Tech Gadget Central Latest Tech News and Reviews
We use gadgets all the time. We constantly carry around with us at least one of these devices, our smartphones, and some of us own quite a few others. The gadgets we have on us at all times are extremely useful. The Amazon Echo Spot is the perfect device to rely on when we are at home. This gadget might be a member of Amazon’s smart speakers’ family, however, it is so much more than that. It is, in fact, a personal assistant one can rely on to get accurate information and just to have around and give a helping hand in the house. Of course, it won’t do the dishes, but it definitely makes its presence felt in your home.
First of all, the Amazon Echo Spot is a cool-looking gadget that can easily become the centerpiece of a room. Thanks to its modern yet simple design and great size, it can perfectly fit into any room from your living room, through your bedroom or kitchen. If you really want to make use of it the best way you can, find a place for it in the center of your home. This way, it will always be close enough for you to be able to use it. I placed in my living room, so I can always reach it when I have a task for it.
The Amazon Echo Spot would only be a cool-looking gadget if it weren’t for Alexa. Thanks to the AI assistant, this device becomes a great help in your home. While some people seriously doubt it, the Echo Spot can actually save you a lot of time by doing what it does: taking commands and helping you with a wide range of tasks. First of all, once you purchase an Amazon Echo Spot, you will never have to worry about staying in the quiet house again. All you need to do in order to fill your home with the sound of your favorite tunes is to wake Alexa and ask her to play a song. The gadget will instantly play songs from TuneIn, iHeartRadio, Spotify and what not else.
If you really enjoy books but you simply don’t have the time to sit down and actually read one, you can ask Alexa to play an audiobook for you. It’s not the same thing, but it is pretty close. Also, the Amazon Echo Spot will keep you in touch with the latest news, weather forecasts, traffic conditions and more. You just have to ask and Alexa will provide you the latest information.
The thing that really differentiates the Amazon Echo Spot from other members of its family is its display. With the help of this feature, the gadget is able to initiate video calls, or users can simply see the lyrics of the song playing or read the news for themselves instead of listening to them. The gadget is great for displaying images from your baby monitor or the cameras installed in your home. Also, it is a cooler- looking gadget than the Echo Show, which offers the same possibilities. The display is a little smaller but it still does its job and looks great while doing it. Naturally, it is more affordable too.
Now that we have a lot of smart home accessories, the Amazon Echo Spot is really a blessing. With the help of this little device, one can easily control the lighting in their home, the thermostats, and other automated items, such as garage doors or sprinklers. All users need to do is ask Alexa nicely and she will turn on the lights, dim them, turn them off, open or close the garage door and water your lawn while you take a bath in the warm bathroom Alexa warmed up for you.
What I really like about this gadget is that it can easily hear my voice even when I’m not standing exactly near it. I don’t have to shout in order to wake Alexa and make her complete tasks for me. The device understands what I’m saying without me needing to enunciate like an actor. It just gets me. While it won’t do anything really major in the house, it helps me save a lot of minutes I spent walking around the house before I got it. I don’t have to worry about the lights anymore and filling my home with music has never been easier.
One of the best things about the Amazon Echo Spot and other Echo devices too is the fact that they constantly improve. The AI assistant learns new things constantly, so I don’t really get bored with it. Unfortunately, it’s not the most affordable gadget one would normally consider buying, especially if they only intend to use it as an alarm clock or check their calendars. However, if you use it properly and take advantage of all its skills, I think it might be worth its price. Amazon often offers great deals on its devices, so if you can get it for a special price, you probably won’t regret buying it. I certainly don’t. At the moment of writing the review, the price of the gadget is $129.99. If you choose to purchase two of them, you can save $40. You can buy it here.
