Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this as a gift so I can’t really say, but they seem to like it!

I love Alexa! We mainly use her turn lights on and off, control our thermostat, play music and for the shopping list. My grandfather also likes to talk to her like she's a friend. Always makes for a great laugh!

Used to order stuff from Amazon and get free shipping on “Add-on” items with Prime membership. Used to turn light and fan on or off. This device can read news from NPR and read books from Audible. The negative thing about this device is voice recognition not always recognizing all the words.

Alexa is beautiful! She only talks when I ask her to. She knows all the right things to say. She is always there when I need her. Her voice is smooth as velvet. Yep. she's my new girl in my life. Amen.

Great addition to the Echo line up. Perfect for if you don't need music (although it will play through its small speaker) but need voice control for lights etc or just asking questions.

No room filling sound like the larger Echo, but for an add-on to a home Echo system, this can't be beat! We have one in each room away from our main Echo and they connect and work together seamlessly.

I haven't set it up yet because I have reservations about privacy. However, the product is part of the Amazon family. I'm sure that it will work just fine if I decide to install it.

Bought three for each person in the home. Setup is a breeze. The app interface is user friendly. I recommend placing device in a spot with little echo, no pun, as it seems to not pick up commands due to echo.

I bought this for my dad for Father's Day and he loves it! He talks to "her" every day and I love that you can pretty much get an answer for everything. Our favorite thing to use is the all recipes feature.

The Dot along with Alexa have been great. It’s real nice to have someone turn on the lights when your hands are full or remind you to do a task you would have forgotten. It’s a real Best Buy! Hahahahahaha

This is a great introduction to AI and Smart Technology. I have played with Siri, Cortana, and Google voice and the combination with the Amazon eco system was a win for me - looking forward to advances next year.

I followed this for months but could never really understand all that it did. When it went on sale I had to get it! No regrets! The things this does is unbelievable! They keep adding new things all the time!

This is as good as a full size Echo. The speakers are off course small, so if you want big sound, invest in separate speakers. But as a alarm, bedtime music, news etc on the bed side table, this is perfect.

alexas is great. and frustrating at the same time. there are times when i ask her something and she answers with an answer not even close to what she should or i ask her something from the email examples and she says she doesn't know that answer. other than that she is alot of company and can be fun

This is the 2nd Echo I have bought. You never need an alarm or timer again. As she learns your interests, just ask and you will get any info you are looking for. Waiting to hook to Smart devices and ADT alarm.

Love being able to hear music from any floor in my house or being able to turn on a light or shutting off a light when my hands are full!!

Have been contemplating for months on which alexia to purchase. Read lots of reviews. Saw the dot got great reviews. So far I am pleased with my purchase I need to download some apps to work with it.

Great to have in your office, let's you turn your office into a SMART office. BY adding smart bulbs & smart outlets to turn on lights , fans & T.V. It will answer questions for you too. Like how to spell answer.

While there is a lot of promise for the future of the Echo platform, right now, it's just a gadget. I can see it becoming an integral part of everyday life, but it's just not there yet. If you're on the fence, I'd lean towards getting it so you can become familiar with the technology and grow up with it.

I have chronic insomnia so I need to take a prescribed medication, I ask Alexa to play my starred Spotify and to set sleep timer for 60 min...I drift off to sleep while listening to my favorite tunes.
