The Dot is too quiet, I bought the Echow Show 3 days after the Dot, it has 2 full speakers. The Google home mini came to me first. it has a brighter voice. Both of them are twitchy from time to time. Now I'm waiting for Google Home Display. Want smarthome with Alexa and Rm plugin only works with Dot. Echo show doesn't work unless a Dot is also on the same network (and of course a cheap smartphone as a server or an android tv box). In general I would say: Assistants without a display are out...Because of a dispute with Google, Echo show has no Youtube, but access to Dailymotion and 2 other portals via bing. The Google Home Display will have Youtube in it. The problem in general is that I can't select my Swiss location with Alexa, at least not with the Echo Show. I haven't tried it with the Dot yet.
