Had this for a few months now and originally I was quite happy with it BUT this last few weeks has seen a big reduction in its ability to deliver basic services eg I quite like to check the news headlines on radio four so all I had to say was - Alexa, play radio four and it would play - but not any...

I purchased two of these units to complement my Echo Plus, I only had too turn them on and they connected straight to my Echo plus without me having to do anything. I used one of them to work with my audio speaker, just had to plug the 3.5mm audio cable in both units and now I have Alexa's voice...

The Echo Dot adds a little extra to what is already a hugely successful device - it's a neat idea but isn't enough to upgrade from an earlier Dot, of course. If you are adding a new Dot to your home or getting one for the first time then it's definitely worth it if you'd find the clock useful.

Simple but effective idea; Bright clock; Snooze function

The display doesn't really do an awful lot; No visual indicator of multiple alarms

Amazon has created another smart speaker that brings practical smarts to the kitchen counter or the bedside table. It's not as adventurous a device as other Echo products, but it's one of the most wallet-friendly and practical.

The Echo Dot with Clock brings all the best elements of 2018's third-gen Dot and adds a smart quality-of-life upgrade in the form of an LED clock display.

The $60 price tag edges the new Dot out of the super cheap range shared by the standard Dot and Google Nest Mini; Plus, the LED display can't adjust color or color temperature, which makes it a little annoying in a dark room.

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!

“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

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

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.

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

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.
