Best For streaming radio: Amazon bedroom Clock

Buy on Amazon

For a low asking price, amazon bedroom clock has managed to overwhelm their customers by packing as many features as they could. The new round echo dot w/clock has a clock display that is too bright at night specially. The clock screen is also very bright, which is very helpful at night specially. It is great for listening to music. The LED circle on the bottom is neat. The voice recognition is superb. It’s a compact little package and the speaker is forward-facing so sound is a bit fuller and clearer even on lower levels. The clock display brightness can be controlled to a bare minimum. The sound is crisp and voice recognition is normally spot on.

Why We Like This:

Great for automation, but slower than gen
Amazing quality design, great sound for a small to medium sized room
Great addition to a wireless home
Simple to connect and works like a charm

Best With Bulb: Plu Echo Dot

Buy on Amazon

We know from years of feedback from readers, customers and amazon sellers, what most people want in a convenient and appropriate dot. The product is exactly that - it's a simple product that hits all the right notes. If you're looking to jump into the smart assistant/Alexa world or looking to upgrade from previous generations then this is a good device though there are now plenty of 3rd gens, both new and pre-owned that are more reasonable. It's a reasonably heavy product, and the materials feel sturdy and premium. It will connect to your LED lights. The mismatching cord definitely cheapens the product, and sticks out. It is easier to work with the kids. It has no battery so it has to stay plugged in.

This Echo is unobtrusive, convenient, and affordable. It's easy to set up and get connected to wi-fi. The sound quality is amazing and very user friendly.

Why We Like This:

Much easier to use and to switch stations effortlessly
Gray sound for a little speaker
Charcoal colored version of 4th gen dot, with white power cord
