Design & build quality4.3
“I am really pleased with my Echo Spot. I wanted an 'alexa' device with a clock on it, for the bedroom. This is perfect. Looks and sounds good. Alarm sound, screen brightness and colour can be set on the Alexa app. You can also set up a 'dim' & sleep mode, during certain times. A double tap on the top of the device will snooze alarm. What is especially love with this smart speaker, as with all Alex” — EJ · argos.co.uk

“Quality:Bright screen, loud and clear speakers, more features available via Google Home. Suitability:Good as a digital clock but works better when the smart features are used. Appearance:Minimalist, looks good on any table. This can double as a clock and a photo frame. You can also connect it to Google Home to use features like setting alarms, playing music and broadcasting your voice.” — shopee.ph
