Customer Ratings & Reviews

Sounds beautiful and pairs easily with my other one for a studio setup.

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.

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.

This is a great product that despite being the largest of its type it is compact enough to mesh in the background. Great product that integrates nicely with my older Echo.

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.

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.

Amazon smart speakers look and sound great! Smart purchase!

I have been a user of the Alexa devices for years and I decided to upgrade the one in my living room and was surprised by the difference. The sound quality is noticeably different and far superior. Also, this is cuter than the old tower style. I definitely recommend.

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...

Blends with any decor. Great sound. Easy to use.

So easy to setup, and it has become a part of the household daily use!!

You cannot go wrong with this little and still sound device

I enjoy my echo dot. I have two paired together as speakers and they do great. Love the sound. So far no issues!

Outstanding sound quality. Super easy to setup. Highly recommend. Works alone or in unison with a other devices. I have 3 different devices all working in alone or in unison for a complete downstairs speaker system that sounds great.

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!

I love this speaker, I have one so I bought this for my parents

I am so happy with this Amazon speaker it’s loud enough to fill a room the Alexa app makes it so easy to adjust the EQ for it love it it’s loud and full of bass ❤️

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

The sound is exceptional especially after a few tweaks from my IPhone. The response is much much better than my echo dot 2nd generation. Only complain, I wish the power cord was longer .

upgraded from the Echo dot. Way better sound and bass response with a much bigger footprint. Great unit.
