Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love the dot, just want more items around the home to control with it. I really want the Sonos integration which I have been able to program throwing together some code found on the web, but this would be difficult for the average user. It is easy to create skills and makes turning a room of lamps on and off super easy.

FAMILY LOVES THIS DEVICE. WE USE IT FOR ENTERTAINMENT.

Got another one for my dad because i like it so much!!

Ok I love this thing! I hear my news everyday, listen to music, it reads me my kindle books, plays ocean sounds at night when I'm going to sleep, can make a shopping list and that is just a few things I love about the Dot

We purchased this Echo Dot as a gift so we haven't actually seen it in operation, but the recipients report that they are having a blast with it. I can't wait for them to demonstrate what they have learned to do with it!

Very good looking piece with outstanding sound quality

Ok, maybe she isn't my bff when I need someone to help me move furniture or something like that, but I'm finding Alexa to be a handy thing to have around :D She tells me the time, turns my smart lights on and off, and even gave me a weather report the other day when I wasn't sure if I should wear my snow boots or if I was safe with my usual sneakers. I'd give her a full 5 stars but even though I try to always speak clearly she still sometimes misunderstands me, plus I have discovered she has a language all her own that may be compatible with mine but is not as flexible (creating additional misunderstandings). And, although the Dot is not particularly expensive, I find that my life is fairly uncomplicated and so I don't actually talk to her much except for the lights, and the occasional other question I would normally just Google (but Alexa enables me to be lazy and not even crack open a browser). I suspect she will become more valuable the longer we live together, if I give our relationship time to fully blossom and really learn her potential. ;)

Works as it is supposed to. Well designed but I wish they would make Alexa smarter. She currently isnt very helpful with questions. Some are obvious and should be easy to answer. Works great to turn on/off lights and to play music on demand, set timers/alarms, etc. Hoping they keep improving it with over the air updates.

Works well with other smart devices and fun fun to use.

Like all of the features offered by device. Fun to use.

Honestly the only thing that this can do kind of well is setting alarms and timers. I got one of those thinking that I would be able to answers some questions but it never seems to know the answers. I recently had the chance to use a Google home mini (which is the same price as an echo) and I was amazed at how many times it was Able to do what I wanted. The only reason I could possibly imagine that you would get this over a Google home mini is because it has a headphone jack and the home mini doesn't. But even then there are ways of connecting speakers to the home mini without a headphone jack not to mention that you can't do a pretty simple DIY headphone jack for the mini.

Great piece of tech for the money. Connects to my Hue bulbs to allow for voice control when I am not near my Siri-enabled devices. Hooked to a portable speaker via the headphone aux cable and produces great sound. iHeart radio offers free access to my local FM channels, so this is a good option when not near a receiver.

Love this Echo purchase! Speaker is sufficient enough for use in one room; however, if listening to music in another room I would add an additional Bluetooth speaker for better sound . Overall a great gift for the holiday.

A lot more useful than I had expected! Between asking Alexa the weather, to set alarms and using it as a speaker I’ve highly enjoyed the echo dot. For the sale price of $20, I highly recommend this.

Useful product , very helpful for reminder , education

not a necessary item but it is fun to set up and have.
