5.0 out of 5 stars Great bedside Echo: clock only display and easily readable
Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2024
I have tried a number of products as a smart bedside clock and I think Amazon finally hit the nail on the head with this one. What I really wanted was a single device that combined a readable clock with Alexa capabilities: what I've tried is an Echo Dot (no clock, so required another device), an Echo Show (impossible to get it to stop cycling through other screens), and an Echo Dot with clock (nice but the digits are too small). All useful devices that were deployed elsewhere, but none met my bedside criteria.

So far I'd say the new device is by far the best: a single device with static clock display (no news, games, ads, etc. flashing at you), several clock face options including an easily readable format, "night mode" which filters out blue light, and it's a decent sounding smart speaker with Alexa. It even has an alarm (among many other features which) which I haven't explored but nice to have if/when needed.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's what they say it is, and it's great.
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2024
I researched the new Spot when I saw it on Amazon. Reading the product page I learned what to expect from the device. Especially useful is the product comparison section to see quite clearly the features the device comes with, or the features that it does not, compared to the other echo devices. The Technical Details pictures clearly show just one port, being the power.
Seemed an great device to put in my bedroom.
So now that I received the device I have what they said it is, and I really like it. After using it for a bit here is what I learned.

As it is next to my bed I was pleased to find full control over the brightness of the display, but the Adaptive Brightness works fine too.
Sound is good for compact speaker. I replaced a gen 1 echo, which is much larger, and it sounds better that that.
I like the song titles displayed while playing music. Taping the display brings a large clock that will stay until the next track starts, to show the new song title. Swiping the display will bring music touch-controls.
No ads displayed, at all. It hasn't pushed other Amazon offerings via the display.
It has Tap to Snooze, which I did not expect.

It's a great echo device with nice display for clock and song titles that sounds, and looks, good in the bedroom.
Just what they said it is.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as useful as Dot with Clock was
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2024
I purchased this to replace my Echo Dot with Clock, and on the surface it is better looking, has a superior display, and seems to have better sound. My issues start when you look deeper into the device. It lacks the temperature sensor that the Dot had. This means it can't be used for automations based on inside temps like the Dot could. When playing music the clock shrinks to a size that is not readable from across the room and instead it displays album artwork for the song playing. I liked that the Dot was a speaker AND a clock, this seems to be more speaker than clock. Showing the clock while music is playing (like the Dot does) is just better for my needs, I could care less about seeing album artwork. That being said I may have to return this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice upgrade to the Dot
Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2024
Was about to order an Echo Dot for a bedside radio/alarm. Then, the new Echo SPOT was released. I am so glad I made the purchase. The sound is an upgrade from the dot, but not to the level of the Studio--as expected. The Spot updated itself upon turning on and connected flawlessly to my network.. Make sure you are using the Alexa app and you should have no problem.
I purchased the "Ocean Blue" color and it is a nice change from black and white. A video screen replaces the 'dots' on the Dot that displayed the time. The screen seems to have high detail and nice clarity. As you can tell, I really like my purchase. If you are thinking about buying this Echo, just to it! No regrets.

1.0 out of 5 stars no line out for external speaker
Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2024
I own 6 Echo Spots, various models back to the original product. ALL - every single one - has a line out socket for external amp/speakers, which I use for better/louder sound. This has been a core feature of Amazon's Echo devices.

OK, so I bought two of this new model because it is black and has a better display (why didn't they offer black versions with a display before?). I expected, of course, that it would have the same line out.

BUT I am very disappointed to find that this core feature, present in every previous Echo, was left out to save a few cents. Meaning that I can't replace any of my existing Echo Spots. So the two I just bought are going back as they are no use to me. I'm sure that Amazon saved 5 cents in manufacture by leaving off the line out socket.

NOWHERE in the online description is this mentioned. Even the tables comparing features with earlier generation Echo devices do not mention that they ditched the line out socket in the latest model, an important feature for many people.

Amazon needs to do MUCH better.
