Amazon Echo Spot (newest model), Great for nightstands, offices and kitchens, Smart alarm clock, Designed for Alexa+, Black

I absolutely love this Echo Dot! One of my favorite features is that you can customize the color of the clock display, which makes it easy to match my space. I chose the black version because it fits perfectly with my black, white, and beige office aesthetic. The sound quality is great for its size, and the volume gets surprisingly loud. I also really like being able to see the time and when music is playing on the display—it’s a small feature, but I find it very useful throughout the day. Setup was incredibly easy. Connecting it to the Alexa app only took a few minutes, and everything worked right away. The only feature I wish it had is the ability to display photos, but I understand that’s not what this model is designed for. Even without that, it’s an excellent smart speaker, and I’m very happy with my purchase. I would definitely recommend it!

I picked up the Echo Spot in Ocean Blue to use as a bedside clock, and it has been a fantastic addition to my nightstand. The design is sleek, compact, and the blue color looks wonderful. It is super easy to manage alarms, check the weather at a glance, and control smart home devices right from the bedroom. The sound quality is great for a bedside device, and having quick access to music or a visual display without being overwhelming in the dark is ideal. Highly recommend if you want to add a smart clock to your room!

The Echo Spot was quick to set up and works exactly as expected. The display is bright and easy to read, the sound quality is good for its size, and Alexa responds quickly to voice commands. It’s perfect for a nightstand or desk, especially if you want to see the time, weather, and reminders at a glance. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase.

Imagine waking up, looking at your clock to see if it's a good time to get out of bed, and instead of the time you see a video ad... and that's why the Echo Show 5 is, at least now, a poor choice for a bedside alarm clock. So, enter the Spot, thanks to a low upgrade price. First impressions are good - has everything I want and need from the device - clock, weather, alarm, ability to play music and news - and none of what I don't - NO ADS! (At least not yet, hopefully never.) All I had to do to get it set up was plug it in - everything was done automatically. It's a good size, and the clock looks good with some options and is easily readable from across the room. The sound is OK and if I want more I have it paired via bluetooth with a stereo system, just like my Show 5 was. The screen is actually a small square - it's not the entire upper half of the device as it may appear - might be nice if it was but for the lower upgrade price it's fine, with good color, quality and animations. I was so frustrated with my Show 5 displaying ads and yelling at it to "SHOW THE CLOCK" only for it to quickly go back to an ad that I had started unplugging it. So while the Spot may be seen as a "downgrade," for me it's actually an upgrade.

Best Echo by far and on sale it's a steal! I got mine and IMMEDIATELY ordered a second one. Having the clock moved my echo front and center and eliminated my ancient alarm clock. You can adjust the brightness and clock face/colors on the spot. I am old and even I can see it and READ IT with no glasses. Win. It has a night mode that you set the times for, dims the screen so you can sleep. I like that. Played some music on it, wow. Way good sound for a tiny device. There is a dock available with USB ports also ( don't need it so no review) if you have a speaker or device you needs power it's covered with the dock. A well thought out device. I liked the Pop because you can see the blue notification light when it comes on. Right on the front where it should be. This is the same. The other echo ball things suck, you can't see when it lights up good enough. Buy this one. A clock that the time is always right on, weather icons, custom clock face. Yeah this is the only echo I am using now. It's that good and I have 6 echos. Had them the first year they were released to replace my Google nest mini device that would not work. I have an echo show, does blink camera live video. That's the only thing the spot can't do. But the spot has the clock up and you can read it, all the time. Spot wins. Best Echo, no question. A+ Amazon. Btw Amazon the blink app sucks, errors so much. There now you believe me since it's not all Amazon fluff and praise. This device is awesome.

I bought the newest Echo Spot for my home office desk, and it has been a fantastic addition to my workspace. It’s the perfect size—compact enough that it doesn’t take up valuable desk space, but large enough to easily see the time, weather, and reminders throughout the day. The sound quality is surprisingly good for such a small device. I use it to listen to music while I work, set timers and reminders, check my calendar, and control my smart home devices, and it responds quickly every time. The customizable clock faces are a nice touch and give it a clean, modern look that fits perfectly on my desk. Setup only took a few minutes, and it connected seamlessly with the rest of my Alexa devices. It’s become part of my daily routine and helps me stay organized and productive while I work. If you’re looking for a compact smart display for a desk or office, I highly recommend the new Echo Spot. It looks great, works flawlessly, and has been one of my favorite additions to my home office.

