Alexa, you might know, is the female persona inhabiting the Echo, a Wi-Fi-enabled black cylinder about the size of a Pringles can, which you prime to answer your questions or perform services by invoking her name. âAlexa â¦ whatâs the weather,â etc. etc. I was given a $179 Echo last year as a gift, and a $49 Echo Dot â a squashed down version endowed with a lousier speaker but equipped with Bluetooth capability â as another gift for Fatherâs Day.
The Echo Dot is a great secondary Alexa device for households that already own the larger Amazon Echo. It sounds great, though we wish it had smarter speaker switching. For now, it's mainly something for people addicted to Alexa. Let's make this clear up front: You still can't buy an Echo Dot on its own.
