Hey, so I hope your having a great day guys
Like always and today we are going to be unboxing this Amazon Echo Dot.
So this is the mini version of
the Amazon Echo and bascially
its the same thing except its smaller and more compact and more
better if you wanna take it around with you.
So
we have this one here and theres 2 versions
of these theres one with a screen
and there's one without a screen. So
if you aren't sure which one you have
which one you have right here it usually says if you have the
screen version or not, it says Echo Dot with display
but this one does not say that, so,
I'm assuming this one does NOT have the screen.
The screen basically just says words
or like it changes depending on what you
need the screen for, and you could also
turn of the screen in the settings of the app.
But like if you were
to turn of the screen
and you had the screen one and turned of the screen, then why not just get the normal one like this.
This one starts at a price of $40 guys
in the US, so I'm not sure
how much it costs outside in other countries but
in the US this is for $40. If you are thinking of getting one that's the price
and
the bigger one goes up to a 100 so it depends
on which one you want so this one is
by Amazon, and it uses
this Automating System (Alexa) right here. I cant
say the name right now cuz
its against copyright, but then it has Bluetooth
Wi-Fi,
audio line out, microphone On/Off button so
and then it uh uses
all these other programs like Amazon Music,
and all the other ones, so this is gonna be a fun
unboxing experience and we'll see how easy
it is to set up if this is your first Echo Dot cuz
we have a Google Home, but we don't have a Amazon Echo Dot
this is our first one, so we are going to be downloading the app,
seeing how easy it is, and lets get started!
Lets open this Echo Dot up. So this one doesn't have a- I got a scissor to open this but it apparently doesn't need one
cuz it has these pull tabs
like Apple uses on there iPhones too so,
its pretty easy to open up. On the first glance
it has a nice box expression
so, it says Echo Dot on the front,
and it tells what it can do on the
left-
right, and then
on the back it just has some random
wording that I don't think I'm gonna read
but, on the left it has everything
that it can help you with around the house
and thats pretty much it, and it has 3
things that you can ask it on the very front of it,
so, thats pretty nice.
So, lets just pull these tabs and open it up.
Oooh that was satisfying! That was actually very satisfying,
it had like a very "clean" noise.
so lets see
k so it opens up
Wow, so it has the Amazon Logo right there,
on the top of the box.
Ok, so its similar to the way the Google Home comes. Um
the Echo Dot itself is on the top of the box,
so similar packaging to the Google Home.
So lets take it out.
So this is like a greyer, like
a heather or like a Sandstone color I'm pretty sure
that its called
so, I'll tell you exactly in the
description below so go check it out
and it has a
it very nice material the
around it, so the material around
is similar to the one that is used to cover the Google Home.
So the Echo Dot, so this is the 3rd Generation Echo Dot guys,
the 2nd Generation Echo Dot was
much different, it had a like plastic body,
so this one is a HUGE upgrade to it, and
if you were to get a Echo Dot, I recommend this one, rather then the
Echo Dot 2nd Gen.
So inside, under the Echo Dot itself,
there is some getting started
paperwork. Just tells you how
you can do, how you can plug it in, and
what it can do and how to Troubleshoot it.
So that's that, and then there is
some
things that you can ask it cuz, lets be honest, not all of us know
exactly what these can do. We barely use them,
so we use like- most people
just to ask some things
but they don't know the full capability
of the Echo Dot so this here tells you some things
that you can actually ask it, and it will be really helpful with.
So, under that
is this. So this box comes out and then,
Oh, ok, there's this packaging
and then under that there is a
charging cable
Ok so this charging brick is pretty nice, it looks like
more of a laptop, or a computer charging brick
than a Echo Dot itself but its huge,
and its 15 watts so thats kinda like
so that a little bit high- so um its a pretty
good sized charging dock.
The cable also though- so like for the
Google Home Mini, they use a USB
Type C Cable, this one comes with a
rounded Echo Dot cable
that is only used with the Echo Dot itself
So basically, if you break this one or if you
lose this one, you have to go to Amazon directly, and you cant
use any old USB C cable,
like you can on the Google Home Mini.
So, this thing can open up,
right here.
Ok, so that wasn't as satisfying, but very satisfying too.
And then this comes right off.
Ok, so it has plastic on the top.
The plastic does feel very nice though, very smooth,
feels nice to your hand,
and around it this um,
This is kinda like
the cloth material that goes around it,
around there, and then behind there's a Amazon Logo
and some rubber that actually, if I
pull it down,
so it actually stops it from moving, really well,
so it doesn't move as much, so its very helpful.
