A good combination of functionality and utility.
I have quite a few Amazon devices in my home. I’ve purchased them here and there for many years. Disclosure: when the echo device was first introduced, I got an offer to try it at a very discounted price. I am an early adapter of technology so I guess they figured I would be a good guinea pig.I’ve tried the echo show both large and small screens. They make around one like this that has a full screen. The one thing that annoyed me about that one is that it was always showing ads. I purchased this one because it has a simple screen and shows the time only. I have this in my bedroom as an alarm clock, so that was the reason I purchased this. I’m pretty happy with it overall.I like to listen to audiobooks while falling asleep. Echo allows you to set a sleep timer, which is very convenient.You can also set a daily alarm for whatever time you want, or you can set a time to wake you up every day at the same time. You can even set it to wake you up on your regular workday at 6:30 AM and set it on Saturday and Sunday to wake you up later if you prefer.I have family and friends that would never have one of these in their homes because they’re afraid they’re being spied on. Quite honestly, if they did record this, they would probably be bored to tears.Bottom line, A good combination of functionality and utility. I like this much better than devices with a full screen.

I Recommend This Item
I will try to be as honest as possible because I depend on other people’s reviews and feel I want to help the best I can: I use these in every 3 different locations in my home. I have the full size Alexa’s in my other rooms. I really like these and use them more as alarm clocks. Why buy an old fashion clock radio, when this item can set as many alarms as you wish just by telling it to, plus gives me the date, the time, and the outside temps 24/7. Plus it’s a radio or an Alexa because you treat it and ask it questions also. plus it can activate your lights and fans or anything you want it too that plugs into an outlet. I Recommend. Good Luck.

Solid Sound, Love the Weather & Date at the Top – BUT, Physical Buttons are POORLY Placed
I’ve been using Echo devices since they first came out in 2014, and I just picked up the new 2025 Echo Spot to replace a Sphere-style Echo Spot I had in my bedroom. This new model has a taller form factor and features a 2.83” touchscreen (240×320 resolution), which is both a nice upgrade and a potential concern.Setup was mostly smooth—I opted into the pre-configuration option when I ordered it, so it automatically connected to my Wi-Fi. That part worked well, but it did take almost two full minutes to scan for networks, which felt longer than it should. After connecting, it went through about 12 minutes of firmware updates and restarted twice before it was ready to use. Not awful, but not instant either.The touchscreen is helpful for checking time, weather, or tapping quick actions. While it can be turned off in the settings, I prefer to leave it on—so I’m a bit concerned about potential screen burn-in over time. Previous models like the Echo Dot with clock used simple LED displays that didn’t have this issue.Performance-wise, the touchscreen feels sluggish. Navigation and responsiveness are noticeably slow, and it seems underpowered out of the box. For the price I paid, it’s about what I expected, but I do worry that firmware updates over time will make it even slower. It already feels like it’s just barely keeping up.Sound quality is solid—on par with past Echo models. Maybe even better! I think the bass sounds better? Perhaps there’s an improved subwoofer. It’s clear and loud enough for a bedroom or small room. My biggest frustration is the physical button placement. The volume and mic mute buttons are tucked onto the upper back of the device, which makes them nearly impossible to access if you keep the unit pushed into a corner (like on a nightstand against the wall). Every other Echo I’ve owned had intuitive top-accessible buttons—this feels like a design oversight.On a positive note, the power adapter is still 15W and compatible with older Echo Spot models. I didn’t have to swap any cords while rearranging my devices, which made the transition easier.I’m also in the process of phasing out my aging Echo Plus units due to persistent subwoofer crackling. They were great initially, but the audio degraded—possibly from firmware updates or hardware failure. I’ve repurposed my older Spot to the bathroom for a basic clock display, and I’m rotating other devices accordingly.Overall, this new Spot does the job, but it’s not without its compromises. Setup requires patience, performance is underwhelming, and the design could’ve been more thoughtful. Still, for now, it fits into my ecosystem.

So far, so good!
Picked this up on a whim last week. Didn’t really need it, but my original Echo, while still working, could not securely connect to my network. FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER the MAC address for the unit was printed on the outside of the box!!! This allowed me to whitelist the MAC on my network before even powering it up. This saved me the hassle of going in and opening up my network so that it could connect so I could find the MAC, whitelisting it, rebooting my network and hoping everything else will reconnect immediately. That last bit is typically a rarity.Anyway, got it up and running. The setup through my phone is still a bit buggy and some things simply do not work.The strangest thing is the color changes to the clock digits. During the day, they are white, but in the mid-afternoon they turn dark red as if going into night mode. Then, around one in the AM the display turns white again. I don’t get it. I have night mode set from ten at night to seven in the morning, so why is it doing this weird thing? I’ve searched for answers to this question and posed the question on the forum here and it’s crickets.It works, with its quirkiness…so far.

