Well Alexa usually will listen but sometimes she ignores me for sure which ends in me screaming at her. I'm sure the neighbors love that. She also usually never answers questions correctly and loves to say hmmm I dont know that one. But shes good at playing from my amazon music library.

Great new product. I had one reluctantly bought for me To drag me into the 20th century as I still had my radio CD player. Wow how good are these ,gone is my radio CD player In place is this lovely little echo dot, and does so much more than my old CD player.love it so much I have also bought a few...

Adding a simple display turns the third-gen Echo Dot into a great bedside alarm clock, but it can also be useful in the kitchen as it can also show timers. Here’s our Echo Dot with Clock review.

The new Dot is fantastic. It sounds a lot better, looks a lot better and is still as cheap as ever. There are no playful colours on offer, and you can no longer power it from a USB power bank, but these are minor quibbles and are somewhat offset by the fact you can use two Dots as a stereo pair and even add an Echo Sub for 2.1 sound.

While the previous Echo Dots were cheap ways to extend smart home control all over your home, they weren't the most attractive devices and had weedy sounds. The Amazon Echo Dot (3rd Gen) as a vast improvement on the originals, even though it costs exactly the same. The new finish looks fantastic and the new Echo Dot is a device that you'd happily put out on show. Audio has been dramatically improved, too, both in terms of quality and loudness, which makes Alexa easier to understand and means that the odd bit of music or radio is a possibility. If you're looking to put Alexa in more rooms, then this is the device to buy.

Clear and loud audio; 3.5mm and Bluetooth audio outputs; Same price as old model; Improved design;

No longer USB-powered; Not ideal for music;

The Amazon Echo Dot with Clock is the third generation Dot you know and love, but now it comes with an LED display on the front. The addition of this display means that now the smart speaker can display the time, temperature or any timers you may have set visually, which helps make it an ideal new...

Stylish design; New LED display; Good audio reproduction for its size; Range of colours to choose from; Physical mics off button; Same best-selling Echo Dot core

More expensive than Amazon Echo Dot; Not suitable for providing music to a large room

If you have an Echo speakers, you have at least once asked Amazon’s voice assistant to tell you what the time is. According to Amazon, it’s among the questions most asked of Alexa on a global scale. So, Amazon decided to remedy that situation, after all, an Echo was never meant to be a clock.

Unless Amazon gives the next one a top hat, it’s hard to see how the Echo Dot gets much better than this

An Echo Dot....with a clock! Excellent voice pickup; Works with any music service; Pleasing minimalist aesthetic Decent sound; Decent sound

Only one colour; Slightly more expensive

“What time is it?” I feel dumb wasting my breath to ask this question out loud to my all-knowing smart speakers, but it’s the question that I ask the most — and I’m not alone. Amazon says it’s one of the most commonly asked questions to its Echo smart speakers.

Powerful sound for the price; You’ll no longer have to ask for the time; Can also display weather info and timers

The clock adds $10 to the price; Can’t be mounted without additional accessories like the Nest Mini; Display could use a scheduling tool

Great device. The sound quality is incredible. I have grown tired of listening to music out of my phone's speaker. Music and podcasts sound incredible. Voice quality on a phone call is good on the dot end but just ok on the phone end. You pick up all the ambient noise. Love all the "skills" it has!
