Amazon 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.

Great little dot! Works perfect and is great for any space. Clear crisp sound and easy to use replaced one that was older model

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.

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.

Amazing Smart Speaker – Powerful Sound in a Compact Size! The Amazon Echo Dot is an excellent smart speaker with vibrant sound for its size. The audio is clear, well-balanced, and surprisingly powerful, making it perfect for music, podcasts, and audiobooks. Alexa responds quickly and accurately, making daily tasks like setting reminders, checking the weather, or controlling smart home devices incredibly easy. I also love the compact and modern design—it fits perfectly in any room without taking up much space. Setup was fast and simple, and it integrates smoothly with other smart devices. This is a great value for the price and a must-have for anyone looking to add convenience and smart technology to their home. Highly recommended!

So simple to set up and use. Only got around to buying one when I needed an "extra pair of hands" during a period of limited mobility. Things that would have been out of reach could be activated on my voice commands. Add smart light bulbs and/or smart switches, & things are suddenly easier. Highly recommend for seniors or mobility challenged people who can't bend and reach or move around as easily as they once did. Product seems to be good quality & is fun to use. Like it so much, I just bought a second one for another room.

Use it every day for questions from the mundane to blogging to playing relaxing meditation music when I'm stressed. When visitors came over, I gave it the job to play country western rock from the 80s and 90s. It kept it going until they left. Also plays soothing music for my pets when I leave the house. It's been a "where have you been all my life." Setting it up was easy for me but could be complicated for people 50+ that are tonically. dysfunctional. Note: it will pair with your cell phone or home internet. Great sound, good bass equalizer. Great for quick information when debating.
