Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought 2 of these as holiday gifts for two different couples. Both of them mentioned it worked great. Had to be a little tech savvy to get started but otherwise no major problems.

Our daughter loves her Echo Dot! It's funny listening to the questions she asks but Alexa is great with answering her questions. I would definitely recommend this item to friends!

Bought this to make my Sonos Play 5 smarter. After getting an echo my Sonos speaker wasn't getting much use. Paid with the dot I now find myself using my Sonos speaker daily again.

Had to wade through the beginning of not quite knowing how to talk with Alexa and connect with other apps but now that we know, we're buying another one for the back of the house!

The Dot can be used with multiple systems and is user friendly & adapts with the various skills that Amazon & independents develop for the system. Extremely powerful mic system can capture utterances from a good distance so be careful what you say ;)

Echo Dot is a great little unit to use in rooms where your larger echo can’t hear you. It has great voice recognition and is able to perform all the commands as the Echo

My kids gave this to their brother for his birthday. He was so excited to receive it and has enjoyed using it. It has replaced his radio and alarm clock. Easy to use and set up.

This product is a helpful device that is easy to use and easy to set up. It syncs with the Internet very quickly and is a handy device getting quick internet information and music.

Christmas, I got one of these for pretty much every household in the family, and the feedback from that was very good. So I decided to treat myself. I haven't got fully into it, yet, but even at this stage I see the Dot as a very useful device. Alexa's language skills are excellent from the start. She even understands me when I don't have my teeth in. The basics - lists, time, weather, alerts, reminders, and the like - are excellent. Delving a bit into the apps (skills in Echo-speak), tweeting, texting, calling, and I assume, somewhere, emailing look like they're going to be useful and save time. I don't listen to a lot of music, but I'm looking forward to being read to. What I've found disappointing so far is that Alexa doesn't seem to know much. I've had "I don't know" to the few questions I've asked. Overall, a very fine and useful machine that I'm looking forward to exploring further.

Got this for my mom for Christmas. It isn’t nearly as loud as some speaker/assistants that are comparable in size. She likes to play her music on it but in my opinion it’s just about as loud as a phone speaker. Either way my mom enjoys it.

I initially started with a single Dot. Then added 2 more. And then 2 full size Echos. Great for in-house intercom using 'drop-in'. Then I found out I could use these to control my home automation system. Bonus! And this week Amazon released multi-room audio. Yes folks, for under $50 an Echo Dot will allow you to have multi-room audio, in sync, through out your house. IMHO the Dot, with it's aud-out, has now surpassed the Echo in terms of usefulness based on the aux-out feature alone. 'Alexa play KIRO 710 on upstairs' will get the Mariners or Seahawks game playing through the first floor of my house. Too cool!

My boyfriend loves this thing. It's more of a toy for him. He asks it random questions just to hear what it comes up with. Does work well to play music.

This was a great addition to our echo family. Our son gets a kick out of controlling the living room lights from his room. He uses the alarm and timer functions religiously.

Great addition to your Alexa based house. Not great for music but they tell you that up front. Easy to setup and allows you to extend voice recognition throughout your home.

Very easy set up. Fun device! Love audible books while I'm getting ready for work. Alec's wake up call alarm was fun for a couple of weeks. Just keep finding new ways to enjoy.

I used this Amazon dot as an intercom with another Amazon Echo... It works great

Really neat little divice. Bought it for my son after his sister got the larger version. He loves to use it for music. I need to figure out if it has any parental controls though.

The speaker is weak when playing music. It would be nice if it was rechargeable.

Pretty neat to use. Real quick to answer. Gets hung up sometimes, but still nice

this a great addition if you already have speakers and are looking for a voice activated smart device to control your home. works great. very happy with my purchase from best buy.
