It's expensive

You'll need to supply your own auxiliary cable
The sound lacks punch in the bass and warmth and richness

The Amazon Echo Spot is a new addition to the line of Amazon Echo smart speakers. The speaker is really impressive in design. Having a touch screen in a portable speaker is new. It is small, but of great help if you going to use it on your office desk, or...
If you are in the market to dip your feet into this whole digital assistant speaker universe, I would suggest you go with the Echo Dot. It's portable, supports all the major Alexa skills and has a very low entry barrier when it comes to the price point...
The display is certainly a big differentiator when it comes to smart speakers. Amazon with the Echo Spot has landed the first punch by offering a smart speaker with a display. The display works absolutely fine but the lack of YouTube support is a bummer...

Abstract: “Alexa… what is the weather?” I know it is murky outside and Alexa usually does a good job of telling you the weather. But then my query is not directed at a regular Alexa Echo speaker, this is the Echo Spot. So along with the usual, its cloudy outside...
