Alexa still lags behind Google Assistant on certain things
Since Amazon opened up its Alexa app store to third-party developers, the power and capabilities of the Echo Dot and Echo have only increased. These are smarter products than they were just six short months ago, and will likely be even better six months o...
At a third of the price of the big Echo, the Echo Dot is the best choice for most people. The only difference is that the built-in speaker isn't great, but you can plug in your own hi-fi or use a Bluetooth speaker. Alexa is genuinely useful, especially in...

Seamless smart home integration, Pretty decent DJ, Dirt cheap
Alexa sometimes plays dumb, Needs hooking up to a better speaker
The Echo Dot is far from a perfect device. It's sometimes a little buggy, needs to be spoken down to and falls short when asked certain questions. But I'd still wholeheartedly recommend that every single person reading this buys one. If you have any smar...

excellent mic array means it can almost always hear you, small but loud enough to be heard clearly, great device support, clear mute, turns your old HiFi into a smart, voicecontrolled speaker, voice control IoT devices
really needs to be connected to a speaker for music, can't always answer the question, alwayslistening object in your house, doesn't support multiple user calendars or personal information, only one Spotify or Amazon music account can be linked at any one

That's the only downside to buying the Dot, though, and the rest of it works just as well as the full-fat Echo. It's a great way to add Alexa to other rooms in your home, allowing you to manage your calendar, shopping list, order stuff and listen to audio...

Size, Excellent voicerecognition, Range of 'Skills' Looks good, Audio output options
Internal speaker not great for music, Using cabled speakers means keeping them on
The Echo Dot is a truly impressive little bit of kit. The voice-recognition is excellent.The internal speaker isn't great for music but hooking it up to an external speaker isn't a huge chore. Bluetooth worked better for me rather than having a speaker sw...
Stellar music, to-do list and timer apps, Handy news, weather, smart home and calendar stuff too, Futuristic tech, old-fashioned price, You can plug it in to any speaker with a line in
…So yes, you do need to already own a speaker to get the most out of it, Same limitations as full-size Echo
