What reviewers say
Reviewers find it a fun, compact entry-level Alexa speaker with decent sound for its size and good voice pickup. The shared criticism is value: it lacks the Echo Dot's temperature and motion sensors while costing little less, so Trusted Reviews and TechRadar see the Dot as the better buy; TechRadar also heard distortion at high volume.
