Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy to setup. Lots of fun for the whole family. It gives something to all of us..

This product was in stock and on sale. Set up is easy and convenient.

I know that there are mixed reviews for Apple's digital assistant, Siri, but I've never had anything but good things to say about the lady from Down Under (OK, so I chose the female Australian voice...sue me). She does everything I need a digital assistant to do, and she normally does it flawlessly. Sure, a hiccup here and there, but I can ask for music from my iTunes library on demand, call up a podcast, have texts read to me while I drive, respond to said texts without taking my eyes off the road, and pretty much ask any inane question I need answered, when I need it answered. That's my Siri experience. Alexa was great. The Echo Dot is tiny and connects to the input on a mega stereo system. Alexa has tons of skills to enable. She can hear from far away and call up anything that's in my Amazon ecosystem of media. But do you know what? The bells and whistles did nothing for me. She didn't add anything to my world that my Apple TV, iPhone, and Siri can't already do for me. So, I'm kinda thinking the Echo and Alexa are average. To top it all off, Alexa can't dial a number, send a text, or read my email. Siri can. In my book, Siri, and Apple, win.

Great little device and the kids love interacting with it and asking it questions.

I started off buying one of the Echo dots, but ended up giving two as gifts for my family. I also purchased and configured a LIFX bulb to go with it. The Echo is responsive to the commands and we rarely repeat ourselves. It was also handy to set timers for giving medicine to our daughter.

We gave one to each of two boys, ages 12 & 9. Their interests are totally different so the Echo is satisfying each to the max. It keeps them totally occupied without fighting and is another source as a study aid. They had all the toys except this one. It is a hit every day!

Bought this for my daughter. Fun to play games, gather info when needed.

After so many people have admired my smart devices (Echo Dot and Google Home), I decided these would make perfect gifts. This purchase was a birthday gift to a family member. I think the black (mine) looks better but white was all that was available on the day I made this purchase.

Yeah....we fell in love with this thing so quick the first night we bought two more. One for the bedroom, and one for the kitchen. We also recently bought a Google Home as Alexa isn't great at answering general info type questions but integrates with our home automation better than Google.

I didn't liked that if I asked her something she never knew anything and it sat there most of the time. So I return it.

Received this for Christmas. Still getting used to it, so o will update more soon.

What can I say I love the ease of use and how convenient they make life

I have an echo on the main floor and a dot on the second floor and basement. All share the same commands except for Harmony. Each dot controls a separate Harmony hub and works perfectly. Lights are controlled by the dots thru an Insteon hub from Smarthome. Very happy with the results.

Alexa is a convenient way to stream music and automate some things at home. Is it perfect, no, but it is fun for my kids to pick their own music and it is nice to be able to ask some questions that I would normally ask my wife to research while I am doing the dishes or cleaning up.

They love it! I gave it 4 stars because the setup isn't as easy as my show was.

The echo dot is a great product to have. Have not had any problems but still learning. As an example, asked to play some R&B music....told me "sorry, I can't help you with that". I have uploaded apps like read a book. Interesting piece of electronic. Good for answering simple questions.

Bought this for use in the basement. Will be pairing it with a bluetooth speaker soon.

This device I use for just about everything.. i plan on getting a few more..

This product has promise however, on too many occasions it has not connected with the Phillip lights even though I have a Philips hub. Additionally, it will say that Philips light is not responding to the turn on/turn off command; then after a 30-45 second delay the Phillip light actually turns on or off. Its a little frustrating.

I like this product! It gives you information on all topics and responds to all requests
