Amazon Echo Dot 2nd Gen Review 

*I like the old style Echo Dot because it's small also **Newest.Technology**, gives out decent sound and doesn't take up a lot of shelf space if you want to put it on beam in the workshop or shed.*

This is the best review on RU-vid! You just gained another like 👍🏻

Really nice job on the video. Now I want the light bulbs.

just to let you know that you dont have to wait a few seconds after saying the wake word (Alexa) you can just say alexa and imidiatly ask it to do something unless your internet is 2g

cool demonstration soon gonna get mine

you did a very good review... very informative, lot's of information was conveyed...

Well done. Very informative. Just bought some for myself and to give as gifts. This will help to set up.

I really enjoy using the echo with smart outlets. I use them in my living room for all the components in my entertainment center. I can say one command and everything I need to start using my media center turns on all at once.

Like many other users, I think this is the most helpful Alexa features video!

You might have said it but what speakers are you using ?? Great video! Thanks!

When Amazon first came out with the Echo I scoffed. What would someone need that expensive thing for? We all have smart phones. But after watching this video and having recently come into a $50 gift card I figured what do I have to lose in getting an Echo Dot? Well, I am just blown away by this little device! I have it set up with my Hue bulbs, Nest thermostat and the TP-Link outlet I got on a whim. So far it has worked flawlessly and I am very pleased. Thanks! :)

I live in the middle east . So does echo dot works with 220-240 volts or only 110v-120v volts ? I've never got clear answer yet . Can you help ?

if you have a fan with lights, can you turn the fan on and off?

Very informative and helpful. Thanks!

Is it worth getting the 2nd gen echo or should I just get the dot if I’ll only be listening to music via external speakers

Can you use with bluetooth hearing aid?

do you need to be a prim member to use it?

Mine is arriving today

how do I change my location to the usa on an IPhone 6 plus?

Thank you, just order two.

nice video man really enjoyed it

Have a question if you don't mind. Planning on getting a dot soon, was wondering if I could: tell alexa to to play a channel on tune-in radio and set it on a timer for when I go to sleep at night. Tune-in app stand-alone does have this function. Also, If I can do this and set volume to low for listening, will it affect the alarms volume? Thanks so much, mike!

How do you get these to work with all the lights and everything else in the house? What other components will you need to make lights go on and off via the echo dot that's not shown?

Great video!

Hi...great video...my question is this...does the Dot have to be plugged in all the time?

My Echo Dot has a huge Latency issue with both Bluetooth and the Audio Jack

Love the review but if you set up an Amazon echo and an Amazon echo dot on the same account if they both hear you when you say Alexa one will go off

Nice video!! Thanks.

Do you always have to have your Cell Phones Blue Tooth Transmitter On? which as you know drains your phones battery fairly fast,,,Thats one of my concerns PLEASE Let ME KNOW? Love your Video vary helpful and you aren't afraid to take some time to lay out some great detail, :-) THANK YOU

You get a thumbs-up from me just for wearing your "I voted" sticker. 👍

by calendar, do you mean Google calendar? or another calendar app?

Lunch at 4 & dinner at 6!? C'mon man

I didn't turn my echo's microphone off, and it went off every single time.

can I plug into my car USB?

I'm looking to get one of these for my house, but I don't have any smart home appliances, should I buy it?

The president is listening to u via Alexa

I don't get why I can't buy any of these in Canada.

I use my Echo to control my thermostat. It works great.

needs better response to questions it can't answer Jack,and it needs a rechargeable battery so you can take it in the shower ect.

I really am interested in buying one of these but I don't see the answer I need. Everyone is doing the same review....play music, turn on the lights, asking for at-the-moment sports/news update. Blah blah blah. (yawn) Can Echo/Alexa truly automate your lights without you being present to give a command? How about, "Alexa, set my outside lights to come on at dusk." Then leave for work. Wouldn't it be nice to come home to an already-lit home? Or, setting a preference of "Alexa, when I unlock my front door, automatically turn on my foyer lights and living room lights". True automation is without prompting. Oh another one....Telling her to set your thermostat is no biggy, impress me by showing I don't have to think about it. Can Alexa work with a compatible thermostat and set a wake, leave, return and sleep schedule without having mess with the actual thermostat interface? Home automation is supposed to bring about energy efficiency too. Can you please tell me if you tried these? Does this require third party If That Then This services? How is that set up?

Without it hurting my car's computer??

Warning, don't use good earphones when watching the video, his microphone is too good you can hear him swallow his spit and make gross sounds that everybody in the world makes, you can just hear it too good xD eck

Echo is awesome dis liked my own comment
