This is easy, buy when you need it, if you didn't need it then it was a mistake, but nothing major. If you needed it and used it then you bought at the right time.

I purchased this new and the echo dot when they were on sale on Amazon Prime day recently.
I kept the dot and returned the echo. I found the echo couldn't hear me over its own speaker but the dot has no problem.

You are quite possibly the only person in the history of the Echo who has found the dot to pick up speach better than the full echo! :grin: So well done to you! We're defnitely the opposite - I can shout from up stairs to my full blown echo and she still does what I need but the dot next to the bed cant pick me up unless I turn to talk to her.

Interesting. Perhaps there are different versions of the same unit. My dot hears me in the next room without me needing to shout. The only issue I've had is on day two when she would repeatedly blank me when I called her name. She'd light up, and then ignore me. WTF?! Ignore me, in my own home!! An infuriating morning until I realised its Alexa and not Alexis. :sweat_smile:

I've noticed the same. I've 3 dots which are fab, no issues. My friend has the full size echo and when the speakers are playing on high volume, Alexa doesnt hear a thing, even shouting. Needs to be manually turned down for her to hear you. The dots do recommend that linked speakers arent kept right next to it tho because you get the same issue so it's understandable that the full size echo struggles when it's part of the same speaker unit

Thats bevcause the dot is far, far quieter. The echo hear's me fine unless I take the volume above about 6.

An £80 mono speaker.
This ultra modern tech seems to be passing me by.

Definitely passing you by if you think this is simply a mono speaker. It's like calling a laptop a screen.

Wow, are you trolling or are you genuinely in the dark regarding what the Echo does/can do/will do??

It is essentially a bluetooth speaker with mic. As clever as a smartphone app.
