Customer Ratings & Reviews

So between the app and the large number of integrated services you can get on the Echo, it's a pretty solid smart speaker. The Alexa assistant isn't perfect but works well enough. The addition of the electrical disconnect of the mic is the best addition. Sound is decent if you just want some music playing in the background while cooking or entertaining. The profile is one of the best features since it will fit in a small space.

I have a couple of other Dot devices from previous generations. This one definitely is louder and much more base. If feels more substantial in my hands too. Great for adding music to a room, or in my case I use it with my ring doorbell.

Once we got used to having an Echo, our kids begged to have one in their rooms. This device is perfect as it's easy to set up and fits perfectly in their rooms. Additionally, it's easy for them to move it from room to room or even plug it in outside while they're playing!

The Echo Dot (3rd Gen) is definitely a significant improvement tot he two earlier iterations of the Echo Dot family. The sound is louder and crisper, Alexa voice recognition and response is better, and the 3rd Gen Dot definitely, definitely looks way cooler than the earlier versions.

best assistent ever!! excellent as speaker to listening to music, great alarm, make my place smart with yale lock and my sengled lights alexa really help not falling asleep every morning for work, ask HER about the weather, play music or time while getting ready

I got this Dot device as the centerpiece of my smart home setup, and as a first time user of these voice assistants, I was really impressed. It does all the things you'd expect -- answering questions, setting timers and reminders, giving you weather info, etc. But linked to a Prime account, it also plays music on demand, perfect for those times when you just want to hear that one song. As a hub, it easily linked my Emerson Sensi thermostat, wifi lightbulbs, Sonos beam, and Wyze cameras (though as it doesn't have a display, it's unable to show actual footage). The sound quality is surprisingly good -- it really does fill the room with sound, and even has the (light) thumping of a subwoofer. I would consider getting multiple for different rooms in the house, to use as an intercom system but also an all-over sound system.

Excellent little Smart Speaker. It came as a free item with the purchase of a RING product. Gave it to my son who keeps it on his desk in his bedroom. Very easy to use, quite handy, and decent sound for a small room. He is enjoying it!

Was skeptical at first but than found out what you can connect with alexa. Hooked up all our lights In house with WiFi switches. Easy connect for radio or music. Tell Alexa to purchase things from amazon. Make shopping list, adjust thermostat.

I am a single mom and this a great tool for me. I can yell at Alexia and tell her to add items to my shopping list when I am cooking, etc. I can tell her to play music or turn my lights on and off if needed if I get in too much of a hurry or my hands are full.

My origanal Echo dots started to go bad.(I got a lot of use out of them). The 3rd generations were on sale. A little bit larger and a way better speaker. Great Christmas present also for those just starting to use the Alexa products

Without a doubt - it's quite an impressive creature. It's not pefect...but no tech is perfect... and I love tech. So... Amazon added whisper mode today. Experiencing that today - was one of those very special "wow" moments.... I called my friends to try out that new feature...and they all love it. It does much more than I expected. For quite a while I waited, as I thought "I have my iPhone and Siri...why do I need Alexa?" Well, I love my iPhone... and am still very happy I now have an echo dot. I don't have any complaints- just look forward to the continued advancements Amazon's Echo team is making with the device. The quality of the device is excellent - and the sound it puts out- for its size... really impressive. Sure.... But is it fun and convenient to have.... absolutely. Very glad I finally got one!

Love my echo Honestly it does make listening to music and making a grocery list so much easier and to set up is super easy as well

I was looking for a speaker for my garage and at first I wanted something bigger but then I saw this on sale and decided to give it a try. Good move on my part. Sounds great in the garage. I also put a range extender in my garage so there are no connectivity issues.

Just hooked up this bad boy to my network and am enjoying listening to music or turning off my fan, tv or lights with voice control. I just picked up a second one during black Friday and can ask Alex conversion amounts in the kitchen.

I absolutely adore this product. At night I ask Alexa to play Ocean Sounds and now I can’t sleep without it. I’m not sure if you’re worried that it won’t be loud enough because she goes pretty loud and she knows a chain of commands

We are Amazon Prime members in our home so we are loyal to their product line. I purchased the original Echo Dot last year but my daughter decided to take it to her room. I upgraded to the new Echo Dot and really like the new design and the sound quality. I use it in the kitchen.

It can hear you from far to take commands and does pretty good with listening. It makes life easier

I got this free one Christmas when I ordered two Echo Show devices. I got two free and I put one at my bedside and one in the bathroom. I listen to TuneIn radio when I get up. It picks up a local live radio station. I enjoy hearing the weather. It flashes yellow when an Amazon order is coming in too. It flashes yellow and warns me about bad weather coming up. We can make announcements all over the house using the iPhone or iPad. You speak into the Alexa app in communications and it will announce what you say immediately. It sends a transcript of your announcement to your phone app too. Sometimes the transcript is wrong and it’s funny itself what it says you spoke! One day I was sitting on the front porch and I announced using Alexa that there was a double rainbow outside after a rain shower. Everyone came outside to look. It is so handy!

Easy setup and simple use. I like that Alexa needs few words to understand commands. Not once have I been told “sorry I don’t know how to help with that” as other assistants have problems. Good speaker and sound for its size and price!

This is the second echo we own. It is easy to set up . We use it to play sirrusxm music a lot and as a reminder for things like a grocery list. Great item to have.
