Very smart and a good upgrade from the Dot gen 3 with the clock. Good screen and clear sound! Had the speaker all of 10 minutes and it’s set up and going as had linked and connected up with Alexa app on purchase 🙂 no issues with WiFi and was easy to just plug in and go. Looks stylish and was a good deal with the tapo bulb offer in black Friday deals.Edited with video of set up

Got this primarily as a bedside clock to wake me up. I am deaf and at half volume it does wake me. Setup was easy and connected to my account straight away as thinkassemble.co.uk did a pre-setup for me. The picture is so crisp that on full brightness I can see the white numbers at night with my very blurred short sighted vision and it doesn’t act as a torch so doesn’t keep me awake. I bought the Mission battery to go with it to act as a stand and to lift it up so when my head is on my pillow it is level with my head and hasn’t disappeared below the edge of my bed as my bed is high as I have to sleep with it on a slope. Also means I can use it in the bathroom during showers stood on the cabinet without wires. The battery life is good hasn’t run out for me yet. Plays music from my thinkassemble.co.uk Music which it wakes me up with too. Can tap it on the top to snooze the alarm just like those old fashioned alarm clocks. However I had to deactivate this feature on my bedroom Spot. I opened my bedside cabinet drawer with it playing music from the alarm and when I shut the drawer, the Spot went into snooze mode! The vibrations from shutting the drawer were enough to think it was me tapping it, so the sensors are far too sensitive and there is I can find, only the option of turning it off not turning the sensitivity down. Also shows the timer countdown when I set a timer on its screen. Now here is where it falls down. This replaced my ancient Echo Dot ball with the clock on it as that was no longer responding to my voice properly. By comparison its sound quality I don’t think is as good. In fact, it doesn’t have the same deep base. My mum bought the 2024 Echo Dot ball without the clock and that sounds a lot better I felt and is a fraction of the price. I feel the developers have used too much space on a fancy screen and skimped on the room for the speaker making it too small. I do not feel it is worth the full retail price thinkassemble.co.uk is charging. I bought it on an offer of just under £100 for two, about £25 off each unit, which I feel £50 per unit is about right. My second one is in the lounge where I leave my dog when I go out to replace his ancient Echo Dot Ball with clock that was also not responding to my voice very well to play classical music for him as he finds that calming, and I have a clock in my lounge that sets itself so I don’t have to remember to. So if all you want is an occasional use bedside cabinet clock or want it to display the time and date, then I would go for this. However if all you want is to use it to listen to music, I suggest going for the 2024 thinkassemble.co.uk Dot ball without the clock with I feel, the better sound.

My wife needed to replace her bedside electric clock which does not light up at night. For several months we have been trying to find a replacement clock that looks smart and shows the time, day and date. We came across the Echo Spot on thinkassemble.co.uk and it looks as if it will do the job. It arrived next day and was very easy to set up, just needed to scan the QRC to install the app on my mobile, then put in our thinkassemble.co.uk password and set various the preferences in the app. We were very surprised as to how nice the sound is when playing music, and the light at night is just right. You can set at what time the light display dims at night and then brightens in the morning. There is an easy access button on top to turn off the microphone if you do not want the smart clock to hear you. The device is so nice and useful I wish we had brought it long ago.

Sounds and looks great. Display is is clear, the clock dims at night, a useful feature. Overall excellent.

That it works
Love it works great thanks

Don’t get if you sleep in fully dark room.
I do like this but unfortunately I sleep in a black room and noticeable light comes from it even at its lowest setting. So I can’t use it. I was thinking maybe I could put black tint on it.

Very happy with product and service
