Click to play video I’ve been using Echo devices since they first came out in 2014, and I just picked up the new 2025 Echo Spot to replace a Sphere-style Echo Spot I had in my bedroom. This new model has a taller form factor and features a 2.83” touchscreen (240x320 resolution), which is both a nice upgrade and a potential concern. Setup was mostly smooth—I opted into the pre-configuration option when I ordered it, so it automatically connected to my Wi-Fi. That part worked well, but it did take almost two full minutes to scan for networks, which felt longer than it should. After connecting, it went through about 12 minutes of firmware updates and restarted twice before it was ready to use. Not awful, but not instant either. The touchscreen is helpful for checking time, weather, or tapping quick actions. While it can be turned off in the settings, I prefer to leave it on—so I’m a bit concerned about potential screen burn-in over time. Previous models like the Echo Dot with clock used simple LED displays that didn’t have this issue. Performance-wise, the touchscreen feels sluggish. Navigation and responsiveness are noticeably slow, and it seems underpowered out of the box. For the price I paid, it’s about what I expected, but I do worry that firmware updates over time will make it even slower. It already feels like it’s just barely keeping up. Sound quality is solid—on par with past Echo models. Maybe even better! I think the bass sounds better? Perhaps there’s an improved subwoofer. It’s clear and loud enough for a bedroom or small room. My biggest frustration is the physical button placement. The volume and mic mute buttons are tucked onto the upper back of the device, which makes them nearly impossible to access if you keep the unit pushed into a corner (like on a nightstand against the wall). Every other Echo I’ve owned had intuitive top-accessible buttons—this feels like a design oversight. On a positive note, the power adapter is still 15W and compatible with older Echo Spot models. I didn’t have to swap any cords while rearranging my devices, which made the transition easier. I’m also in the process of phasing out my aging Echo Plus units due to persistent subwoofer crackling. They were great initially, but the audio degraded—possibly from firmware updates or hardware failure. I’ve repurposed my older Spot to the bathroom for a basic clock display, and I’m rotating other devices accordingly. Overall, this new Spot does the job, but it’s not without its compromises. Setup requires patience, performance is underwhelming, and the design could’ve been more thoughtful. Still, for now, it fits into my ecosystem.

I traded in two older models on echo dots to get this and boy am I glad I did. The face sits so you can easy see it and you have several options of how you want to see the display. I love that I can see the time and temperature. The buttons on top are easier to find and use. The fact that you can see the alarm that is set for the furture and it was easy to set up since I had already had a Echo dot. I also love that it displays what you asked along with he title and singer for music. The music sound is perfect and clear. I got a discount and trade in value, bit it still was worth the cost to get. Very happy to have a beautiful blue Echo Spot and recommend everyone to trade up!

We bought the Echo Dot Kids for my daughter around Christmas time, partly hoping it would help answer some of the wild questions she comes up with (and save me some head-scratching!). While it hasn't completely taken over that role, it primarily gets used for playing music and checking the weather, which it does really well. We particularly love that it conveniently shows the temperature right on the home screen. On no fault of the product itself, I had initially thought we'd be able to use it for video calls while I was at work, but it's important to note that this particular model isn't capable of video chatting. Overall, it's a fun and useful little device for music and information for kids, as long as you're aware of its capabilities!

I previously had a '90s clock radio and an Echo Dot in my bedroom. But after seeing the Echo Spot, I decided this was all I really needed on my nightstand and gave it a shot. It has a very slick modern look, is super easy to set up, and has several clock face, color, and other setting options. Definitely better than the bright red digital numbers on my dated old alarm clock. And as far as interaction with Alexa, the Spot works just as well as any other Echo device that I’ve owned. My only complaints are: ONE - The (lack of) sound quality. The 3rd gen Echo Dot that I moved from my bedroom to my kitchen honestly has fuller sound and is better for listening to music. Since I often listen to music while spending time in my bedroom, I’m pretty disappointed. TWO - No LED light ring of any kind. The only way to know Alexa is “listening” or whether you have a notification is if you're looking at the screen head-on. Since I'm not directly in front of it while moving around my bedroom during the day, a small LED indicator along the top similar to the Echo Pop would’ve been nice.

Okay, so I got the new Amazon Echo Spot, and I'm pretty happy with it! It's the perfect size for so many places. I've got mine on my nightstand, and it's great. It doesn't take up a ton of space, which is awesome. But I can totally see it working well in an office or even the kitchen. The main thing is, it's a really good smart alarm clock. The display is clear, and I love that I can just ask Alexa to set an alarm. No more fumbling with tiny buttons in the dark! And of course, it does way more than just alarms. Alexa is super helpful, as always. I can ask about the weather, control my smart home devices, and even listen to music. The sound quality is surprisingly good for such a small device. It's clear, and it can get pretty loud if you want it to. Overall, I'd say if you're looking for a smart device that's compact, versatile, and has a good display, the new Echo Spot is definitely worth checking out. It's a solid upgrade, and I'm finding it really useful in my daily life.

