Amazon Echo Spot
Amazon has defined the smart speaker space with its range of Echo devices which serve as speakers of varying size and quality and also work as conduits to smart home systems, entertainment, online search and news and music playback.
Review: Amazon Echo Spot
The Spot is the fifth speaker in Amazon's Echo range - and arguably the cutest. That's not normally a metric we use to rate products, but I'll make an exception here because the Spot is simply gorgeous.
Review: Amazon's Echo Spot is a cool device, but needs to do more with its screen
Most people can safely skip the Echo Spot if they want and get another smartspeaker. There are better-sounding options, and if you want its alarm functions any screenless Echo will do, so long as you're prepared to say "Alexa, stop" before leaving for work.
great
great wireless speaker. Does all my home automation. Very useful in your daily life. Wifi is also great
Amazon Echo Spot Review
The tiny, Alexa-powered, touch-screen Amazon Echo Spot makes a perfect smart bedside or desk clock. Amazon invented the ideal smart alarm clock two years ago in the Echo Spot, a perfect bedside companion for anyone interested in an Alexa-powered home. While expensive at $129.99, it was far better than using an Echo Dot or a traditional alarm clock to wake up to, with plenty of additional usefulness as a kitchen clock or a monitor for various smart home devices. It was one of the first smart displays we were really enthusiastic about, and remains high on our list of recommendations in the category, as well an Editors' Choice. However, the introduction of the $89.99 Echo Show 5 means the Spot has some very strong competition, and both are worthy of your attention. Design, Audio, and Skills The Echo Spot is a tiny globe with a flat edge that comes in black or white. It measures 4.1 by 3.8 by 3.6 inches (HWD) and weighs 14.8 ounces. It has a reasonably sharp 2.5-inch, 480-by-480 circular color touch screen on the front, and a 1.4-inch speaker that radiates out through a grille arou...- Super cute design

- 2.5-inch circular screen is bright
- crisp
- and doubles as a clock
- Camera can be completely disabled
- Hefty cord somewhat limits where it can be placed
- Videos are truncated in full-screen mode
Amazon Echo Spot review: That hits the spot
The Spot hits a number of key areas: it's the best designed of the Echo range, giving it immediate appeal. Whether in the bedroom, on a kitchen worktop or side table in the living room, the Spot fulfils its role as master of all.- 'Alexa Calling' video calls
- Cute design
- Sounds pretty good considering the size
- The smartest radio alarm clock you'll ever find
- 'Drop In' could cause privacy concerns
- Price feels a little high compared to Echo Dot
- Small screen for video playback