The new Echo Spot has been a great addition to my nightstand. The display is bright and easy to read, and I love being able to check the time, weather, and upcoming reminders with just a glance. Alexa responds quickly to voice commands, making it easy to play music, control my smart home devices, or set alarms without reaching for my phone. It's compact, stylish, and fits perfectly in a bedroom, office, or kitchen.

We were very frustrated with an Alexa Eco show 5 we installed in our bedroom. The thing never sleeps and the light of the screen was on all night. There is no way to avoid advertisings, announcements or other crap. Settings don’t work. This device is a game changer, it is discrete, the light dims at night and the sound is excellent.

Elegante y con buena calidad de sonido, cuenta con la nueva versión de Alexa que te habla con mas emoción. Es mas inteligente que generaciones pasadas. Se puede vincular a la PC como bocina principal.

I'm thrilled to share my experience with the latest Amazon Echo Spot, specifically the Glacier White version, which I've been enjoying immensely since it landed on my nightstand. As someone who's a bit apprehensive about having a camera in the bedroom, I was stoked to find this camera-free iteration, and it's quickly become my go-to smart alarm clock. First, let's talk about the design – it's a stunner. The Glacier White finish is sleek, modern, and blends seamlessly with my home decor. The compact size is perfect for my nightstand, and the screen is vibrant and easy to read, even from a distance. The absence of a camera was a deliberate choice for me, and I'm loving the simplicity it brings. Without the camera, the device feels less intrusive, and I appreciate the focus on the display, which is incredibly useful for glancing at the time, weather, and notifications. Speaking of which, the screen is super handy for checking the weather forecast, and I love being able to see the time in a glance. But what truly elevates this device is its seamless integration with Alexa and my smart home setup. I can easily control my lights, thermostats, and security cameras (yes, I have cameras elsewhere in the house!) with just my voice. The notifications are also super helpful, keeping me informed about what's happening around the house, even when I'm not actively using it. The sound quality is crisp and clear, making it perfect for listening to music, podcasts, or news briefs while getting ready for bed. And, of course, the alarm clock functionality is top-notch, gently waking me up with a soothing glow and optional news updates. One of my favorite features is the ability to customize the display with different clock faces and information tiles. It's a small touch, but it adds a personal touch to the device. If you're in the market for a smart alarm clock that won't break the bank (or your privacy concerns), I highly recommend the new Echo Spot. The lack of a camera is a welcome change, and the screen more than makes up for it

I’m so happy with my new echo spot , work quickly, Alexa respond some time with mistakes and not all interference it’s available. But clock work perfectly

Muy buen sonido y lo que me hizo comprarlo, pues que tiene un buen reloj que se ve de lejos, ya que tiene buen tamaño

El modelo en sí, es muy vistoso, tiene acabados muy elegantes y de buen material, el sonido tiene una diferencia de 3 decibeles más en comparación con el echo dot 5ta., realmente no es mucha la diferencia, sin embargo se alcanzan a apreciar un poco más los bajos. La pantalla touch definitivamente le aporta mucho, se puede cambiar la apariencia del reloj, los niveles de brillo y control de música. El tamaño es un 30% más grande que el echo dot 5ta., supongo que es para compensar la ubicación de la bocina, debido al tamaño de la misma. El voltaje de uso en promedio es de 2.5 watts con brillo máximo...ya en modo música vol. 10, alcanza un promedio de 3.6 watts, lo cual ahorra bastante energía para la potencia que mantiene! El modo nocturno es conveniente si te molesta la luz de la pantalla por las noches, la pequeña desventaja es que esta no se puede apagar en su totalidad, pero realmente no es molesto, ya que la pantalla tiene tecnología de ahorro y baja luz. (Actualización, ya incluyeron el apagado de la pantalla, se agradece muchísimo) El mostrar las carátulas de las canciones es bastante bueno, sin embargo: no me agradó, que al reproducir música, las carátulas de las canciones se mantienen todo el tiempo. Solución: le tienes que dar la indicación: "Alexa, inicio" para que nuevamente muestre el reloj. Por lo que, si de alguna forma te interesa escuchar música y ver tu reloj al mismo tiempo desde una distancia de más de 2 mts. Será casi imposible visualizar el pequeñito reloj que aparece sobre las carátulas de la música...espero tengan alguna actualización a ese detalle. En general estoy muy contento, definitivamente vale la pena! Por mi parte yo le daría un 4.7 en general. Iré actualizando si descubro más detalles en pro o vs. Actualización: -Añadieron el apagado de pantalla (se agradece mucho!).
