Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased this unit as a Secret Santa gift. After the person won it, I explained to them how the Alexa units work and how simple they tend to make life. She went off and bought one for each bedroom of her house (she loved it so much after using it for a week).

Full disclosure - My home is a google smart home, but this item came free as a bonus from another purchase over the holidays. I wanted to try it out just to check the differences between my google home minis. My only complaint is that I wished all of the smart home companies worked together and were all user friendly with one another...oh well...maybe someday in the future we can all learn to get along : )

I got this as a package deal with the Ring doorbell 2 for my parents. I have the previous generation at home and I have to say I may be switching to these. They are a bit bigger but the sound has improved a lot. Try and buy them when they are on sale.

Small , cute and good sound. I bought it on sale just to have some music play in my kitchen and living room while doing chores.

This is my second echo, it is in my living room / dining room area (small home). I love it. Just recently, I set up a few routines, which I really like. I also got a smart power strip, and now I can voice control turning on my lamp, seems silly but it is nice.

The sound is incredible for teh size of the speaker. As for the "smartness" of Alexa, I have to say there is a long road to call that technology smart.

Received this Echo Dot free with the purchase of a Fire TV. It is very convenient to listen to Christmas music, a Bucks or Badgers game, check on the weather or as others have enjoyed to just ask interesting questions. At times need to repeat ourselves as Alexa doesn't always get our requests correct, but overall a fun little speaker.

Super easy to set up and use. Love the new dialing capability where I can dial numbers from my phone by telling Alexa to call a person. Security has been improved drastically. Definitely a good cheap and reliable buy.

Compact easy to use. Pretty good sound for size and picks up voice at an amazing distance.

This is our 4th echo in the house. We just love the convenience of one in the rooms we use most. Great price on a small but mighty device with awesome sound.

I enjoy talking to the echo and watching it turn off my lights and lower the temperature in my house. listening to music is fine as well but the speaker will distort the sound at higher volumes. I would recommend connecting the echo Dot to an existing speaker. This is a cool gift but completely unnecessary. All of my automated household items that work work Alexa have their own apps that work with speech and touch right off of my phone.

Great little speaker to access fly Amazon music. Love that it tells me the time and the weather and I can connect to my Amazon account.

The sound quality of the speaker in this gen3 model is much better than my echo dot gen2 that I have. I like how this looks with the fabric sides. It is larger and heavier than the gen2 model (probably because of a larger speaker inside). It comes with a large power adapter and the connector is no longer micro usb but a circular plug similar to the audio connector. So no longer able to use this in the car like with gen2 (if you wanted to do that) because of the different connector and larger power adapter needed.

Alexa has spoiled me from turning on the lights, telling me the time and reminding me of things to do and the best part is I got it free with my TV purchase. I love it!

These item helps alot at home specially when your cooking and whant to listen to music you can just tell alexa to play the music for you.

This is my second echo dot in the house. Love them both! You can link them to your ring doorbell, and any music apps. You can also drop in on another Alexa from your echo dot or your cellphone which is great. Easy set up as well.

Received one of these for free when we bought our new TV. Came back and got two more for other rooms of the house. Now we can have music throughout the house as well as an intercom system using the "Drop In" function. Great item for the money.

Works well for all my devices in home, this make life easier for lights and fans to start and stop. And amazon order announcement

Easy to set up and use. Compact and convenient. Blends in nicely.

I use mine with the wall mount (extra cost) in the bathroom to add items to my shopping list, get the weather report, and listen to music. It’s compact size is perfect!
