Thanks for this video! I just ordered one yesterday. It's exactly what I want to replace the 5" Echo show in our bedroom. All I want is a simple smart clock with Alexa. I've been hoping they'd come out with an Echo like this for a long time. I have three 5" Echo Shows which I hate only due to the ads that I can't turn off. I threw out two of them already. I only have one left, a 15" Echo Show in the kitchen. I don't like the ads on that either. I don't want them and they're not helpful to me. We should be able to turn those off. Can't wait to get it.

As always a good review .. got one during Prime (don’t know if I would pay full price?) but, I use it as a bedside alarm clock .. listen to ambient noises / music to fall asleep .. works for me ..

I had the new show and didn’t like it so I gave it to my wife and got this one and love it. I use it for what you said exactly.

Not only did I just buy the Echo Spot, I subscribed to your channel as well. Thanks for this review Erin!

Your review sold me. Traded in my old echo dot clock for this and couldn't be happier. With 2 dots to trade with discount it only cost me $34. The no camera is very welcomed as it is in my bedroom. Tweaking the sound with the EQ settings really makes a nice difference. I tried the clock's night mode but it's too dim so it's disabled as the automatic dimming suits me fine.

I've been trying to connect my Echo Spot to wi-fi since 2018

Thanks for the review Erin 👍🏼 Although I'm going to stick with my Echo Globe with LED...I like large time display and robust/rich sound as I use for home sound/music.

Good review…this is the first time I’ve heard of your channel…you do a good job with it…..👍

I wanted to use it as an clock for my desk and the motion sensor to turn on the light when I am at the desk but the screen looks way too small

[Kylekashi]

Is there an option to permanently display/ quickly access buttons like the one at 6:00?

[giuseppe]

Does the echo spot have a timer when sleeping auto off mode?

Very nice Erin! I would like something bigger for the kitchen and include video calling. Have an awesome day Erin!

Good review. I have echo dot in my bedroom, mainly for the alarm. I have just replaced my echo show, in living room with the echo spot. Reason being, the clock is not displayed constantly. Plus the ads on the screen, are annoying. Greetings from the UK. Thanks..

😢 The ultrasound motion detection feature works once in a blue moon. I have placed for a replacement order, but am skeptical whether this feature is faulty to begin with or it's just my piece that's defective

Not having the Ring doorbell display function makes it a dealbreaker for me. I would like to see and communicate with person at door if in bed.

It’s been a while since I watch one of her reviews. Erin is looking good as always

I had and enjoyed the original Echo Spot for a few years, until the display went faulty- numbers would “jitter”. After research it was a documented by many with the same issue, but Amazon would not accept any fault. It got so bad it ended up in the bin. I really want to get this but worries after 2 years will face the same issue.

[oobenoob]

Lovely review as always Erin. It’s definitely got an Echo Pop form factor. I would be tempted to get this if the sound quality is decent.

[JRx]

Truly appreciate this review; always trust you!

I ended up getting the echo show 5 as the price was the same and does more. But I love the aesthetic on this one.
