Is the Echo significantly better than the Dot? Considering getting one for the house as we use the Dot for music – just thinking that we could move the current Dot to the bedroom and then use the Echo within the front room. The plug could then go to my dad for Christmas…
Its a horses for courses job really – the speaker in the Echo s a lot better than the dot – but then you can’t plumb it in to your audio setup (no audio out). I recently got a battery base (black friday) for my echo (the old tall one) and it is great as you can move it around. There’s battery bases and battery/speaker bases for the dot. If I could have found a battery/speaker base for a dot that sounded as good as the Echo then that would be the perfect, post flexible solution – but I couldn’t.
The “Echo Show” is pretty limited by the look of it – hopefully will improve but YouTube has gone due to a spat with google, no playback of your own local media – easy video calling is about all it brings to the party beyond the echo/dot.