Like, I'm trying my best to move it but it wont move,
so thats a good thing, so that means that
its not gonna move around and stuff.
Thats pretty much it. Lets power this on, and
lets see what this can do.
Ok guys, so I just powered this on, so I dont know if you can realize or not,
but it has a blue disc going around it.
I don't know if this is trying to tell me something or not,
but its powering up, its booting up so,
lets see what it does. And this is gonna be in Realtime
so you guys can basically just see how long
it actually takes.
So it has a little bit of a tune to it. *Alexa* "Hello"
"Your device is ready for set-up."
"Just follow the instructions in your Alexa App"
There you go. So its telling me to download the app.
I'll do that right now and meet with you guys.
All right guys, I'm inside the Amazon Alexa app,
right here
its asking me if I wanna set up a device, and I'm gonna say yes.
So basically its just asking me if
I have a new device and then
lets see what else it does next.
Ok so its loading...
Its searching for devices.
Ok, so an Echo Dot can be set up, ok, yep,
that's exactly what I want.
Now its searching...
It wants me to select my Wi-Fi, so
I'll be right back, once I select the Wi-Fi.
Ok, so I told it my Wi-Fi, so
now its just connecting and its
looking for my Echo Dot right now.
So, the Echo Dot also made a little bit of a sound to it,
and I don't if that came in video or not, but
it made a little bit of sound,
when I selected my Wi-Fi network.
Still searching for it, apparently.
Ok, I don't know if you can hear that but
uh *Alexa* "Your Echo is Ready" There we go, so it just said "Your
Echo is Ready" to me.
Its just asking you which room
you would like to use it in. So basically you can use it in
kitchen, dining room, Master bedroom, Family Room,
Living Room, Den, Office, Bathroom, Hallway
Lounge, Basement, Garage, Patio,
Backyard, Downstairs, Upstairs,
practically anywhere you can use it and its a really
vast selection of which you can use,
so that's great. Now
I'm gonna be selecting the room and show you the next step.
Ok guys, so after I gave it
what room I want, it just asked me
my name, my address,
and basically all the
stuff that it needs when-
So like it needed my address to like if I say,
"Hey Alexa"
then it would like Come Home
and stuff.
That's pretty cool.
Now lets say "Go to Home"
*Alexa* "Hello, I'm Alexa, nice to meet you."
"There's a lot of fun and helpful things I can do."
"I Have a quick introduction that we can walk through together."
"Can I show you 4 things to try?"
*Me talking to Alexa* "No thanks."
*Alexa* "Hmm.. I didn't hear that." "Do you have time
to hear a quick introduction?" *Me* "No thanks"
*Alexa* "No Problem. Check out the Alexa app
for some things to try. Or, if you want
this introduction later, just say-"
*Me* Ok so I'm gonna mute her.
There we go.
I muted her and she just basically was trying to talk
to me.
K, so its basically just showing me around the app.
Ok, so it shows you
your weather and everything there,
and
basically everything like the music
stations from Amazon Music,
and all that stuff. So that is pretty much it guys for this video,
and
now in the next clip I will be showing you Amazon Alexa,
and I will ask it somethings...
Ok, so basically
um
this light around it just turn around and
then it just gets bigger
the higher the volume is.
Oh wow, that is loud.
That is actually very load in real life, so Hey Alexa,
How are you
*Alexa*
"I'm Quiet cheerful, probably because
I've been thinking about my favorite animal."
Ok, so that was a random answer but she IS
very, very loud. So I'm gonna turn that down a bit.
*Volume Noise from Alexa*
Ok, so um, it also says that
you can ask it to do stuff around the house, so
you can pair it up with a smart device, obviously,
which hasn't been done yet, so
we can also ask it some random questions like
basically everyday things that you want sometimes like if you need
help with your homework, you wanna know some questions like,
"Hey Alexa, what is 5+2 x 3
÷ 4²
the answer is 5 + 9/4 x ²
Ok, so its pretty smart,
and I just asked it a random equation
but uh, its pretty smart and it can answer
many of your questions.
Right here are the buttons, this is the mute,
Volume up, Volume down, I'm guessing this is to
pause it or something,
and this is the mute button, so if you don't
want her to listen to you,
you can just press that button.
And then, ok, so this is a button where
say you don't wanna start it with your voice,
and say "Alexa",
then you can just press this button
here, and it will turn it on for you,
and you can just talk to her. So thats pretty cool.
That's pretty much it for this video, I hope you enjoyed, and comment
down below if you have a Alexa, or a Echo Dot
or if you have a
Echo at your house,
and thats it for todays video,
and Bye!!! 💗
