Amazon Echo Dot with Clock review

Amazon Echo Dot (3rd Gen) with Clock is both durable and portable and flaunts a modern home design. From controlling  lights to ACs to playing songs and setting reminders, the device can be categorised a ‘must-have’ gadget for a smart smart home.

The sound on the EDC isn’t improved over the regular Echo Dot and that’s fine. It’s an Echo Dot — it sounds good enough — so it’s not going to blow your ears off like an Echo Studio or HomePod. I’m just glad it doesn’t sound like mono trash the way my second-gen Echo Dot does. The EDC makes for a great gift for anyone who doesn’t have (and isn’t totally against) having an always-listening Alexa in their home.

If you already have a clock in the room where you intend to deploy an Echo smart speaker, there’s no significant advantage to be gained by spending an extra $10 to buy the Echo Dot with Clock—unless you find the temperature, timer countdown, and volume setting displays indispensable. But if you’re putting it in a bedroom or any room that doesn’t have a clock, that display is clearly worth the extra 10-spot.

The Echo Dot 3rd gen clock version is certainly a good addition to the Alexa smart speakers family. Since most of the things remain the same, Amazon is rightly not pushing it as the Echo Dot 4th generation. With the addition of a tiny display, the new Echo Dot is so much better for your nightstand. Currently, it is retailing for Rs 4,999 which is a thousand rupees more than the original, clock-less Echo Dot. Is paying extra 1000 bucks for the clock worth it? We’d say YES, it definitely is.

If the one feature you want from an Echo Dot is a clock display, the Echo Dot with Clock is the one for you. Having the time on show is undoubtedly a handy feature if you’re going to use it as a bedside alarm clock and it’s just about worth the extra £10 / $10 over the regular Echo Dot.

The Echo Dot with Clock is everything you’d expect it to be and has the same pros and cons as before. The LED display is extremely welcome offering little “glance details” without detracting from the screen-free charm smart speakers were supposed to offer in the first place

The new Echo Dot with Clock doesn’t offer much else new over the third-generation Echo Dot. Still, I think you should check out the new Echo Dot. The clock adds Rs 1,499 to the price, but I think it’s worth it. The ability to see the time by looking at the Echo Dot is actually useful. That said, if you think the Echo Dot with Clock is a bit expensive at Rs 5499, then you should get the 3rd gen Echo Dot. It’s not only cheaper at Rs 3999, but has the same attractive design and improved audio quality as the new Echo Dot with Clock.

The Amazon Echo Dot with Clock is the third generation Dot you know and love, but now it comes with an LED display on the front. The addition of this display means that now the smart speaker can display the time, temperature or any timers you may have set visually, which helps make it an ideal new companion for a nightstand or kitchen counter.

The Echo Dot with Clock is the best-sounding and most useful such smart speaker Amazon has designed so far

The Echo Dot with Clock is the pinnacle of Dots to date. It retains the upgraded speaker from the 3rd Gen and adds functionality we didn't know we were missing. The LEDs that illuminate the digital clock and show the temperature and time are a welcome addition to the default Dot speaker.
