Customer Ratings & Reviews

this was a gift that was loved by everyone. works great for my elderly dad who can just sit in his recliner and ask out loud whatever it is he wants to know like weather Bears score...how to do whatever...easier than trying to figure out how to use the computer. you won't be sorry you bought this.

Alexa is able to understand what I am saying most of the time. Though not always able to provide an answer depending on what you ask. It is possible for the Echo Dot to learn more skills, which can expand what you ask it. The microphones can pick up your voice using a normal speaking volume and can work from a good distance away.

The echo is great for smart devices, intercom communication in the house and chatting with friends outside the home.

I have been impressed with the echo dot. I didn't have a lot of expectations going it, but it has been so much more helpful and entertaining than I thought it would be. It has a decent speaker, and it has great speech recognition. It obviously learns your speech patterns and gets better at understanding what you're saying.

Gift for a friend and my daughter. Not hard to pair devices and apps but not so easy for new comers. Speakers are with basic sound quality nothing much to expect at least from the echo dot

Didn't realize I was missing out before getting one. This works perfect and hooks up great to my Bluetooth speakers.

I have 4 Echo Dots, my primary reason for buying them was for “whole house” music. They work very well controlling lights (Wemo) and my thermostat (Nest). The “drop in” feature (intercom) works great. It hears commands very well however general knowledge is limited. I wouldn’t recommend using the built speaker to listen to music but if you use Bluetooth or aux out and your portable speaker it sounds pretty good. I will buy another if needed.

Love the device. Had a small issue setting up because of multiple emails and wifi networks for my household but no biggy. Plenty loud enough to hear responses. I get descent sound because i placed mine in the backside of a display cabinet where it hidden but resonates the sound. Once in a few responses i get i didnt understand but that might be the acoustic of cabinet. My five year old even loves to say good morning and night to the device because it replies to him.

Purchased the Echo Dot for our home last year, and we really enjoyed and found the product useful. For Christmas this past year, we took advantage of the sales, and purchased two more as gifts. We have feedback from both friends confirming their enjoyment of the Dot as well. Fun Product that get's regular updates.

This is fun to play with. I like listening to the radio a lot and can easily ask to play my station. I've also used it for timers and various other activities based on what is recommended.

What a great product for small $$$. Does many things, including turning on my lights, moving the thermostat up/down.

Very handy to have around. Can ask it about the weather, what time it is and it can play music you want to hear.

Great product and easy to use! Actually listens to you

I gave the dot to a friend and his wife as a house warming gift. Its the perfect gift for folks who have everything.

I bought this for my Mom for her birthday because she loved my Echo. The features that work great are music applications especially if you have Amazon Prime. It is easy to sync a speaker to stream music. There are so many things you can do with it. My kids use it to check their math homework. Allows them to double check for mistakes. Wikipedia access allows them to get definitions on words or subjects they aren't familiar with. Overall this is a great product.

was a great deal and love the Echo products. The dot is very nice to move around with the options you can add to it.

Cheape, good ,it helps a lot in the house and it's loud

I bought this for my 9 year old and he loves it. It tells him bedtime stories at night and helps with math homework.

This is an excellent item that is easily used by everyone in the household. Plays music, serves as a dictionary etc.

No complaints. The sound on the dot form factor isn’t great but it is functional to have dispersed around the house.
