Customers have mixed opinions about the sound quality of the digital device. Some find the sound to be surprisingly good for its size, and say it's better than the Dot. They also say the volume is perfect, and it'll be good enough for basic listening. However, others say that the speaker on this one is below par, and needs some work. They say the audio playback on Soundbar is very bad, and the microphone could be a bit more responsive.

Customers are dissatisfied with the music functionality of the digital device. They say it doesn't respond as expected, struggles with commands, and fails to complete tasks. Some customers also mention that the screen stopped working quickly and the functionality with the Ring Doorbell is limited. The sound is ok but not great for music, and the Alexa is working ok. However, some customers still cannot watch Youtube videos.

"...also worth noting the speaker on this one is below par, so it's not for music." Read more

"...The only downfall is you still cannot watch Youtube videos." Read more

6 customers mention0 positive6 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the value of the digital device. They say it's not worth the price, it'll only be useful as a clock, and it'd be better off buying a similar product.

"...At nearly $AU200 it is pretty pricey, seeing that you can get a similar unit without a screen for less than $50...." Read more

"...that I'm being asked to review this item, to be honest it's not *really* worth it...." Read more

"...It still won't play a song as the alarm. Not as useful as I hoped but hopefully more will come through...." Read more

I purchased my Echo Spot at Officeworks as I had a gift card to use up. Should have waited as Amazon does really good prices on these compared to the shops.I use it as a bedside clock, I previously had a Dot for this purpose but I find this is heaps better because of the visual. Weather isn’t just spoken, it’s shown. Heaps better speaker than the dot as well. I can also see our arlo’s on the screen which is great if you hear something go bump in the night. I wish there was more integration with the Ring doorbell.Other than that, I haven’t found many more uses. I can see the potential for this and I think amazon is really working on making it better. We need some more Australian skills and that to make this device a worthwhile purchase. Hopefully the Show is released here too.

Another quality Amazon Echo product. Works perfectly and sound quality is good for such a small device.
The touch screen was a real bonus, as initially I was unaware of it being touch screen.
Some areas of the device do not utilise touch screen yet, but I am sure this will be addressed in the future.
Overall, a pretty decent device.
Just be aware it has a pretty chunky Power Adaptor and this may interfere with other devices you want to plug in to the same outlet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little clock
Reviewed in Australia on 29 May 2019

This is a fantastic little smart clock and it has replaced an Echo and an alarm clock.

We've set it up with a classic analog clock face and it shows the time very well indeed (of course).

Is it perfect? No, for example it could give better control over the night light so the time would be easier to read without emitting too much light.

Is it good value for money? You bet. No more tinny little Echo Dots in our house. They will be replaced over time with these little beauties.

As a compact bedside clock/radio/weather forecaster, this unit works pretty well. The sound quality is surprisingly good for its size, but I tend to use it connected to larger bluetooth speakers instead. The screen brightness and colour changes according to the time of day, and is not overly bright at night to disturb sleep. There are a number of different clock faces to choose. The unit is capable of other functions, such as a video phone of sorts to other units in the house or to friends. Having an inbuilt camera on anything in the bedroom is a bit of a worry though. You can pick up an aftermarket slider that obscures the camera if you are the sort that worries about this sort of thing.

The LCD display is good and the resolution is pretty fine. It is possible to set up a cyclic display of clock and weather, however if you select this mode, it will interject screens full of messages advertising other functions it is capable of. There is no way to turn that off. If you glance across the room to check out what time it is, you become a zombie slave having to watch and wait for the correct screen to come up. As such, it's not worth turning on and that limits the device to just a clock. Aside from pretty graphics that change to reflect the current weather conditions, and various analogue clock faces, the screen isn't much good for anything else. It's not like you could sit there and watch a two hour movie on this thing -- the shape doesn't support that sort of thing and I am unaware if there are any apps specifically targeting this device. At nearly $AU200 it is pretty pricey, seeing that you can get a similar unit without a screen for less than $50. The better speaker probably only adds another $20 or so of value. As such it is overpriced.

Not long after purchasing it I was sent an email advertising the new range of 2018-19 Echo devices. The spot was conspicuously absent from the list, being replaced by a picture-frame sized rectangular screen device. This leads me to believe the Spot will be a short-lived, discontinued, unpopular product. Hopefully you have a large bedside table for the bigger replacement device, because the compact ball-shaped form factor is really the only thing the Spot has going for it.

Reviewed in Australia on 23 January 2019

Not as good as google home hub. Set up was frustrating. Can’t customise many features (e.g. I don’t want useless info displayed, it constantly thought i would be interested in trivia and pop culture news). A little creepy too as the camera is on in the bedroom.

Even worse, after leaving this review, someone from a UK number called me while i was at work, twice. To ‘discuss the review’. I never gave anyone from amazon permission to call me and bother me at work. So creepy, so wrong. Do not buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works well, but...
Reviewed in Australia on 8 January 2019

First of all, the screen is a huge bonus. The sound quality is decent, not great but it's good enough for basic listening for Spotify. I find Alexa a bit less intuitive than the Google Assistant though, and having to search for and add skills manually is sometimes a pain although I can understand it's good to only load in what is necessary for you. The main problem with this is because I live in Australia, many skills don't work with Australian English but if I set it to US English it mispronounces a whole lot of things like place names and all (it doesn't do a great job when set to Australian English either though!)
