Product Information

Weather reporting. You can ask Alexa for a weather report as you're getting ready in the morning so that you'll know what to wear. You can also ask for future weather reports. Once connected, the setup process should automatically begin in the app. If not, head to Alexa Devices, then selectAdd Alexa Device within the app. When that’s done, you’re ready to start talking to your device. What can the Echo Dot do? 1) Home assistant and entertainment in one device

Echo Sub: designed as a subwoofer that connects to other Echo speakers for dynamic music and sound.Alexa can even answer basic questions for you by searching online. If you’re easily distracted by screens, it’s a nice alternative when working. From there, you can play around with other Alexa features and browse the skill list. With over 100,000 Alexa skills (and growing), you can personalize your Echo Dot's Alexa to the fullest. The main differences are from the design of the devices, which make certain Echos better than others for specific activities.

The best part of the Echo Dot is how easily it does menial tasks you’d normally need to pull out your phone for. Thats thanks to the Alexa smart assistant software. When you’re cooking or working out it’s nice to keep your hands free setting a time. Just ask Alexa.If you have more than one device in your home, you can also use your Echo Dot as part of an intercom system. This is useful if you live in a larger, multi-bedroom home. This is a minor complaint. However, for a low profile device, Dot’s cloth covering is harder to clean than the original plastic. Be mindful of dust, because you won’t want to try and clean off several months of build-up. Is it worth it?

If you've never tried Alexa before, the Echo Dot is a fantastic and affordable smart device to try. With the features and skills that we mentioned earlier, you'll see how valuable and fun Alexa can be. If you’ve never used a smart device, the Echo Dot is a great entry point. For the cost of a night out at the movies (including popcorn and a drink) you can see what the smart home hype is all about.

With Alexa the Echo Dot allows you to control all the smart devices in your home. This goes beyond pulling up something on Netflix and feels Sci-Fi the first time you use it. And of course, larger Echo devices have room for more capable speaker hardware, boosting audio quality.
