I’ve now had this a few weeks and these are my thoughts. With a Spotify account you can ask for most songs. If you didn’t, it automatically accessed Amazon music. Now I don’t have Amazon Music Unlimited and so a part of me is wondering whether I would get charged to listen to songs or whether it would automatically click onto the Amazon Prime Music service. Who knows? But I instantly deactivated the Voice Purchasing function through the Alexa app so I hope not. But be wary and maybe keep an eye on your Amazon bills for a couple of weeks just in case. You can adjust the volume by asking it higher or lower or even giving a number between 1 (lowest) and 10 (highest). It will still hear you say Alexa at the top volume but you kind of have to pick your moments in a quieter section of song. I can hear the Dot when I am upstairs and it is downstairs. Beware you could develop a mild strain of your voice if you keep asking Alexa questions (I am thinking of those buying it for elderly relatives). Speaking of which, the ability for them to call you just by voice if, say, they had a fall and could not reach the phone is a pretty reassuring feature. I’ve played some of the quizzes and they are fun. I still like the device and how solid it feels.
Yes, we were caught out by this. We now have four Google devices (which are much netter quality and cheaper than Amazon products) and can play/stream music (Spotify) thought as many Google devices as we choose, singularity or combined. The software is much better than Amazon’s and can be accessed and used from any enabled device, including a PC or Mac computer. Spotify is just £0.99 for the first three months, and then £9.99 per month. At the time of writing Google devices are practically half price.
I even ended up buying a second one for upstairs and love the ability to use in stereo mode and the intercom feature is a great way of talking to people in the house without shouting. If room filling audio for parties etc is what you want then go for the Echo Plus, however if its background music with some base then the Dot will be absolutely fine. Check out my video review.
