Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have come to like the Echo models with screens better. They are more pricey, but they also do more. Some of them also have larger speakers, so the sound quality is better. I have had this model and also the basic Google model. I came to like this better. I do a good bit of smart home control with these and I like the response and also the quality of the voice. For an entry-level device, this does a decent job. I have given some of these to friends as gifts and they and their children have enjoyed them.

You’ll be able to use it to control smart home devices, search for information from the web, play music, and more. But the best thing about it is how inexpensive it is. The design of the speaker is also pretty nice.

It's nice to be able to ask Alexa about the time, about the weather forecast, to set a timer, and most of all (with a Prime membership) to play music. Hook it up to a larger sound system for richer sound, but the Dot itself has acceptable sound if you just want background music while you're working on something around the house.

I use the Echo Dot for listening to podcasts, iHeartRadio radio, turn lights on or off, and much more, works great with easy installation.

loving my new speaker, very loud and the quality is good

I am a fan. We already had an Echo Dot, now we have two. You can sync up the two speakers and have music playing throughout the house. I am really enjoying this smart speaker. I am able to control all our smart plugs and devices, this with very little setup.

Received this for the holiday's and was apprehensive at first. However, as time as gone on I have come to really enjoy it. I can ask simple questions about many subjects for general info, but for me the best part is that if you can sync to a bluetooth sound device (or using it's sad little speaker) and listen to any radio station anywhere by just telling it. One can also listen to Amazon music, but I find that I can access a lot more choices by going online with a device or computer. I do recommend the Echo Dot and would maybe get the Echo model with the better speakers.

We have several Alexa Devices with screens, but having the dot is convenient as well. It’s small so it stays out-of-the-way, and there are just some places where you don’t want to have a screen (or camera). It also helps if you use Alexa to play music throughout the house, this is a quick and easy way to add additional listening points. Nice new look as well.

Bought the Echo to stream music to my Sony stereo receiver that does not have Blue Tooth capability. I have Sirius / XM and I can now play the XM streaming service thru my whole house stereo system. Just need a 3.5mm to RCA stereo audio cable and plug it into the back of the Echo Dot audio line out and the other end into your stereo receiver. I can also Blue Tooth my iPad music thru the Echo Dot from my ITunes library. Set up was easy using the Alexa app and I like the low profile of the unit on my entertainment center.

Easy to setup and use. Nice speaker sound. Great information tool.

Easy to setup and use. Sound quality is good for its size.

These little things are cool and loud. Very easy to use and set up!

BestBuy's 2/$50 deal is definitely the way to go if you live in a house. It preforms exactly as advertised: Music, simple tasks, and info. The 3rd gen Dot's speaker is more than adequate for music listening. Sync and then place in different areas of the house and they can act as an intercom. Getting Alexa to work with different smart devices can be a little challenging because many of these devices require separate controllers or a `bridge' for the different technologies to interface. If you plan to fully unlock Alexa's potential and convert to a smart house, it can be quite expensive.

Very easy to set up and has great sound quality for a small device.

This is my 3rd one and I love them but, they can be VERY frustrating to set up depending on what you want to do. I have mine in a music group so you can hear the same channel in all 3 rooms. For what ever reason.....they don't always stay connected together and as of last Monday I cant get them back to playing together. I spent several hours trying everything I read to do without success. Very frustrating! She does do the easy stuff very well and have her paired with several other smart devices. Still love her even though she can be a little ……..

Easy to use, has great volume Easy setup Really Enjoy it

Fills my room with wonderful sound, and looks great while doing it.
