Echo Dot is a voice-controlled smart speaker with Alexa that's perfect for any room. Just ask for music, news, information and more. You can also call almost anyone, and control compatible smart home devices with your voice. |
|
Use your voice to play a song, artist or genre through Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, TuneIn and others. With compatible Echo devices in different rooms, you can fill your whole home with music. Also listen to Audible and radio stations, or pair with Fire TV to voice-control films and entertainment. |
Make your life easier at home. Use your voice to set timers, add items to lists, or create calendar events and reminders. You can also check the news, weather or traffic, or ask for sports scores, cinema listings, restaurant hours or information.
Switch on the lamp before getting out of bed or dim the lights from the sofa to watch a film—all without lifting a finger. Control multiple devices with a single voice command, like locking the doors and turning off the lights at night.
Learn more about hundreds of compatible smart home devices, including lights, thermostats, TVs, and more.
Instantly drop in on other rooms in your home or make an announcement to every room that has a compatible Echo device. Let everyone know dinner is ready, or remind the children that it’s bedtime. You can also stay in touch with friends and family with hands-free calling. Learn more about making calls with Alexa.
When you are running low on household essentials, Alexa makes it easy to refill your fridge or replenish your pantry. You can add everything from AA batteries to zucchini noodles to your shopping list, reorder favourite products from Amazon, or ask Alexa the status of your recent orders.
Alexa has tens of thousands of skills and counting. Skills are like apps and help you do more, such as playing True or False, tracking your fitness with Fitbit or falling asleep to rain sounds. Create your own personal skills and custom responses with Alexa Skill Blueprints. Just say “Alexa, help me get started with skills”.
New skills are being added all the time. Discover skills in the Skills section of the Alexa App or visit the Skills Store.

Customer reviews
I've been curious about the echo devices for a while and when I saw this available for £25 as part of the black Friday deal I thought why not.Received it today via prime delivery. I've only had it a few hours but I love it!Super easy to set up. Just download the Alexa app on any smart phone or tablet and follow the instructions.I've also added my hive which was simple so can now control the heating from my sofa, lazy or what!!!As a prime customer I can play virtually any music I like including playlists I have on my phone. I find theres so much on prime music i doubt i will need to buy downloads or cds again! A new update means you can use it to play Apple music if you have it. Ask it to turn the volume up, skip a track and it does. Ask it to play radio two, ask for the latest news headlines and it does. I even asked what is on itv tonight and it gave me a schedule of programmes. You can set an alarm; timer, reminders, ask it anything really. If you go to the Alexa app you can enable 'skills', much like apps really. There are things like tv guides, quizzes, weather, news. The more you use it the more it will do for you.We have quite a large room with open staircase and the sound is pretty good. I dare say it will not be the only echo device that ends up in our house.A couple of advantages it gives over just buying a Bluetooth speaker for music, even if music is all you want it for, is that you don't have to pair it to Bluetooth everytime you want to listen to music nor do you even have to have your phone or tablet switched on to ask it anything. Though you can just use it as a blue tooth speaker if you want too, pair it with your phone and it will play any music you have stored, just ask it to pair blue tooth. Plus being permanently connected to the mains rather than having to keep rechargeing it is a major bonus. As you can probably tell I'm a fan!Update: I just attached this to my sound bar via a 3.5 to 3.5mm Jack. The sound is unbelievable, loads of base and my sound bar is just a cheap one!Update May 2019: Just bought a second dot in white for the bedroom. As I already had the Alexa app this took literally seconds to set up. Love the fact I can ask it to play my audio book at bedtime. Also great alarm for the morning. Really love these little smart speakers.
