The editors didn't like
'Drop In' could cause privacy concerns
Price feels a little high compared to Echo Dot
Small screen for video playback
The Echo Spot doesn't currently support YouTube
Nor does it offer many video sources for your flash briefings. The touchscreen adds less than it should to the Alexa experience
And it's too small to be helpful unless you're within a few feet of the devic
Small screen
No video support
Only modest sound quality
Not many useful visual skills
Bedroom camera can be unsettling
Round screen means video cropping
Pricier than the regular Echo
Pricey
Sound quality isn't the best
Divisive camera
Sound quality could be improved
Needs more video content
Needs more critical functionalities
Should have had a built-in smart home hub
Alwayslistening object in your house
No web video support
Expensive compared to Echo
Screen needs some work. It's a camera for your bedroom
Video camera could be a privacy issue
Wish it had a USB port
Who wants an exposed video camera by their bed? The UI is a bit screwy on a round screen
It's expensive
Rating
While it comes with a 3.5mm socket to connect devices that don't have Bluetooth
You'll need to supply your own auxiliary cable
The sound lacks punch in the bass and warmth and richness

Dinky design, Alexa smarts, Decent mics, Can be connected to other speakers, Display feedback
Tinny audio, Very compact screen
If you want a compact, subtle smart speaker which provides visual feedback on top of the usual voice control, the Echo Spot is one of your only options right now. So just as well that it's everything we hoped for.That low asking price means it'll serve ni...
Excellent design that looks great in any room, 2.5-inch circular screen is bright, crisp, and doubles as a clock, Camera can be completely disabled, Great sound in a compact package, Powerful voice-recognition capabilties, Fantastic Alexa integration, wit
Hefty cord somewhat limits where it can be placed, Videos are truncated in full-screen mode, You can't use voice commands to stream music from your own local server, You can use voice commands with only a handful of the 80+ streaming services Sonos suppor
The Echo Spot just might be the perfect smart speaker, with a versatility and fashion-sense that give it a sense of purpose and style.In a two-device race to rule table-top A.I, Google Home bests Amazon Echo in terms of audio quality, microphone range, d...

Abstract: I got excited when the Echo Spot debuted. At the time, I tentatively declared it the best Echo at the time, and after living with the device for the better part of a week, my sentiments haven't really changed.The latest member of the Echo family slots in...

The Echo Spot is a fine for what it is, but Amazon still hasn't done enough to convince us that Alexa needs a touchscreen at all...

Most attractive Echo device so-far, Alexa is as capable as ever, Speaker is loud and mic-array works well, Cheaper than Echo Show, 3.5mm and Bluetooth audio options
Alexa Skills can look awkward on circular screen, No YouTube support (currently), Price difference with Echo Show is (currently) small, Circular display isn't ideal for video
One of the strengths of Amazon's cloud-based assistant is that the Echo Spot arrives and promptly takes advantage of all the advances Alexa has made over the past few years. That means plenty of smart home skills, third-party games, media services, and mo...
Cute design, Touchscreen enhances the Alexa experience, Great for video calls
Expensive for what it is, The tiny screen isn't suitable for longer videos, Mediocre audio quality
I adore the Echo Spot. It looks great on my nightstand, and I love using it in the kitchen to look up recipes or add to my grocery list. The screen enhances the standard Alexa experience; I love being able to see the information rather than just listen to...

Crisp, clear speaker for Alexa's responses, Bright display with large text that always shows the time, Microphones pick up voice commands well, Does all of the things other Echo devices can do
Do you really want an always-watching camera in your bedroom, Not the best for serious music listening, Expensive relative to audio-only Echo devices, Few third-party apps make use of the display
