Customer Ratings & Reviews

Alexa controls our lights, av equipment and the thermostat. The dot can seemingly hear much better than the regular Echo. This dot will often respond instead of the Echo I’m sitting right next to. The speaker is horrible. If you are thinking of using this for music, I strongly suggest some type of speaker/amplifier to use in addition. It sounds worse than a tin can. I’ve also learned more is not always better. We have a small house and actually had to reduce the number of ‘Alexas’. If a distant one responded to a request to turn a light on or off, it typically wouldn’t happen. We have to talk to it quieter so only the closest one hears and then we have no issues.

If you looking at this to play music you will need to either use a Bluetooth speaker or use the AUX out to connect to a stereo. If you just want it for the home automation function this is all you need.

Echo Dot is great if you don't want to spend a lot of money to get the Alexa . Your able to hook up your stereo or a blue tooth speaker. There are a bunch of features you can do with this great device.

I love Alexa!! It’s amazing to be able to talk out loud and get whatever I need. Mostly it’s to get some music playing.

I have 2 of these 1 in the basement and upstairs great listening music on and its connected too my surround sound just awesome

My whole family loves asking questions, playing games, listening to music and they really love it when she tells jokes.

We love our Dot~ it’s helpful and fun. Works well with lots of apps. Our favorite is adding items to our shopping list.

This small unit does it all. I thought I might need the bigger unit but decided to try the Dot first and am glad I did.

Great small speaker device coupled with Alexa in multiple rooms creates fantastic entertaining and communication system

It's fun in the early days to ask it the weather, etc, and easier than picking up my phone to ask Siri, but maybe a fad that will wear off? But cheap so ok

Excellent device. Lower cost alternative to Echo to allow use in rooms which do not require expense Echo with high end speaker.

We originally purchased an echo with our Phillips Hue lighting kit. You can control the lights (turn on and off plus dimming) with your voice. The echo is super responsive to voice commands and quick to respond to tasks. We have ended up using a multitude of features such as checking the weather, creating timers, setting up with our wi-fi thermostat so that Alexa can control the indoor temperature, as well as with our smart lighting. We now have 4 Echo Dots in the house and use them daily.

The Echo Dot is great! I use it all the time to make lists, a timer, facts, and reminders. Very beneficial for anyone!

Bought this for a present. It's easy to use and makes music searching ready. Just doesn't find un common songs but still works!

Such a nice addition, I decided to give them for gifts. It hears the TV so sometimes she talks at random times.

Best thing I've purchased in years. Just the alarm alone is worth the purchase, and now I win more arguments with the wife...

Absolutely love my Echo dot!! We have it in the middle of our apartment (hallway area) and it hears us whether we're in the kitchen or our bedroom. We have found many ways to use it throughout our day.

The echo works well to use with Phillips hue bulbs. We also use it for weather updates, music, and many additional features.

I love that Alexa now is compatible with Apple Music. The speaker quality is good. Fun little device to have!

I bought five of them as Christmas gifts and they were a hit. I have three of them at home and will probably get more.
