Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great product and everyone loves using it to play music, listen to news, look up information, and even play games. Once you get used to it you may miss it when it's not available.

Alexa controlled our Christmas lights and tree lights with a simple voice command. She played Christmas music from several different sources, So glad she was a part of our holidays

This thing can do so many cool things and the price is fantastic. Made great stocking stuffer's this year! I still learn something new everyday and the home automation capabilities are awesome.

I bought on black Friday do $30 and I'm using it together with the Amazon tab and it's great with listening to music and alarm really great. Really wish I bought the echo when it was on special

I purchased the Echo Dot for my husband for Christmas and he absolutely loves it! We use Alexa to find out sports' scores, random trivia questions, weather and to play music from our favorite station.

We put these in almost every room...we can control so many things with them. Also fun to tell the downstairs dot to play Good Day Sunshine in our teenager's room to wake him up. ;) Easy to use

I have used this product in my home office to ask for news weather. I have an Echo in the bedroom. The only difference is that the speaker is not as good. It is very portable as well. I have taken it with me on some of my travels. I have used it as an alarm clock and for weather reports and news. It is helpful to do so when getting ready before a meeting/conference to get the information handsfree. It was a good value at around $50, but has been advertised on sale for about $40. There are skills that it can do that are also interesting, such as Geo Quiz, Tonight Show Skill that will play the opening monologue.. It is impressive that you can ask for music to be played from just a partial lyric.

Love the integration with my fire stick. Could use some minor improvements when controlling lights

Amazing invention. My entire house is smart and controlled by this little Alexa. Thermostats, lights, ring door bell, radios, garage door, etc. a must have. There is no stopping AMZN.

We brought one of these a month ago, my older son loved it. The echo dot, he uses it all the time.

I bought this to see what all the hype was about... now I love it. Every morning it tells me the news and weather, and in the evening its used to turn on the gazebo led strips and to play triva quizes.

It's more of a novelty in our house. I bought it for the alarm clock. It's awesome that it plays Pandora when it goes off instead of an annoying looping sound. We have 3 of them.

The Echo Dot Black works great. I also have an Echo Dot white. I have occasionally had them confused. I renamed one of them Echo instead of Alexa and the confusion went away.

Overall nice product. Works best in smaller areas. Only drawback is sound clarity with max volume.

This speaker is super useful. It's perfect for just about everything. I've told everyone I know about this. Most of my friends and family got one almost immediately after I told them about it.

The dot is extremely responsive to voice commands. It is the least expensive echo but has a feature that the largest echo does not. Because the large echo contains a speaker, Amazon removed the ability to pair it with an external bluetooth speaker. Since I use the dot to play music through a receiver via bluetooth or a bluetooth speaker that feature was important to me. Lots of fun and silly things to do with the dot(and all other Alexa echo items) so it is recommended for family use and individual use alike. The only reason I deducted one star was because there are a lot of questions that Alexa cannot answer as of now. It is weaker in this regard than doing a google search. But at this price point it is well worth it if you have an external speaker or system to connect it to. It also has an audio out jack if you do not have a bluetooth speaker. By the way it interfaces with some home automation products which is great. It is important to note that with no external speaker connected the sound quality is much weaker.

This is just a novelty until you actually start incorporating smart home devices. When combined with Nest, August, Smart Lights, Chamberlain, and multi-device audio, these devices are awesome.

Great product. Bought for my niece and nephew after having one myself. They love it. They use it for Sports scores, playing music, asking Alexa questions. If you have Prime it's a no-brainer to get it.

With Alexa voice control, Echo dot is a must have piece of technology for your smart house. It doesn’t have all the enhance functions like the more expensive models but it does the job.

I love this thing. We use it for music in the kitchen all the time and just for general use purposes like asking it questions and such. It is fantastic and I'm thinking about buying more for the house.
