Amazon Echo Pop vs Amazon Echo Spot

What owners say

Owners of both are struck by fuller sound than the size suggests and by setup that takes minutes. Amazon Echo Pop owners talk about value: several Pops for whole-house music and intercom, lights and cameras by voice, bedtime routines, and for some families emergency calling for elderly relatives. Their complaints are a short power cable, a speaker that prefers to sit near the router, a wake word that can be hit or miss depending on placement, and no temperature sensor or tap-to-pause. Amazon Echo Spot owners talk about the screen instead, easy to read across the room and a clean replacement for an old alarm clock. Their warning is that it stays bright at its lowest setting in a fully dark bedroom, and a few report occasional freezes fixed by a restart.
