Amazon Echo Spot (2024) review: more smart alarm than speaker

Seven years on from the release of the original Echo Spot, Amazon has surprised fans of its smart home ecosystem with a revival of its smart alarm product line, announcing the Echo Spot (2024) just a week ahead of Prime Day 2024. Amazon is known for...

Nice customization options +No more invasive camera +Great audio quality for a small speaker

Expensive for what it offers -Display is very limited and small -More style than substance

The Echo Spot is back, with a new design that feels much better suited to its smart alarm clock functionality. With improved audio hardware and a more vivid display, but without its predecessor’s slightly invasive in-built camera, the new Echo Spot is...

Review: Echo Spot

As a visual learner, I find myself forgetting what Alexa says on a frequent basis. The biggest problem for me is the weather. She starts listing off numbers, and without a visual representation, I barely process all the numbers she's told me (from the...

Handy little screen. No distracting slideshow or onscreen ads. Fine-enough sound for casual use, though I wouldn't call it great. Nicely falls in between a smart speaker and a smart display.

You can get better sound on the cheaper, smaller Echo Dot.

Speaking of the Echo Dot, the clock version ($60) is usually my recommendation for a bedroom clock. But I actually found I liked the Spot a little more as my bedside companion. The Spot's screen dimmed nicely in the nighttime like a smart display or an...

Echo Spot review: this smart alarm clock hits a sweet spot

An Alexa-powered smart speaker, the Spot follows the design cues of the Echo Pop with its flat circular front, but it adds a small 2.83-inch display above the speaker grille. This is a touchscreen display that shows a clock or various animations when...

Speedy responses from Alexa Clear, bright display Good sound for its size No camera No visible ads

Can’t set an alarm using the screen The “stop alarm” button is tiny Smart home control is voice-first No backup battery

Spot is not really a smart display (despite that being what Amazon calls it). You can’t use it as a digital photo frame or video calling device or watch a security camera’s livestream or video content on it. But I didn’t miss any of those features in a...

Amazon Echo Spot (2024) Review

Amazon's original Echo Spot had most of the functionality of its Echo Show smart displays. The 2024 Echo Spot ($79.99) is more of a successor to the discontinued Echo Dot With Clock. The smart speaker offers full Alexa voice functionality, displays...

Good sound quality for its size Useful screen shows time, weather, and album art Touch controls for audio playback and some smart home devices

Small screen has limited functionality and can't play videos Screen brightness drops at off-center angles No camera for video calls

While its display isn't too impressive, the 2024 Amazon Echo Spot performs quite well as a smart speaker, provides useful bits of information, and offers basic smart home controls.

Amazon Echo Spot review: Smart speaker leveled up

Amazon's revamped Echo Spot alarm clock moonlights as a discrete smart speaker with a tiny touchscreen for your bedroom. A cross between the Echo Dot and the Echo Show lineups, the Echo Spot lacks a camera, but has a small basic LCD panel that shows...

Customizable and vibrant display Stylish, compact design Immersive sound

Lacks temperature sensor found on cheaper Echo Dot Can’t take video calls or watch content

The revamped Amazon Echo Spot sits somewhere between the Echo Dot with Clock and the Echo Show 5, offering a good middle ground for those who want a smart speaker for their bedside with limited distractions.
