Echo Dot (newest model) - Vibrant sounding speaker, Designed for Alexa+, Great for bedrooms, dining rooms and offices, Charcoal

Great little speaker. The sound quality is surprisingly good for its size and Alexa responds quickly. I use it mostly for music, alarms, and smart home control and it works great. Super easy to set up and looks nice anywhere. Definitely worth it.

I honestly did not think I would use Alexa as much as I do, but now I use it every single day. Setting it up was super easy and only took a few minutes. The app walks you through everything and it was ready to go right away. It hears me really well even when I am not right next to it. I can be across the room or doing something else and it still responds quickly. The sound quality is better than I expected too. Music sounds clear and it gets loud enough for a bedroom or living room without sounding bad. I mostly use Alexa for music, alarms, timers, weather, and reminders. It is really nice being able to ask the time or set a timer without stopping what I am doing. I also like using it to make shopping lists or ask random questions during the day. If you have smart lights or plugs, Alexa makes things even easier. Turning lights on and off with your voice never gets old and it actually saves time. The routines are great too once you set them up. You can have multiple things happen with one command which is really convenient. I was a little worried about privacy at first, but there are settings to mute the microphone and review voice history which made me feel better about using it. Overall, Alexa has been really helpful and worth the money. It makes everyday tasks easier and fits into daily life without being annoying. I would definitely recommend it.

This is an awesome product! We linked this to our Echo show 8 and it is AWESOME. I love being able to be hands free while cleaning and tell Alexa to play music or set a timer. I used this too to make an announcement and it worked so well! IT doesn't take up too much space and honestly it looks pretty cool anyways so I don't mind it. It's very simple in it's look with only a few buttons but that was all I needed as I usually just do completely hands free and ask Alexa to turn down the music or things like that. The sound quality is honetsly pretty good. I enjoy that Alexa recognizes my voice and can tailor stuff to me. I bought this when it was on sale and I think it is worth every penny on it's own but for sure a must if you have an echo show 8 and have multiple rooms in the house you want to listen to music or have Alexa to be your assistant! edited to add: this also picks up on you talking VERY well. I was in my living room with the door closed for my bedroom and tried to see if it could hear me when I said Alexa play christmas music and it did! It also can detect a whisper so it is great at figuring out how loud or quiet she needs to be when replying.

It's awesome it can answer any questions. It connects via Bluetooth to any RGB lights, TV, literally anything that has Bluetooth, and can turn devices off and on and play any music, specifically if you have Amazon Music. It's very fun; my Echo tells some cringe jokes, lol. It's amazing quality too. Very easy to set up in like 10 seconds.

I'm mostly very happy with these two Echo Dots. I bought these for my elderly mother to help her around the house, keep her safe, and keep her entertained. I set up a group of Dots so that she has speakers throughout the house. Here are my likes and dislikes so far: LIKES Set up is SUPER easy after you install the Alexa app onto your phone Offers Alexa Emergency Assist which can call for help when needed (subscription, but cheap) Controls on the device are very simple Sound quality and clarity is pretty good for music and voice Alexa is mostly very quick and responsive Product looks cool and is well made Multiple speakers can work in unison DISLIKES App is difficult to navigate (e.g., finding My Devices is not intuitive at all) Multiple speakers don't always act in unison for some reason, even when grouped When you say "Alexa?" there is no audible response (a little 'ping' like Google Assistant would be better) Children can easily change the wake-word from "Alexa" to something else. Meaning, wake‑word “locking” does not exist and this is actually quite dangerous for older users who subscribe to Alexa Emergency Assist. I REALLY wish I could lock the wake-word for safety reasons.

I have had several of these Echo Dots and it is amazing how much it can do for such a compact device. The sound quality is clear and surprisingly good for its size, especially for music, podcasts, and audiobooks. Alexa is super responsive and makes everyday tasks so much easier. She is very useful at setting timers and alarms, checking the weather, controlling smart home devices, and answering random questions. I also love being able to make announcements, create reminders, and sync it with my other Echo devices around the house. Setup is quick and easy, and it blends in nicely with any room without taking up much space. For the price, the Echo Dot is an excellent value and a great introduction to smart home technology. Highly recommend! Five Stars.
