Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very useful, we use our echo dot to control our smart devices (lights, thermostat, speakers), set timers and as an intercom to other echo dots in our home. Sometimes I feel Alexa is not as "smart" as other AIs but the dot is compatible with so many smart devices in our house that we stick with it.

works pretty well most of the time. Design/look needs to be updated now.

I have a Google-enabled smart speaker and the Amazon dot. The sound quality is much less on the dot, but it has different functions from the Google-enabled smart speaker, so it fills a void.

The Echo Dot does everything that Amazon said it would It worked great for getting a couple of great deals on Prime Day that were only available to Alexa users. Also useful for controlling devices in my home.

I have the first generation and got this one now, it is the same thing the only thing the changes is the shape and color other than that it works exactly the same as 1st gen.

We had bought an Echo on sale and lived it. So when I saw a one day deal at Best Buy for the Dot, I purchased it for another area. Love it. A few minor problems but we're learning more about it as we use it.

I don't want to remember what life was like before Alexa. I have found a plethora of fun uses for this very clever n helpful service. It's providing my house with its own soundtrack. I recommend it to anyone.

This new technology is fun and works pretty well. However, still a few bugs! Example.... if Alexa is anywhere near a television set, it will sometimes activate depending on what is being said on TV. - All in all, this technology is fun and very useful in answering many questions.

OK so I am a freak about these. They just work! We have 6 of these 2 echo's and a tap. So I would say we are advanced level users here. These get smarter over time and will learn the way you talk and ask question.

So I have two of these and 20 hue light's. It makes setting the light levels really easy, you can talk between both and I use it for a daily news brief.. but buy on sale not full price

Always wanted to try out Alexa and the Echo Dot allowed me to do just that! She listens really well and I very seldom have to repeat myself. Turning my Wemo switches off with my voice is some next level stuff.

I wanted another device to connect to Alexa in other rooms. I put this one on my patio and am able to play Sirius XM radio thru it. Find a good price as they go up and down ALOT!

I have had my Echo Dot for a few months and it works great for what I use it for--playing music, setting alarms, getting the weather, answering some questions. My only issue with it is that it won't play my playlists from Spotiify, that is, the playlists from iTunes that were uploaded to Spotify.

I was a little confused when I first tried to use since no manual is provided. Once I new what I was doing it was very helpful and is great for listening to music. I can't believe how many genres it provides.

I love Alexa! We mainly use her turn lights on and off, control our thermostat, play music and for the shopping list. My grandfather also likes to talk to her like she's a friend. Always makes for a great laugh!

Bought as a gift for my beastie and her family after buying one for my husband for Christmas. Not only has my husband enjoyed taking it with him when he travels for work, but our kids enjoy it too.

I'm hoping this solves some issues with controlling a fishnet hopper in s room where IR control is tough. It works well for basic info - how did the tigers do? This year the answer is likely that they lost.

Fun little splurge with constant new skills being added. Product itself is great with the exception of when changing the 'trigger' name from Alexa to something else and the voice recognition doesn't pick it up. Changed it back to Alexa and it's humming along just fine now. Fun little gadget.

Bought three for each person in the home. Setup is a breeze. The app interface is user friendly. I recommend placing device in a spot with little echo, no pun, as it seems to not pick up commands due to echo.

This is a great introduction to AI and Smart Technology. I have played with Siri, Cortana, and Google voice and the combination with the Amazon eco system was a win for me - looking forward to advances next year.
