Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love this item!!! The sound is great and it’s the perfect size.

Makes it easy to order things online. Works with my tv, no need to type in the search box.

I have heard a lot about Alexa and we are still getting to know each other. I am amazed at the things she knows and she is definitely great at reminding me of things. I love that she can call my friends and family for me and also help me with questions that I don't have to google. It is great for everyone, but being of the older generation I can honest say she is the greatest!

Easy to set up. I use it mostly for music and news. Like it more than I thought I would!

I love the sound. The size is just right thinking about getting another one for my daugter

Good product, easy to use. Nice looking, easy to set up.

The Echo Dot 3 is an attractive, compact device. It's a decent speaker with good, clear sound. Where it falls short is where you need it most. 1) Alexa's voice is WAY TOO LOUD! More often than not I find myself just unplugging at night to avoid the temptation to speak the wake word and have her blurt out at high volume like some drunk girl at a party that's already wound down. As it is dependent on wifi, any command while not connected will prompt a super loud reply, like say volume down while using the bluetooth function to stream shows or music. Same for when it connects to a device. She just yells out the device serial number. I've tried to find ways to quiet her voice level vs music and I just don't see the option anywhere. 2) For it to be a smart speaker that is compatible with smart devices it sure doesn't seem all that smart. It still needs to be manually connected to other devices that A) that are in the same network, B) have Alexa C) Have Alexa under the same account... D) Are streaming Amazon content. Feels like 2008 all over again. The Alexa app is ok but nowhere near as intuitive as it should be. 3) Echo Dot 3 is NOT a portable, speaker as it has no battery. Maybe they're saving that feature for the 4. I've never had a desktop speaker that I couldn't take with me. There are however 3rd party devices available to remedy this. Overall, like I said, decent sound device. As long as you have stable wifi and the patience to constantly adjust the volume and to the situation you should be fine with it.

Very easy to set up. I like to use it to play background music

If you use Amazon at all this is a purchase that pays for itself. You can sync it with your Amazon account. I don't use the shopping aspect of it but mainly ask it questions or will have it play my Amazon music. Amazon music has such a wide selection and its volume gets really loud so you can listen to it throughout the house. It has been a big hit here.

I’ve never been good with technology, but this is super easy to set up and use. I still haven’t even used all her features but I love how she can make the shopping list for me and I can view and check off items at the store. I can’t wait to slowly connect everything thru Alexa

Bought three of these and added them to my other Alexa device collection, have one in every room of my 6000 sq ft home. Just love what these devices can do and then grouping them to allow for music to play in multiple rooms at the same time is great too, Lots of skills that can be downloaded to provide all sorts of automation, I have them control the TV, BluRay, fans, lights, in all rooms, very cool.

I bought 2 Amazon Echo Dots for my daughter for a stocking stuffer at Christmas thinking she would probably be returning them ... but we had so much fun playing with them we ended up buying 3 more so we would have one in every room! You can use them for many tasks, but I enjoy them for music, news & weather. The sound is amazing for thier size. We got the larger Echo for the family room due to improved sound!

Easy to setup, easy to use. Excellent sounds! It's a must have in all of your rooms.

This is a nice addition to the existing Alexa, sounds good and is small and out of the way

This is the perfect product for elderly people, especially if they live alone. It allows them the safety of being able to contact help if they have fallen and cannot get up. They are able to call for help by simply asking Alexa to call daughter or son or emergency. Simply program your phonebook with their name and number and they can just ask for the first name and then Alexa can call directly for help. This adds a very big piece if mind to know they can quickly contact you if they need help. It also answers questions like what time is it or what is the weather forecast. Or it will play their favorite music by just requesting Alexa to play their music. You can even program Alexa to turn on and off lights and other things at a certain time or on demand.

I've never had any "smart" items other than my TV's. I figured this would be a good and simple way in. It is very fun. Especially when you connect lights and whatnot. The sound quality while playing music is great and being able to connect to so many services is cool too. The sound quality while talking to someone in another room on another dot is not that great. I also, no matter what I do, cannot seem to connect to my FireTV to control it. Other than that these are a fun way to start making your home smart.

Love it I use it for music and my blinds It works great! A must!

I have been putting off getting an Echo for a while. I don’t know why but I finally got one. Two days later I got a second one! I am just learning all the possibilities. Listening to XM in the home is much simpler now. Just say, “Alexa, play xxxx on SiriusXM.” Also, walking into a dark house is no longer an issue. A simple command will turn on the lights. There are many more things for me learn about with Alexa.

Sound is fantastic. Used mostly as house intercom, controlling lights and housewide music.

Great product. Easy to set up and use. Great sound go a small device. Love it!
