Best Echo Spot Review
Description
Echo Spot is an all-new stylish Echo device that can show you things. Just ask to see the weather, watch news bulletins, set an alarm, play music, watch videos, check out your calendar, and more. Personalize your Spot with a collection of clock faces to suit your style or set your favorite photo as the background. Make video calls to anyone with an Echo Spot or the Alexa App. Echo Spot can hear you from across the room, even in noisy environments, or while playing music as it has four microphones that use beam-forming technology and enhanced noise cancellation. When you want to use Echo Spot, simply say the wake word “Alexa” and it responds instantly. If you have more than one Echo, Alexa responds intelligently from the Echo you're closest to with ESP (Echo Spatial Perception).

User Feedback
Amar-
It’s an amazing product....!
It has changed the way we listened to music before...!
Instead of using costly music system we prefer listening it on our echo spot!
The speakers are decent but in future if Amazon can come out with branded speakers like Harmon K etc or even with Bose speakers with enhanced price tag .... I don’t mind buying it again!
Depali-
I love how easy it is to use this device - even my kids enjoy playing with the "Alexa" voice assistant. She plays games like "Magic Door", an interactive game, and also answers questions like "What is the biggest dinosaur?".
I use Alexa to manage my work and home tasks, and to remember things like "What time is my next meeting?" (She connects to my calendar).
Screen: The screen gives tips on what to say, and how to talk to Alexa. I can see the time and choose a background image from my phone or from my Facebook account. Its great fun to use!
Parbhat-
Alexa you are given a female name for nothing.
Echo Spot is just amazing.
You ask who the president of USA is and the answer comes with a picture of Donald Trump in all his glory, same with Indian prime minister.
Ask her to play Michel Jackson Thriller from 7 meters away and it gets played with the correct album cover showing.
You can play true or false with her. There are a lot of enhancement you can apply on line using the supplier app.
If you have a prime membership you can play Prime music , Prime video.
The screen shows a clock, customisable with 40 different dials.
Or a screen saver.
She is a companion; you can tell her to remember things and she will.
She is a pet. you can talk to her. she will talk to you back.
She is your secretary: I told her to call my mobile and she asked me by naming each of my devices, which one?
