Have you heard about these really smart home speakers that have the power to control your entire house? Well, if you haven’t then maybe you need to go through this incredible review to find out all about it. Amazon Echo has been rated 8.5 stars out of 10 by the experts which mean that it does have something that makes it special.

Amazon Echo came out in 2014 and since then, it has undergone a lot of updates. It has added up to this line of products. In fall 2016 (September to be accurate), we received an update which was actually a smaller version of Echo. This came with an incredibly low price which was half of the price of the Echo we received in April 2016.

What’s up with the New Echo Dot?

The New Echo Dot carries the same noise canceling technology and has an array of seven microphones. But the design is sleeker than the original Amazon Echo. However, according to Amazon, the New Echo Dot has a much more robust speech processor. This processor helps in delivering and enhanced speech recognition accuracy.

The speaker of Echo Dot is a little less powerful than the original one. The original Echo s capable of filling your entire room with perfect sound or music. However, with Echo Dot, you won’t get the same power. This is because it runs on a battery or at least the experts assume so.

The push button allows you to send instructions to Alexa. Just press it and you are ready to go. You can easily play music from your smartphone or you can also stream it. You can also check out the weather easily or give Alexa commands to control your smart home system too. So, yes; it gives you more power.

How to Use it?

You just need to plug Amazon Echo in after taking it out of the box and you will hear Alexa waking up. She will say “hello” and then she will converse with you through the setup process. You simply have to connect your speaker’s Wi-Fi system with your smartphone or tablet. Once you have done that you can easily sync things through the Alexa app on your home network. It will hardly take a minute or two and the Echo will be setup and all perfect to be running just fine.

Verdict:

If you want something large and expensive which can fill in your room with sound, then the original Amazon Echo might be your best bet. However, if you are more interested in something cheaper or something that does not cost you a lot then Echo Dot is just fine. You might have to compromise on the sound a bit but that won’t be much of a trouble. You will easily settle in for it.

Echo Dot is definitely the smartest home speaker system that you can buy at a really great and affordable price! Go grab it!
