Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the superb sound quality and ease of use of the Echo (3rd Gen) Smart Speaker with Alexa. Many appreciate its compact size and straightforward setup process, while some find the bass a bit heavy. A few users mention challenges with wireless connectivity and the lack of a built-in battery.

    Out of the box the unit did not accurately understand voice commands. Amazon sent a replacement and replacement was more defective than the one I had purchased. After four hours with tech support, the agent hung up leaving me two non working echoes, (because he un-registered both of them causing them not to work at all), and now my echo dots were not functioning properly and the agent just ended the phone call. I spent the next two hours calling Amazon a total of three times getting the app, echo dots to work with the promise of sending out a second replacement. Six hours of total frustration and still no working echo device. Waiting to see how the second replacement works and then I will update this review.

    Bought this device in June to control my Lifx lights at my home and early January the speaker itself stopped working. The device still listens to commands but cannot make any noise. It worked great prior, just disappointed in the quality.

    Product malfunctions sometimes. It acts like it wants to work, but sometimes it blinks off and on. Would return it, but Best Buy said the 14 day window has closed. Bummer !!

    App is poorly written. Not user friendly. Keeps every word you speak to the device unless you explicitly delete the conversation. Wrong at every level.
