Customer Ratings & Reviews

After having the 3rd generation of the Echo Dot, which I absolutely loved. I decided I wanted to go for something that could fill a room with sound. The Echo does absolutely that at a great price, and it sounds leagues better than the evenly priced JBL Flip 6.

This Alexa Echo works very well as all of them besides the soun is great

Love this! The sound quality is deep. The technology to connect to my home system was easy and gave me the ability to use it all when I’m not home.

Good sound quality and excellent interaction with kids.

The Echo 4th Gen with premium sound delivers impressive audio quality—rich bass, clear vocals, and great volume for its size. Alexa responds quickly and integrates well with smart home devices. Setup was easy. Only reason for 4 stars: occasional connectivity hiccups. Still a fantastic smart speaker for music and more!

I resisted buying Alexa and Echo devices for a long time, but the benefits of this product are that it includes the ZIGBEE HUB which can replace additional hubs for smart lights and other home smart devices. Our outdoor lights now are all "SMART" and have been scheduled to go on at dusk and off at dawn. It's great too if we're all out later than expected as the lights come on without us being at home on schedule. I'm using this now for more things than I expected. One of the most enjoyable features is the ability for the device to "READ" books out loud - I use the free LIBBY app that gives access to free books from libraries. My family lives together in a 3 story house. The other thing these devices have done is stopped us from either having to SCREAM to get each other or to use a telephone to call each other... now since we have a variety of Echo devices from the basement to the 3rd floor we can speak to each other with ease whenever. We can also use it to make a phone call - we haven't had an emergency use yet and hope not to, but it's nice to know that even if one of us is home alone we can always call each other, or the list of special contact numbers we've added to the list of important people to call. And the RADIO! If you know the call letters for any radio station in the world you can call it up and listen in the privacy of your own room, OR if we're together at dinner, we call call for music on a radio station or Pandora app to play. For a couple of us that really love to listen to music, we have two Amazon devices in our rooms so we get a STEREO effect. And on the first floor we created a "GROUP" so we have the option of playing music on just one device OR we can play for the "first floor group" to have surrounding sound on the entire floor. We got rid of so many extra devices as this has replaced a few. Like radios and alarm clocks. We put one of these on each floor, and one of the tiny Amazon FLEX (smaller than a pack of cigarettes and not as good a sound) in the basement.

The sound is powerfull small speaker but has good sound

Having purchased two Echo's prior to this I can say the sound quality of this model is far superior. I put this one bedside for a wake up alarm, news weather and sports. It also lulls me to sleep when it is time to retire for the day. Pretty awesome gadget, making plans to pick the "studio" version in the near future.

Surprisingly loud. I didn't expect this speaker to be clear and loud. I originally purchased to use with my Tapo cameras so I can view the feed on my tvs

This is my first full size Echo. I have a 2nd gen Echo Dot and a 3rd gen Echo Dot, so that’s really what I’m comparing this to. So far I’ve been a little unimpressed with it. The sound quality is good and it gets nice and loud, plus I love the new spherical shape. But as far as interacting with Alexa, this is where I have some trouble. If I don’t speak her name clearly and loud enough, she won’t recognize me. With my 3rd gen Echo Dot, I was able to say her name very casually (like a loose conversation with a buddy) and she would hear me — even when speaking at a low volume level and listening to loud music. Maybe that’s due to the new non-360 design? Also, I’ve had some trouble with the Alexa app recognizing my Samsung TV. I was able to turn it off with my Echo Dot, but haven’t been able to do so with the Echo yet. That being said, I mainly just use it to listen to music when I’m in my room. Not sure if that’s worth even the $80 sale price...

Great sound. THe premium is a huge step up in sound from the regular echo

I enjoy it because it can be moved to wherever you want. It's perfect on the sound.

Love this! Real premium sound! In the process of putting together a playlist of my favorite songs. Making Reminders are easy. Alexa reminds me and I also receive a reminder on my IPad. Can't wait to discover all the skills we can teach her to do. Great price and great quality. Love that it is small and does not take up a lot of room. Looks great with any decor. Very powerful and clear sound. Would definitely recommend! It is great to just ask her play any music, then save them to your favorites. Great invention!

Great for indoor and outdoor play. The sound d is amazing. Very easy to set up. User friendly not high tech. Average person can set up easily.

Great version of Alexa. I have many of them but this is the best in the lower end models. Definitely value for money!

I've grudgingly allowed Alexa devices into the home; couple of dots at first. I got hooked on linking my Apple Music to the Alexas. As a man who remembers cassette tapes, I'm still impressed being able to play anything from George Winston to Captain Beefheart by just saying it. This unit is loud. Provides a deep bass. It doesn't look out of place in the room. The equalizer controls are very basic, this is not a Sonos experience but it's absolutely worth the spend.

Bought two. Hung upside outside under the soffit. Installed second one and it automatically asked to pair and now they work in stereo. Nice and loud outside

The fourth-gen Echo smart speaker is our pick for the best value. The modern smart speaker takes on a minimal aesthetic as a fabric-covered orb, offering up sleek looks for your smart home. It offers rich sound for a small speaker and acts as a hub for my smart home devices.

I love the sound quality on the ECHO 4th generation. The mic is also great. I could be on the other side of the house ( on the same floor) and the echo still hears me.

Excellent product, great sound, awesome bass, great size and very responsive. Highly recommend
