Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had purchased the main Amazon Echo unit and have been using it for several months now. Amazon then released the DOT and I said who needs this when I have Alexia? Well it is an extension of Alexia and can be put in other rooms doing the same operations that Alexia does. I can connect this to my stereo system and have it play music since I am a Prime member. I'm thinking about getting another especially when it is on sale for $39 and putting it in my bedroom.

We love the ability to schedule an alarm and choose a song to wake up our kids too. Also like being able to “drop in” on them for quick questions vs yelling up the stairs

This technology is great, it is the most versatile piece of eguipment that I have bought in the last five years. I was so impressed with the first one that I bought this one for a gift.

A great companion to my Echo. Very easy setup. Easy to pair with a Bluetooth speaker for better sound.

Neat product to ask about the weather, play music, etc. Nice compact size but wished speaker was a bit louder. You can connect via Bluetooth to an external speaker for better sound.

Alexa comes in very handy when i need a quick answer to a trivia question or know the weather or play my music completely hands free. And does not take up too much space.

Always listening, if that bothers you stop reading, but no monster tube clashing with your decor. I've got one in every room and the Dots ability to identify the nearest one is amazing.

small but powerful, sturdy, and smart ! do as good as regular Amazon Echo can with less than half the price!

I purchased this out of curiosity, and I ended up liking the echo dot a lot. I can get to listen to music and check the weather on the fly. When I'm sleep I sometimes put if on rainforest noises or crickets chirping. My son loves it two asking what's 1+1 even though he knows the answer. The only issue I have is I wish they would only remember your voice, because my son is only 8 and he thinks its funny when I'm listening to music and he says echo, music off.

This is great to have at beside for music, audible books, alarms, and anything else you need.

Sound was pour and not very responsive. I had to practically yell at it so I returned it. I am now trying echo second generation. Speaker is much better . Alexa doesn’t do all that much and still not all that responsive

I have 3 of them all hooked up to Bluetooth speakers. Great for controlling smart devices playing music etc.

Amazon's Echo Dot with Alexa is supportive as it is innovative. It is highly responsive to any voice and utilizes a whole set of skills (voice commands) to perform various events, such as play music, switch on or off lights, explain things off the web, tell you the time and date, and much more--she even develops new knowledge almost every day through the Alexa app. Definitely worth the purchase.

Echo dot has all the functions of the larger version- if you have a large space or want to hear throughout the house upgrade for better speakers or use your own through Bluetooth.

My 13 year old daughter needed a new alarm clock and on a whim, I purchased this as an alternative. As an alarm clock, it works beautifully. Instead of fumbling with dials and buttons, she simply says "Alexa, wake me up at ..." Of course, it does so much more: It's become her speaker of choice; plays games; gives her the weather report every morning; and Alexa even helps with homework! I bought the Echo Dot on sale for $40 and it was well worth the price.

Who knew smart homing could be so easy and fun. Easy to use. Easy to connect devices. And plays music

Always listening, if that bothers you stop reading, but no monster tube clashing with your decor. I've got one in every room and the Dots ability to identify the nearest one is amazing

OK I am a little embarrassed to admit that we have 3 alexa devices in our home. We have one original alexa and 2 echo dots. (and I have purchased a dot for my sister as well) All devices work with SmartThings and control my smart bulbs. I also enjoy the convenience of asking Alexa to set up a timer, a reminder, turn off/on lights, what the weather is etc... I think they make wonderful gifts and I love all 3 of mine.

I bought this echo dot for myself. Easy set up on the app. Works great. Connected easily to my wifi. Hooked it to a Bluetooth speaker and Listened to Christmas music all day. Love it.

I don't care if Amazon is listening to everything I say (my conversations are pretty boring). I have gone all-in with the voice controlled lighting and AV systems in my house and while nobody really needs any of this stuff this gizmo works perfectly as a controller. Some people have complained that it isn't very loud but in my opinion if you think it should be you don't get the DOT. The Dot is a supplemental item, not the core of your sound system. It is plenty loud enough for my bedroom and most other rooms of my house. If it wasn't loud enough I would output the audio to a bigger better speaker, but I don't find that necessary.
