Customer Ratings & Reviews

I own both the Echo and Echo Dot. The dot serves its purpose as a cheaper way to add Alexa to every room in your house. Of course the speaker isn't as good as the bigger Echo, but it will do.

I bought this Amazon Echo Dot as a gift, because there was a promotional and I had rewards certificates. I love Echo Dots, so I not only buy them for myself but also for others as gifts. I particularly like to play music on the Echo Dots we have.

Alexa is a great way to add a fun assistant to your home. The Echo Dot is very cost-effective and easy to place out of the way. Doesn't have the speakers of the larger Echo, but there's no real distinction,

This is such a wonderful innovation. You can ask Alexa almost anything and she has the answer. Plus, so much wonderful music at your command. Connection via bluetooth to a quality speaker is instant. I love it!

I bring this whenever I travel. I think the sound could be better but I keep looking out for newer versions. I've bought these as gifts for friends and family members as well.

This was bought as a gift for someone else. I have not used this product.

Has all the smart home functionality of any of the larger models at a fraction of the price. if paired with a decent Bluetooth speaker it can essentially do everything the larger speakers can do.

I love these units. I have a few at home and one at work. I can control everything from anywhere in the house. Shopping list and to do lists are awesome. Pair this with some LIFX lights or Wemo switches and your set.

I purchased the Echo Dot to be the hub for my home automation. So far it has been flawless. I have light switches connected and Amazon Firestick. Great product to have. BTW, it also helps with my daughters homework.

I bought this product based on reviews and I am extremely happy with the performance. Best part is when my 3 years old son says "Alexa turn bedroom tv" and Alexa turn on his tv. He is super excited to use it. Thanks.

The upgraded performance from an upgraded CPU is noticeable right away. Still able to side load APKs within rooting. So loading streaming apps into it is a piece of cake. The new OS also now display side loaded apps onto the Amazon menu. Before you needed to go to Settings and Application to load and run them.

This is a great and fun smart speaker for the entire family. Everyone is using it everyday. It's not a 5-start item because of the sound quality for playing music. My echo dot is connected to a Bose speaker so I'm good. It appears that the 3rd generation echo dot may have fixed this issue.

This is a great buy. Especially if you can find a special promotion with 3rd edition coming out. It does everything we need - play music, read audible books, tells us news, etc. Only thing is the sound quality when you play music. My echo dot is connected to a Bose speaker and all is well.

We purchased this item for our 11 year old daughter for Christmas. She loves it but we like Siri a little more. It doesn't really answer questions like my daughter expected. I think we (parents)use it a little more!

Alexa is great for simple tasks and questions. I use it on a daily basis. More complex questions she can't answer which is odd since she is connected to the internet. 4 out of 5 stars just because the questions. Maybe they could make her learn so next time you ask the same question, she will have an answer?

I relied upon reviews and help I got in store from an associate. Told me how to complete my desired project and what was needed. T Echo dots performed as expected Based on this experience and price matching. I will automate my home with purchasing from Best Buy. In person personal service was the key

I purchased this as a gift for my mother and I thought it would be great for her since she is always forgetting things or in need of supplies when she is working on cakes. But my mom is not too tech savvy soo I think it overwhelms her to use the device. some practice, patience, and education is definitely needed.

I love this little gadget! Music, Jeopardy, changing the temperature in the house and keeps growing. My daughter even used it for spelling a word the other day...an amazing, but powerful little piece of technology!

This was a gift for our office White Elephant party. It was a huge hit. Everyone wanted it, and the guy who actually won it, has mentioned just how "awesome" this product really is. I'm glad it worked out.

I bought these as gifts but we have ha an Echo Dot for almost a year and use it every day. Like Siri for the living room. Kids use it to ask questions with good results. The only thing lacking is the music quality when streaming. Not terrible but definitely not as good as the tower that Amazon makes.
