Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Dot was on sale --- $30. We wanted to have something simple for music and information. Alexa is good and was easy to set up. Now to learn all she can do.

Works just as described!!! I purchased this to use with my Smart Things products and control my lights etc. the speaker is actually really good for being small also.

This was a free item that came with the purchase a ring doorbell. I already had the ring alarm system and now I can arm and disarm by voice now.

Don't know how to review as it is an Xmas gift. CNET gave it good marks.

A key component to starting a Smart Home system is somehow getting the devices to work together. The Echo Dot is the most affordable and convenient way to control devices such as your smart thermostat and light together. By enabling different "skills" on the Dot, you can simply tell the Dot the increase the temperature or turn on your lights. Aside from controlling your smart devices, you can listen to music and order from Amazon. There is a lot this little device can do. I have bought 4 and placed them in key rooms in my house so that I can "talk" to the Alexa interface no matter where I am in my home.

Was, at first, skeptical about this item. But find it to be extremely useful and entertaining. So much so, that I purchased another one for use in my garage/workshop.

We bought this for my son's room so he can listen to music, set his own alarms and use all the other features Alexa provides. He has been very happy with it.

I purchased this item for a gift exchange and it was definitely the gift that was in high demand and everyone wanted to steal. Great product and great price.

She is so much fun, very helpful, fills my home with music but needs a hearing aid! Last night I hurt her feelings by scolding her for not responding when she was only 2 feet from my head. But when she does respond. She is the perfect housemate.

Amazon echo dot is a great amazon device. You can listen to music, get the wether forecast and even listen to a book.

We have other connected devices and this one was flawless to integrate into our ecosystem. My wife loves how easy it is to use and helps while hands are full or dirty.

easy to use and really responsive my voice commands, though I'm still learning the proper way to phrase things Alexa will recognize. So far, I really like the device

I use the Echo constantly- as a timer in the kitchen, weather information, NPR in the morning. My son uses it to check his math homework in the evening. Great device!

I have 3 dots around the house now and I’m slowly but surely turning this house into a smart home. Very easy to set up and use. Great price as well

This smart device is really convenient for my daily routines. The device doesn't do much on its own; you enhance its abilities by adding "skills" to it through the Amazon Alexa app. Some of the skills include a Starbucks reorder skill, which reorders your favorite drink at a selected store, or the Lyft skill, which can order a Lyft to your address right away. Before adding skills, the Echo Dot has features like the ability to play music through Prime Music (or Amazon Music Unlimited if you are subscribed to it), order items from Amazon, set alarms and timers, or listen to a daily news briefing that includes your favorite news sources. At $50, the device is a fantastic way to dip your toes into the pool of AI and smart home devices, though I do wish the cost of the device was less. They would certainly sell many more if the price became more attractive.

I Got two of these for the holidays as gifts for my parents and inlaws.

Bought this for my daughter, but after giving it a test run, kept it for myself. Great for asking questions.. And playing music. Love that Alexa is always listening.

Easily connects to home router and interfaces Pandora.I am. using the DOT along with the ECHO to play music throughout my home. Everyone wants to converse with Alexa.

It was a gift for a teenager and she loved the dot. It can function as the speaker for a smaller area. Love the speech recognition and how easily it picked up accents

This is a great starting out Alexa device if your not huge on technology or just starting to convert your home to a smart home. Works great for our kids
