The newest Amazon Echo Spot is a compact smart alarm clock built for a nightstand. The round display shows time, weather, and song titles at a glance, dims automatically at night so it does not light up the room, and can be customized with different clock faces to match your decor. Alexa handles hands-free timers, alarms, weather, questions, and control of compatible smart home devices, and the speaker delivers clear vocals and surprising bass for the size. Best fit for bedrooms, small desks, and kitchen counters where a full smart display would be too big. It has a small screen by design, so anyone who wants to watch video should look at a larger Echo Show instead.
