Customer Ratings & Reviews

Have one in every bedroom in our house and the kids love being able to set their own alarms and timers. They love to listen to music by just asking and love to ask Alexa the weather and to tell them jokes.

Had trouble initially connecting to my Bluetooth speaker. Had to call customer service but they eventually got it working. Other than that no problems. The speaker is terrible, so unless you have A better speaker to connect it to I would look for something else sound wise. But overall I'm happy with the purchase.

Even though it was not meant for music, the sound quality can be better.

We already have the original Echo in the house and started adding the DOT to control varying sections of the house. The lack of a speaker is not a problem except for the line out option. This should have been a digital output instead of mono/stereo. The volume/sound quality suffers when connected to a receiver.

Paired with Amazon Echo, the Dot makes your home "smart" from room to room. The Echo and Dot make tasks easier and acquiring information simpler. If you're into next level tech, these devices are for you.

Have this hooked up to a Sonos Play 5 via line-in. It plays automatically through the speaker. The included Amazon music with prime (not the up charge) is more than enough for most music requests through the Echo.

We love using our Echo Dots in our house. The unit has all of the same features as the full size Echo minus the better speaker. The ability to use Alexa to turn on and off compatible wifi enabled products is great.

The Alexa is a fun little device it works well with home automation, but I feel this device is a little too young at the moment. I took off one start because without any smart devices in the home, this thing does what google and siri already do very well. I bought two of these and they are nice little devices.

Setup is very easy. I have it paired with a Smartthings Hub so Alexa can control Z-Wave light switches. Be aware that what you say to Alexa is stored in the cloud. You can review and delete anything that is stored.

So far we love it. We also bought smart lights and it makes getting home with full haves easy. Or when you are two tired to get out of bed to turn lights off! We are moving in may and will be getting a Nest next!

The amazon dot is as functional as the Amazon echo but in a slimline package. With the available battery that matches the profile of the Amazon dot, it becomes extremely portable as long as there's Wi-Fi available.

I actually don't make good use of this but I am not used to having this type of device...that said, it is pretty cool to have so much information at a verbal request. Well worth the money!

Sure, the Echo can answer questions and control connected devices, but for the most part I could already do that with apps on the smart phone. The most interesting facility, for me, was asking about products/pricing --but of course, that answered with the data from Amazon. (Good for them, who knows what for me)

I love my Echo Dot so much, I bought two more for other rooms in the house. It's fun to use and I really like that it allows me to use my Amazon Prime music a lot more. The only thing is that it seems to wake on it's own sometimes and is pretty sensitive to the TV in the family room. Overall though, we love it!

Surprisingly disappointing but don’t worry, this was the last of the poor-sounding echo dots. The third and 4th gen sound great and I find Alexa to be a better AI assistant than Siri.

This echo dot is a great thing to have in the home. The kids love it, it's educational and you can ask it any question you like as well as link it to your iTunes and have it play any artist, any genre, at anytime.

We have both in our house and I have to say the Echo Dot is a better unit for the money. And so many features included. And Alexa’s far field mic is very good at picking up instructions at good distance.

I originally received the Amazon Echo as a gift. Since then, I have purchased two dots. The dots function as well as the larger Echo, but lack the sound quality somewhat. To compensate for that I have paired each with a Bluetooth speaker, and now can enjoy music, podcasts, etc. on each level of our home.

The convenience of asking Alexa when your hands are full and can't check your phone or laptop is unsurpassed!!! Also the fact that I can now turn on/off lights without stumbling in the dark makes it super useful!!
