Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very useful and helpful in performing daily chores :-)

I've been using my echo to control my thermostat. Next I added lighting and appliance controls, all via simple voice commands. You can get weather information too. I can hardly wait to add my own skills to the Amazon library.

My dad was a little skeptical at first when I got this for his birthday last month, but my mom just called to tell me that he loves it. He asks questions and does research using it all the time now. It makes a great gift.

My family and I enjoy our amazon dots! It not only runs our hue light sustem but it also answers ridiculous questions from the kids and gives me my bedside alarm clock! Great product need to put one in every room now.

We purchased the Echo Dot over the holidays. My 10 year old loves it! At first he was having conversations with Alexa and now he’s asking her questions that help him with his homework! A great addition for every home.

It is like a toy for me rather than a necessity. I leave in an apartment and I knew the Echo is not necessary but I still bought it for testing and fun purposes. Well, It was only one day fun for me. It is nothing but a voice controller. It has a lot of potential but right now I think Amazon still need to improve the Echo skills.

Love my Dot! Easy to setup. Took me maybe 10 mins tops. She wakes me in the morning, plays my favorite tunes, and so much more. My girlfriend is a bit threatened of our relationship. But I'm sure we'll call get along

A frequent Apple user, but nice addition to use outside

We have the echo down stairs And we got the echo dot for upstairs we love both of them. And would highly recommend both. They are fun to ask questions, ask about weather. Just about anything it's great. We love them both.

The Amazon Echo Dot has made a great gift for my daughter. It was nice to be able to buy some of the latest tech at a reasonable price for once. She has found many uses for it, but her favorite seems to be for playing music.

Love using this echo dot for everything such as recipes, cooking, timers, reminders and like that i get emails for random idea's to ask it as well. Can't wait to hook the family up to use with this.

It works like it say it does n that a good pic with it

We have had lots of fun finding facts about this day in history, playing game like jeopardy and which would you rather. The kids love asking questions and finding/playing songs. They also love all the easter eggs Alexa has.

Very helpful for the whole family. Price is right.

The dot is the perfect way to get a taste of what it’s like to have a smart assistant within having to make a big investment, but after a few days with the dot, you’ll want the echo plus and other smart home products.

I would recommend this over the full echo for the price

I have connected the DOT to my Harmony Remote for controlling my sound and tv systems. It does take some hands on training and work to get each device to work properly. I do enjoy the standard vox requests, like time/weather/news and joke of the day. It is fun. I am a vox control user with SIRI and Cortana. So this is a next step.

We bought this product as a start to making our home a smart home. No issues with it so far. Others that we that have this exact one use it the exact way we were looking too. I would give it 5 but we have not got to the point of transitioning over to a smart home. So I have no experience with this aspect yet.

As many have already stated, the speaker is not great (not even good for music). I have been disappointed with Alexa's ability to understand asked questions, and surprised at the amount of questions it is not able to answer. The size is great, and the app is helpful.

It's definitely convenient. No typing required!!!!
