This is a really good one. The smart alarm is one of a kind in the segment. The display helps in easy communication of the alexa commands. Very easily configured and sits in a very compact space. The sound quality is the best.

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!

Dots and Spots Make Wonderful Personal Assistants!

We own several Amazon Dots, so we bought the new Spot at BB's Black Friday half-price sale to see how it compared (retails at $80 vs the Dot's $40-$50 price).
We enjoy the skills and convenience of the Dots, so we compared features. We think the Spot's premium sound is comparable to the 5th generation Dot (which we prefer, actually).
The face of the Spot is ok, but for some of us, it's a little difficult to read the time & weather in the morning without glasses. There are option widgets available but none that I find solve the problem. Either the time is large and the weather too small, or the opposite. When Alexa tells you the weather, however, the display enlarges.
In any case, we believe that Amazon's Dots & Spots are fantastic little personal assistants streaming with entertainment!

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.

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.

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.

I've been using the Echo Spot for a few weeks now, and it has been a great addition to my bedroom. The vibrant screen is a nice touch, and I love being able to see the time and weather without having to pick up my phone. Alexa integration is seamless, and I've enjoyed using voice commands to control my smart home devices. The sound quality is impressive for such a small device, and the compact design fits perfectly on my nightstand. I highly recommend the Echo Spot to anyone looking for a smart alarm clock with vibrant sound and Alexa integration. It's a stylish, functional, and convenient device that adds a touch of modernity to any room.
