or see who’s calling. The sound quality is surprisingly full for such a small device, and Alexa integration is seamless. I love setting routines for alarms, lights, and reminders—it really simplifies my mornings. A great mix of style and function.

The Echo Spot with Clock is an excellent addition to any home, offering a perfect blend of functionality and style. Its compact design fits seamlessly into any space, whether it’s a bedside table, kitchen counter, or office desk. The clear, customizable clock display is both practical and aesthetically pleasing, making it easy to check the time at a glance.
What really sets the Echo Spot apart is its versatility. It serves as a smart assistant, alarm clock, and entertainment hub all in one. Alexa integration works flawlessly, responding quickly to commands and providing everything from weather updates to hands-free control of smart home devices. The sound quality is surprisingly robust for its size, making it great for streaming music or podcasts.
The touchscreen adds an extra layer of convenience, allowing for visual information and easy navigation. Features like video calling and the ability to display personal photos as a background elevate its appeal even further. Overall, the Echo Spot with Clock is a fantastic device that combines convenience, style, and functionality, making it a must-have for anyone looking to enhance their smart home experience.

I absolutely love the new Echo Spot (2024). The compact design makes it perfect as a bedside alarm clock, and the vibrant sound is impressive for such a small device. Alexa is super responsive and makes it easy to check the weather, set reminders, and control my smart home devices right from my nightstand. The screen is clear and bright, and it’s a big step up from a regular alarm clock. I’m very happy with this purchase from Best Buy!

I’ve been using the new Echo Spot for a little while now, and it has quickly become my favorite part of my nightstand. As someone who works late shifts, having a reliable and easy-to-use alarm clock is a must, and this one really hits the mark.
What I Like:
The Display: The screen is vibrant and clear, but not distracting. I love that I can see the weather and song titles at a glance without it feeling like a giant tablet is glowing in my face while I try to sleep.
Sound Quality: For such a small device, the sound is surprisingly "big." It’s perfect for listening to a podcast or some relaxing music while winding down.
No Camera: I actually prefer that this model doesn't have a camera. It makes me feel much more comfortable having it in the bedroom.
Customization: It was really fun picking out a clock face and color that matched my room’s vibe.
Things to Consider:
It’s definitely designed as a "smart alarm clock" rather than a full smart display. You can’t watch videos on it, but for my needs, that's actually a plus because it keeps things simple.
Overall, If you’re looking for a sleek, modern upgrade to a traditional alarm clock, this is it. It’s easy to set up, res

My boys use it for the alarm to get up for school, and it is diversity mixes with personal desired outcome options. It comes in several different colors to choose from with many options for the alarms or display features. We have a Nintendo account that synchronizes different sounds as an alarm feature from many popular Nintendo games that my boys play. It's much easier to hear that sound in the morning for us adults too. It knows when my sons get out of bed and will shut off the alarm on its own. It's really awesome.