I recently added an Amazon Echo Spot to my smart home setup, primarily to complement my existing Amazon Echo Show, and it has fit perfectly into its role. My Echo Show is wall-mounted in the living room and acts as our main hub, especially for interacting with our Ring doorbell and video security system. I wanted a smaller, less obtrusive device for the bedroom, mainly to receive Ring alarm notifications, and the Echo Spot has been ideal for this. It works seamlessly with all my Ring devices. Notifications come through promptly, and the small screen is just enough to see what's happening or to quickly arm/disarm the system if needed. The compact size is perfect for a nightstand, and it doesn't feel intrusive like a larger screen might in the bedroom. While I use the Echo Show for more involved tasks and video feeds, the Echo Spot is an excellent, reliable secondary device for quick updates and alerts, particularly for the Ring ecosystem. If you're looking for a compact smart display to extend your Ring notifications to another room, the Echo Spot is a great choice.

Click to play video El modelo en sí, es muy vistoso, tiene acabados muy elegantes y de buen material, el sonido tiene una diferencia de 3 decibeles más en comparación con el echo dot 5ta., realmente no es mucha la diferencia, sin embargo se alcanzan a apreciar un poco más los bajos. La pantalla touch definitivamente le aporta mucho, se puede cambiar la apariencia del reloj, los niveles de brillo y control de música. El tamaño es un 30% más grande que el echo dot 5ta., supongo que es para compensar la ubicación de la bocina, debido al tamaño de la misma. El voltaje de uso en promedio es de 2.5 watts con brillo máximo...ya en modo música vol. 10, alcanza un promedio de 3.6 watts, lo cual ahorra bastante energía para la potencia que mantiene! El modo nocturno es conveniente si te molesta la luz de la pantalla por las noches, la pequeña desventaja es que esta no se puede apagar en su totalidad, pero realmente no es molesto, ya que la pantalla tiene tecnología de ahorro y baja luz. (Actualización, ya incluyeron el apagado de la pantalla, se agradece muchísimo) El mostrar las carátulas de las canciones es bastante bueno, sin embargo: no me agradó, que al reproducir música, las carátulas de las canciones se mantienen todo el tiempo. Solución: le tienes que dar la indicación: "Alexa, inicio" para que nuevamente muestre el reloj. Por lo que, si de alguna forma te interesa escuchar música y ver tu reloj al mismo tiempo desde una distancia de más de 2 mts. Será casi imposible visualizar el pequeñito reloj que aparece sobre las carátulas de la música...espero tengan alguna actualización a ese detalle. En general estoy muy contento, definitivamente vale la pena! Por mi parte yo le daría un 4.7 en general. Iré actualizando si descubro más detalles en pro o vs. Actualización: -Añadieron el apagado de pantalla (se agradece mucho!).

El diseño de este ultimo echo (spot) es increible, yo lo compre en blanco por el contraste del negro de la pantalla, pero estoy seguro que en los demás colores de igual manera se verá muy bonito. Hablando de funcionalidades: - Básicamente funciona de igual manera que cualquer otro echo/alexa, aunque puede variar una que otra cosa debido a la nueva pantalla integrada. - Las animaciones que se muestran en diferentes ocasiones (al pasar un minuto en el rejol, al poner musica, al crear una alarma, etc., etc.) son muy bonitas, puedes personalizar tanto el reloj con diferentes diseños (que probablemente con el tiempo se agreguen más) y con diferentes colores (magenta, violeta, verde aqua, azul, naranja y lima). - La pantalla es táctil/touch y por esto, puedes acceder a configuraciones rapidas dentro del mismo Echo Spot (para una configuración mas detallada, abre la app de Alexa), ya sea, cambiar el color y diseño del reloj, regular el brillo de la pantalla, bajar/subir volumen, etc., etc. Puntos malos: - El Echo llegó en una bolsa de carton con burbujas (al menos a mi y a varios más) siento que al ser un dispositivo electrónico, debería llegar al menos en una caja de cartón con mucha más protección - La pantalla no es un circulo como se podría pensar, es un rectangulo en el centro de toda la parte negra. Cuando está el brillo alto o al máximo, se notan los bordes de esta. De lo contrario, en espacios obscuros/no tan iluminados, no se nota para nada. Conclusión: Por el precio que esta en este momento a miembros Prime, es una excelente opción. Como se aprecia en las fotos, se nota mas grande que una Alexa con reloj (olvidé el nombre) pero no es tanto como para estorbar, el tamaño es ideal. valió mucho la pena por el simple hecho de ser mucho mas elegante, con mas funcionalidades y obviamente, mas nueva y actualizada. Seguramente con el tiempo se agreguen funcionalidades para facilitar muchas mas tareas. Compra esta Alexa si quieres tener un reloj digital, una bocina de buen sonido y volúmen y obviamente, una asistente para tus tareas :))) Gracias por llegar hasta aqui y espero haber aclarado la mayoria de dudas :))

Excelente producto!!! Es la primera Alexa que tengo y me sirve de maravilla, tiene un gran altavoz para un cuarto promedio, reproduce bien las canciones que le digas, puedes poner alarmas, temporizadores y a veces jugar akinator ;), también puedo apagar la luz (un foco con wifi), además es muy fácil de configurar, sin duda es una excelente compra :)
