Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Echo Dot Max is basically a tiny wizard with way bigger sound than it has any right to have, noticeably snappier Alexa+, and it actually makes your “smart home” act smart instead of just blinking at you in confusion. Is it truly “MAX” in every universe? Depends on your room (and your expectations). But for most people it’s a slick little speaker that’ll fill a space, boss your lights around, and casually upgrade your daily routine while you pretend you’re not impressed.

There is nothing like Alexa. I am slowly starting to learn via Alexa plus, when I am home and not working. The results when I ask her, something is truly amazing. It gets my life going and not having to stop and look something up. The new conversations that I have with her compared to the old it’s like having an old friend in the room, and chitchatting away. It is learning me and I am learning her! There is nothing like this.

Listening capability WAY better, sound is louder and, bass is a lot stronger.

Very helpful. Can do ANYTHING you wish for. Very futuristic.

Sound quality is great it also gets very loud. Small foot print so takes up minimal amount of room.

Don’t let the “Dot” in the name deceive you…this thing is a little powerhouse. Have it in a corner of my spacious basement and I can hear audio/music perfectly. Also love using it as the “soundbar” for the fire stick on my outdoor TV. No need to get the “new” Echo Studio, that is garbage compared to the first-gen Studio, and nowhere near the value that the Dot Max is. It’s positioned as the middle of the line echo (though it’s not advertised as such) and certainly performs above that tier. The only thing I don’t love is that the light ring doesn’t fully illuminate in response to voice activation. It will do two small beams on the sides, so it’s harder to see whether it’s active from a distance or from an angle. That’s the only thing. Overall, absolutely great Echo and the best one that doesn’t have a touch screen. I got it on sale for $99, awesome value there, but at regular price it is still a great deal.

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy the Echo Dot Max was to install — up and running in just a few minutes. The room-filling sound is impressive for its size, and it's become a great little smart home hub. I also picked up the Amazon American Music Standard subscription to go with it, and the combination has been fantastic. Overall, very pleased with this purchase and would recommend it.

Awesome, as always. Love Alexa over Siri but still can't explain why. Playing audio/music on this device is amazing and am in awe of the power it projects. Rarely see a Siri when visiting friend's homes.

Love this Echo Dot Max, easy to configure, Alexa retains your music preference. Quick response at my request. I can take to any location within the WiFi area. Great sound for such a small hub. Happy I purchased it.

As Alexa runs our household through reminders, alarms, timers, grocery and to do lists, etc I decided to add another one. I wasn’t aware that the Echo Dot had changed, but bought this newer model. We love it for the most part. The sound quality is definitely fuller. The only thing we don’t like that we have noticed so far is that because of the design, we can’t see from all angles of the room if there is a notification, as the lighted ring is on one side of the unit. Other than that, we love it and Alexa is in charge of this house in many rooms. lol.

This was a step up from my older echo dot and I immediately noticed the enhanced sound. Well worth the extra cost.

Great sound quality and fast response, paired it with the tv and other devices seamlessly!

Built very well. Good weight.. good design. Only thing is if you want to listen to music.. music stations are free. But if you want to ask to play a certain song. You need to subscribe to Amazon music

This Alexa speaker is amazing. The sound quality is great & it only cost $100!

I have bought many different Amazon echo devices. This is the best one that I bought so far. The microphones pick up better than the others. The sound, for the size, is great.

Better sounding, looks sleeker. Started using alexa around the house, need more alexa devices to complete the experience. Definitely happy with purchase.

Sound better then old one i like listening music with alexa

Great sound for the size. Can be placed anywhere without losing sound quality

We upgraded from the first version of Alexa to this model. The upgrade was easy, the voice recognition and sound are superior. We can even play classical music for our dog to soothe her while we are gone.

I am absolutely thrilled with my Amazon Echo Dot Max! It has exceeded my expectations in so many ways. The sound quality is remarkably clear and rich, making it perfect for both listening to music and enjoying podcasts. The intuitive design makes it incredibly easy to use, and the voice control is incredibly responsive. Overall, it's a fantastic device, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an excellent smart speaker.
