Amazon Echo Spot (newest model), Great for nightstands, offices and kitchens, Smart alarm clock with Alexa, Glacier White

I just got the new Echo Spot and I’m loving it! The design is sleek and modern, and it looks great on my nightstand. The display is the perfect size for showing the time, weather, and my calendar without being too bright or distracting at night.The sound quality is surprisingly good for such a compact device—clear vocals and just the right amount of bass for my bedroom. I use it to set alarms, control my smart lights, and even check in on my Ring doorbell. Alexa is responsive as ever, and the new interface feels smooth and intuitive.It’s a great upgrade if you want a smart alarm clock with a ton of features packed into a small, attractive package. Definitely recommend!

I have the large screen unit for our main portal but I needed something for our bedroom in order to have Alexa access there. This little unit is perfect as it gives you access to all Alexa has to offer when you’re away from the main unit and it’s small enough to be unobtrusive, blending in well with it’s surroundings.Plug it in and it easily connects, probably takes 3-4 minutes in order to get the unit working. It’s a great choice as an additional Alexa portal or even as a main one should you so desire. Great unit, I love it!

So I love this product a lot I did order it on Friday and I just received it today. It didn't take me long to set up. I would say that it's a lot better than the regular echo dot. what I love about it is that you can see everything on the screen it tells you the time, it tells you the weather, tells you the day and date. The top is the same with the two volume buttons on each side and then the middle button is where you can mute it. To me it sounds a lot clearer and louder now if you set an alarm or if you have a notifications and it goes off you can tap the top and for the alarm it snoozes it and for the notification I'm sure it just snoozes it. You can change the face of the clock, you can change the color of the sun that's for the weather but it also tells you the degrees you can go into the Alexa app and play around cuz you can change the voice there's multiple voices you could do. You will need to update it as soon as you get it though. I would say it's a fun device it connects really fast the connectivity is great I would say right now it's not glitching so I don't feel like there's going to be any glitchiness in the future. what I love about it though is that it's a touch screen, you can change colors, you can change the clock face. You can actually see the time. Mess around in the app and there's lots of fun stuff that you could do. I would say I love it I did get mine on Black Friday so it was almost 50% off so I got mine for $44 so with that I got two of them one for me and one for my son and I think he loves it so with that being said even with the regular price I would say don't walk run and get one you will love it and if you're hesitating on getting one do not hesitate no more go get you one and you will not be disappointed

Makes setting reminders and alarms relatively easy but some features are complicated and work better through the app. I like giving it (them) feedback on the nuances which make or break the user experience.The sound quality is good and the volume gets pretty loud.It is easy to set an alarm while in bed in the dark without getting up. Its easy to ask when the next alarm is set for, or to change it. Its easy to tell it to stop or change volume. I can easily tell it to set one or multiple alarms but it can be difficult to modify them. For example, "Alexa, set an alarm for 5am to play a train horn." It will set a 5am alarm but will rarely set up the sound. When trying to modify the new alarm it will usually tell me it doesn't understand or will set up additional alarms instead of modifying the alarm I wanted. If you set 2 alarms within 15 minutes apart the first alarm will not sound at all which must be due to a snooze overlap conflict and the I don't believe the second alarm sounded either. I woke up late 3 times due to it.I often ask questions it says it doesn't understand and can't help with, when Google can usually give you something.

Love this design . Great to use. Sounds good, fairly easy to use if you’re tech savvy.
