Product Information

When not testing out the latest gizmos, you’ll find Simon either catching up with the newest releases at his local cinema or out shooting with his beloved compact camera. With multiple devices, you can drop in on other rooms throughout the home, or make an announcement to every room with a compatible Echo device. Tell Alexa you love “her” and it will happily pump out a cheerful tune that finishes with the line: “Know that I’ll be there for you, as always, your trusty AI. When new Smart products are launched, there may also be a delay before certain Apps become available. Just like the older models, it features an LED display on the front which shows the time, but it’s not just a Dot with a Clock anymore.

You’ll still receive space-filling sound in smaller rooms around your house, even if the Echo Dot starts to struggle and distort whenever the knob gets turned towards the upper echelons.You're also getting new home security features with Alexa Guard, so you can keep an eye on your home from the display and get alerts to your phone when motion or sound is detected. Whispering to Alexa while music is playing is a great party trick, and that worked flawlessly on this Dot.

Now, in addition to displaying the time, volume level, alarms, and timers, the Dot can show a scrolling weather forecast, song title, and other text responses to queries.With great choices of Echo Dot products available, you are sure to find exactly what you are looking for. Compared to its bigger siblings, or Google's rival offerings, you might find the screen a little small depending on where you're going to be seeing it from after requesting something via the Alexa voice commands. Thousands are supported across all major consumer home automation brands, and include video doorbells, security cameras, smart bulbs, smart locks, smart plugs, and smart thermostats. It also lights up yellow when you have a system notification, though it's easy to turn this off in Settings.
