Customer Ratings & Reviews

I really like the quality of the speaker. I have had some glitches where it doesn't hear me, or can't connect to the internet and I have to unplug it every once in a while.

Has a good speaker. Easy to use and set up. Can easily understand you without having to repeat yourself or talk slower.

Fun while it lasted. Only lasted 1 year. Used it to work the light, which was great to dim or turn it off.

Love Alexa. Even my kids can use it. Sound quality great.

Echo Dot 3rd Gen is a Much Better Speaker in a Much Better Presentation than the older model. High Quality with more bass and better sound quality.

Awesome, fabulous, speaker quality is good. Must buy

Very nice listening music to it and kids love it .

excellent product an d easy for use , for all family

Love it but a lot of songs tell me i need amazon music unlimited and that cost money.

I purchased this Echo dot for my grandson! I had no idea what it was supposed to do,but when he opened it, he was thrilled. He hooked it up immediately, and when he demonstrated what it would do I decided we would have to have one too. Great little gift or just to enjoy at home.

Good sound, but Alexa can't hear me well. I don't know what to do with this.

This product (in the $20 range) can do everything the Echo Plus (in the $140 range) can do except turn lights on and off. It will even tell you when your Amazon products have arrived! If you are looking for an Amazon Alexa, this is the best bang for your buck.

I found that I don't use this a lot but it's OK for what it can do.

Full of knowledge! Got this itemfor a holiday gift for a friend. She cant stop talking about it!

This is the 4th product I've owned with Alexa voice control. It looks nice and has a deeper sound than the 2nd generation, but has 2 flaws that I cannot overlook. First, this 3rd generation Echo Dot is slower to respond to the wake word "Alexa" than the 2nd generation. The 2nd generation is almost instant, this one takes almost a full second. I tested both of them in the same location with one disconnected while I tested the other to avoid conflict. Second, this 3rd generation does not have a micro USB port on the back for power, it used a barrel connector which means you are going to be left with a useless brick if you ever damage the included cable. The 2nd generation uses the standard micro USB. I do not recommend this new version of the Echo Dot over the 2nd generation. Buy a 2nd generation if you can find one or wait to see if Amazon fixes these problems with the 4th generation. They usually announce new products in early Spring.

So Bluetooth is on on both my iPhone and my laptop and both devices are discoverable. Both devices can see each other in the 'Bluetooth' section. However, Amazon's Alexa Echo Dot is a super special device that CANNOT discover either of my devices. The Alexa iOS app and the web application and two of the most crappy applications I have ever used. Apart from the fact that the app cannot discover any of my bluetooth devices, it also has the worst UI ever. Goodluch navigating the horrible UX. Since I cannot connect neither my phone nor my laptop to echo dot, I have no use for it. Returning it ASAP. The fact that Amazon could not program Alexa to recognize special characters in a device's name is SHOCKING because iPhones have been named as "Matt's iPhone" since yesteryears. No wonder this crappy device is always on sale.

I ask the sales person who was selling me a 2nd new Samsung tablet to sell me speakers to pair with each of them. With everything in position I downloaded the Echo Dot App. After a long try I receive a bubble telling me it isn’t compatiable with this product. I’ve read enough now to know why. The following a is quote from one of the sites offering help. The comments run the same through the other sites. “Last month Amazon said it would eventually allow its voice-controlled virtual assistant Alexa to work on mobile devices, provided those devices are tablets made by Amazon. "Eventually" means now. However everything is mentioned except Samsung” Amazon seems to have an issue with Samsung that affects the consumer. I keep trying to like Amazon. Oh well, I won’t be returning the 2 tablets. I’ll return Echo and try another company for the two speakers.

I've been in the Alexa family for a while now, starting with the first generation Echo, then the Echo Show. This small addition to the Alexaverse is not really good for listening to music, as the other two are, but it is perfect for smart home controls, or just asking questions.

Love it. A nice free gift!!! I always wanted one of these!

I gave this Echo Dot as an extra gift and she loved it.