So Much Fun for Kids: Smart, Entertaining, and Super Handy!
We put the Echo Spot in our son’s room, and he absolutely loves it! He uses it to set his own alarms, listen to music through Spotify, check the weather, ask questions, and stay updated with news. It’s been great for making announcements to the rest of the house too.What’s even more fun is when his friends come over – they get a little too excited asking it questions and playing music. It’s become a fun and interactive part of his room that makes everyday routines easier and way more entertaining. So far, it’s been a hit with the whole family!

I recently added an Amazon Echo Spot to my smart home setup, primarily to complement my existing Amazon Echo Show, and it has fit perfectly into its role.My Echo Show is wall-mounted in the living room and acts as our main hub, especially for interacting with our Ring doorbell and video security system. I wanted a smaller, less obtrusive device for the bedroom, mainly to receive Ring alarm notifications, and the Echo Spot has been ideal for this.It works seamlessly with all my Ring devices. Notifications come through promptly, and the small screen is just enough to see what’s happening or to quickly arm/disarm the system if needed. The compact size is perfect for a nightstand, and it doesn’t feel intrusive like a larger screen might in the bedroom.While I use the Echo Show for more involved tasks and video feeds, the Echo Spot is an excellent, reliable secondary device for quick updates and alerts, particularly for the Ring ecosystem. If you’re looking for a compact smart display to extend your Ring notifications to another room, the Echo Spot is a great choice.

El diseño de este ultimo echo (spot) es increible, yo lo compre en blanco por el contraste del negro de la pantalla, pero estoy seguro que en los demás colores de igual manera se verá muy bonito.Hablando de funcionalidades:- Básicamente funciona de igual manera que cualquer otro echo/alexa, aunque puede variar una que otra cosa debido a la nueva pantalla integrada.- Las animaciones que se muestran en diferentes ocasiones (al pasar un minuto en el rejol, al poner musica, al crear una alarma, etc., etc.) son muy bonitas, puedes personalizar tanto el reloj con diferentes diseños (que probablemente con el tiempo se agreguen más) y con diferentes colores (magenta, violeta, verde aqua, azul, naranja y lima).- La pantalla es táctil/touch y por esto, puedes acceder a configuraciones rapidas dentro del mismo Echo Spot (para una configuración mas detallada, abre la app de Alexa), ya sea, cambiar el color y diseño del reloj, regular el brillo de la pantalla, bajar/subir volumen, etc., etc.Puntos malos:- El Echo llegó en una bolsa de carton con burbujas (al menos a mi y a varios más) siento que al ser un dispositivo electrónico, debería llegar al menos en una caja de cartón con mucha más protección- La pantalla no es un circulo como se podría pensar, es un rectangulo en el centro de toda la parte negra. Cuando está el brillo alto o al máximo, se notan los bordes de esta. De lo contrario, en espacios obscuros/no tan iluminados, no se nota para nada.Conclusión:Por el precio que esta en este momento a miembros Prime, es una excelente opción. Como se aprecia en las fotos, se nota mas grande que una Alexa con reloj (olvidé el nombre) pero no es tanto como para estorbar, el tamaño es ideal. valió mucho la pena por el simple hecho de ser mucho mas elegante, con mas funcionalidades y obviamente, mas nueva y actualizada.Seguramente con el tiempo se agreguen funcionalidades para facilitar muchas mas tareas. Compra esta Alexa si quieres tener un reloj digital, una bocina de buen sonido y volúmen y obviamente, una asistente para tus tareas :)))Gracias por llegar hasta aqui y espero haber aclarado la mayoria de dudas :))

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!).

I bought this for my 84 year old mother so that she could turn some smart bulbs on and off by voice in her bedroom, rather than have to make a rather long reach over to the lamps. It also works with the doorbell and does all the usual Alexa stuff. She appreciates having the time right there as well in a compact form factor which replaced her old alarm clock.

Me encantó, se ve súper linda en la recamara.Tiene funciones buenas y los sonidos para el despertador son bellos. El sonido no es alto pero para el uso que yo le doy está perfecto.
