Amazon Echo Spot (newest model), Great for nightstands, offices and kitchens, Smart alarm clock with Alexa+ Early Access, Black

This is a great alarm clock and was lucky that I found it on sale. It seems durable as I have knocked it off the nightstand accidentally and it still works. Connects very easily to Tidal and Apple Music. It's been very reliable as I haven't overslept since I have it set to wake me up to EDM music. Has good sound for a very small enclosure. This is a great item for the connected home in the 21st century.

This is a great device, the first time we’ve added to our Alexa collection around the house in years. It replaced a small digital clock on the counter in the master bath at the house… and what a difference! Much better clock, more elegant and easier to read, and the device provides the date, and capable of providing much more than that. But just out of the box, great! Unlike the clock it replaced, this does require an AC outlet, which we knew from what Amazon was showing in the description. But this is well worth giving up one outlet on the counter in the bath. Sound quality is good if not great for the size, and more than adequate to upgrade the master bath and open up music, news, timers, digital books we enjoy from audible (an Amazon company), etc. Super. Everything is hands free, which is great when your hands are wet in the bath or kitchen, etc. And setup really was a breeze, for users like us who already have Alexa devices in the house. Right out of the box, it found our WiFi (with an impossible password) and didn’t need any help from us hooking right up to our WiFi automatically and we were good to go! Finally, the price was right! These devices are priced very reasonably on Amazon, with no middle man, so to speak. Highly recommended. Enjoy!

I was looking to replace a 2023 model Echo Show 5, since it was beginning to lag a little: after the Alexa+ update, the responses/notifications were arriving on the 2020 Echo about a half-second/second before arriving on the Echo Show 5 ...which was REALLY irritating. The 2024 Echo Spot perfectly fits the bill: compared to the Echo Show 5, the size is slightly smaller (which is fine), it still has a visual component for what's necessary (time/temperature/weather), the sound is just as good, and the hardware is faster/better; moreover, compared to the newer (and larger) Echo Shows, it's substantially smaller and less expensive, which is good. All things considered, it's the perfect solution for what I needed.

The unit works great, just wish the time was larger. We bought this as we wanted something that showed the time consistently since our old Echo Show quit showing the time. Unable to program it. We wanted something more like a clock and this does fit the bill. The speaker quality is excellent.

The newest Amazon Echo Spot is a fantastic little smart device, especially if you’re looking for something compact, useful, and polished for a nightstand, office, or kitchen. It feels like Amazon really refined the idea of a smart alarm clock with this version, and the result is something that’s both practical and genuinely enjoyable to use every day. The design is one of the biggest strengths. The Ocean Blue color looks great and adds a subtle pop without being distracting. It fits naturally on a nightstand or desk and doesn’t take up much space. The display is clear, bright, and easy to read at a glance, whether you’re checking the time, weather, or timers. At night, the screen dims nicely so it doesn’t light up the room, which is exactly what you want from a bedside device. As an alarm clock, it works extremely well. Setting alarms with voice commands is quick and effortless, and the alarms are reliable. You can customize tones, routines, and schedules easily, which makes mornings smoother. It’s especially nice being able to ask Alexa to adjust alarms, check the time, or set reminders without touching anything. Alexa+ Early Access really elevates the experience on this device. Alexa feels faster, more conversational, and more accurate compared to older Echo models. Requests are handled smoothly, responses feel more natural, and the combination of voice and visual feedback works very well on the Spot’s screen. Things like weather forecasts, timers, reminders, and smart home controls are clearer and more useful with the enhanced interface. Audio quality is better than expected for its size. It’s not meant to replace a full speaker, but for alarms, voice responses, podcasts, and light music, it sounds clear and balanced. For a bedroom or small office, it’s more than sufficient and never sounds tinny or strained. In the kitchen or office, it’s equally useful. Timers, quick questions, calendar reminders, and smart home commands are easy to manage, and the small footprint means it doesn’t get in the way. It feels like a device that quietly improves daily routines rather than demanding attention. Overall, the Echo Spot feels thoughtful, refined, and well suited to its purpose. It’s a great smart alarm clock, a capable Alexa device, and a stylish addition to smaller spaces. With the improved Alexa+ experience and clean design, this is an easy five-star product and one I’d absolutely recommend.

I ended up returning the Echo Show 5 because it felt sluggish, and switching to the new Amazon Echo Spot was the best move. This thing is fast, smooth, and responds instantly. I love how clean it looks, and it works perfectly as a nightstand clock, but it’s just as great in my office and kitchen. I already have about five Alexa devices throughout my house and garage, and this one fits right in with the rest of my setup. If you want something compact, sharp-looking, and way more responsive than the Show 5, this is the one.

Love that this shows the time, temperature, and date. Very easy to connect, set up, and use. I like that there are options for how the display looks and can pick from a choice of display color themes. Good sound quality when playing my music. Works great and as expected. Black color blends in nicely with my decor. Love it.

Handy alarm clock that does so much more! I have a ton of echo devices at home and got this as it had the display and not the issues that plagued the first generation spot. The sound for its size is incredible. Good definition on bass and clear mid and high range. The new Alexa+ has been a definite improvement as well. So much more capability, although I do miss some features that were discontinued. Perfect for the nightstand, this is a nice device that won’t leave you disappointed.

Está muy bonita, el color me encantó, muy útil y para sacarle provecho si tu casa es inteligente, la pantallita la hace aún más linda. Se escucha fuerte y súper bien

Purchased it on SALE !!! Its a marked improvement over the older hockey puck style devices. The sound is VERY good as many others have commented including the good base response. Its nice to see the song details scrolling as the music plays as well as the album cover etc. This is a really nice device for the sale price. We will probably buy the charging stand for it.

Es un producto basico, esencial e indispensable, el sonido es perfecto, equilibrado y su pantalla buenisima, ideal para todo.

This alarm clock gets a lot right for everything that it can do. The sound is decent, Alexa is responsive and not usually hard-of-hearing, and you can do a lot with voice control or the Alexa app. Alarms are flexible and it has a night mode to minimize brightness as much as possible. The reason it's not 5 stars for me is how the clock behaves when you are waking up to an audio track like a streaming radio station. When this happens, the time is relegated to small text in the corner of the screen so that it's virtually invisible at a distance because the "now playing" content takes priority. To me, this is an alarm clock, and if you are woken up to an audio track because you have set an alarm then the priority should still be to display the clock at full size because the whole reason it's on your night table is to display the time, and when you're thinking of getting out of bed, the time is what you care about most. If you asked it to play music, then it's fair to make the whole screen be about what's playing, but if the trigger was an alarm then it's different. Another minor issue is that changing the device settings from the Alexa app does not work a lot of the time. Or, it works with a very long delay of more than 20 seconds that I wasn't patient enough to wait for. Coming from an Echo Dot with Clock, I'm on the fence about which device is better. As an alarm clock whose main purpose is to show time, the Dot may have been better.
