Abstract: Previously, it was possible to see who was at the door but not talk to them and Alexa wouldn't even ring a chime when the doorbell was pressed. Now, you can set Alexa to alert you whenever the doorbell is rung and tell whoever's at the door to go away wit...

The sound quality is deliberately weak – if you want beefier sound, you'll need to hook it up to an external speaker via the 3.5mm audio jack on the rear or connect it to a Bluetooth speaker – and it's certainly not a patch on that kicked out by the excel...

Sleek, compact design, Alexa with all her powers, Great as a bedside clock
Only modest sound quality, Not many useful visual skills, Bedroom camera can be unsettling
We're still not 100% sold on a screen being a critical part of the Echo experience, but the Echo Spot feels significantly more focused and purpose-driven than the slightly aimless Echo Show – especially with a US$100 difference in price. With the smaller...

Abstract: The smartphone made the standalone alarm clock worthless. Sure you probably know some alarm clock holdouts (a parent or grandmother perhaps), but you probably just use your phon e, which is already resting on the nightstand and has a decent enough alarm...

The Echo Spot is a well-made device with a good-looking design, and it's handy for quick, voice-activated video calls. Sound quality was better than we expected, and noticeably better than the Echo Dot's
The Echo Spot doesn't currently support YouTube, nor does it offer many video sources for your flash briefings. The touchscreen adds less than it should to the Alexa experience, and it's too small to be helpful unless you're within a few feet of the devic
The Echo Spot is a fine for what it is, but Amazon still hasn't done enough to convince us that Alexa needs a touchscreen at all...

'Alexa Calling' video calls, Cute design, Sounds pretty good considering the size, The smartest radio alarm clock you'll ever find
'Drop In' could cause privacy concerns, Price feels a little high compared to Echo Dot, Small screen for video playback
In the flesh the Echo Dot looks really cool, although you could easily misinterpret the Spot. A number of companies have tried and failed in this area over the years, however Amazon has the very successful Alexa ecosystem which could mean that the Echo Sp...
Excellent design that looks great in any room, 2.5-inch circular screen is bright, crisp, and doubles as a clock, Camera can be completely disabled, ZigBee smart home hub onboard, Large, vibrant, higher-resolution display, Vastly improved user interface,
Hefty cord somewhat limits where it can be placed, Videos are truncated in full-screen mode, No Z-Wave support, Not the best smart speaker for music, The power plug can be a little tricky to hide, Lack of visual search can be frustrating, Plays catch-up t
The Echo Spot just might be the perfect smart speaker, with a versatility and fashion-sense that give it a sense of purpose and style.In a two-device race to rule table-top A.I, Google Home bests Amazon Echo in terms of audio quality, microphone range, d...

Most people can safely skip the Echo Spot if they want and get another smartspeaker. There are better-sounding options, and if you want its alarm functions any screenless Echo will do, so long as you're prepared to say "Alexa, stop" before leaving for wo...
Touchscreen interface makes some tasks easier and Alexa slightly more tangible, Good looks; can fit in most any room, Decent sound for a small device, Frontfacing camera adds value
Lacking in display integration and touchscreen interaction with Alexa/Skills
Amazon's Echo Spot is a cool device. It looks nice on a nightstand, desk, or countertop and provides decent sound for music playback in such a setting. The screen cycles through a few bits of information like date, time and weather, but is especially usef...
