Customer Ratings & Reviews

We received this as a gift and have found it useful for activating smart devices in our home. We use it for news and weather updates and timers. It is helpful for adding items to our grocery list when we are busy in the kitchen without needing to stop and write something on a list or add it to a phone app. We were surprised that the sound is pretty good and even use it to listen to music from time to time. It is a great first step for turning our home into a "smart" home.

I purchased a tv and received this as a gift with it and man let me tell you for a small little speaker this thing is legit. It plays my music, i set up an alarm and it doesnt scare the life out of me when it wakes me up. I love the color changing effect too. Overall would recommend to anyone

Great product, easy to install, sounds great, great for the discounted price, looks good.

I LOVE HER!! The set up was so easy and Alexa is everything! She controls my tv, my lights, my music, I wish she could close the door and take out the trash I probably would marry her. At least attempt, the world is not ready for that yet. No problems and I travel with her even!!

The best! Recognizes my voice and commands without too much issue (much better then Siri). Played well with my Dlink cameras, Iris Home devices and... APPLE MUSIC!!!!! Also works well with my Logitech Harmony WiFi remote device and TV set up. And, this is just the tip of the iceberg. We have fun with trivia games, homework (yes Alexa can answer some interesting questions) and we’re still discovering other Skills! And - I am NOT an Android user (full iOS immersion here)!

My father is physically disabled on one side of his lower body and a product like this makes his daily living much easier with just a voice command that enables him to live more comfortably, learn conveniently, and listen to his hearts content. With system connectivity and control, access to valuable information through web such as traffic/weather/encyclopedia/online stores, etc., music, and even simple things like hearing a good joke...His smile was the brightest this past Christmas. You do need an Amazon account, the Echo device app on your phone, and connection/link took quite some time and process. If it was more simple and made more user friendly for non-tech savvy people like my mother, it'd be 5 stars. Overall, there's nothing negative I have to say about it.

Easy setup and works great with Alexa and smart plugs. Set it up to help with lights. Plays music well.

Was easy to set up and works great. Good way to integrate various smart devices on your home network. It is fun to sit around with friends sometimes and recall music you grew up with. Just ask Alexa to play the song. Even if you can't remember the name, if you remember the any of the lyrics or the singer / band you usually can get Alexa to play the song for you.

The idea of smart home integration and voice commands is great, and the Alexa ecosystem works as well as any option on the market, and better than most, but eventually the idea of this device listening to our daily lives was more than my wife wanted to deal with. It's easy to set up, works well with other Amazon devices, and is unobtrusive, and was a freebie throw-in with another purchase, so I don't feel at all cheated.

I already have the much larger Amazon Echo with Alexa 3rd gen so I was curious about this 3rd gen Echo Dot and i must say it's great just as great as the big brother and you can do everything that you want from shopping to telling jokes and music of course. This is a must have and I THINK I'm going to purchase one more it's not going to break the bank it's priced just right so don't wait get yourself one today.

If you're looking for a small, unobtrusive smart speaker, this is a good candidate. I'm not an "audiophile" but I think the sound is pretty good from such a small device. Connecting devices to control with it is not what I'd call super easy, but I got everything connected that I wanted to on the first try after following the directions carefully.

I was not sure whether to get the Google Mini or the Echo Dot. I read many reviews but they made me more confused. Finally I purchased a firestick and I could get the echo dot cheaper than if I had purchased it separate. I am pleased with the sound and how easy it was to setup. Alexa understands what I say and I can understand her. I am pleased with the purchase. I would like to buy some plugins now to use with it.

My wife and I LOVE the Echo Dot. We actually have three now, as well as a Show and a Flex. The Routines function lets us set alarms for work days, and the option to play thunderstorm sounds helps my wife sleep. If we’re cleaning the house, we ask Alexa to play our favorite tunes. We really can’t imagine life without them! Perfect gift for someone moving into their first dorm, apartment, or house!

It is very easy to setup and operate and our whole family has enjoyed using it. The sound quality is really good and I have been impressed by how far away I can stand and speak in a normal voice and it still hears me, there has been times when it does not respond or another Dot from another room responds, overall it works well. When you activate a skill you do have to pay attention to the exact language that you need to use to activate the skill, what you name it.

The sound quality of this Echo Dot is incredible for its size. I use one like a clock radio, setting a wake-up time, and telling it to stop playing in 20 minutes while I'm falling asleep. It's also great to just ask for news or weather. You don't even need any paid services (such as Amazon Prime Music). I just use Pandora (free) and it provides great music according to my preferences. Really, this IS the best thing since sliced bread!

Works perfect the sound is clear and can be loud if you turn it up, also very easy to use.

Easy to set up this device great low footprint spacesaving device,responsive to certain voice commands as long as little to no background noise worth it if you want to save battery power on phone and stream music .

Got the new Dot smart speaker and have to say the wait was worth it. I have numerous devices now and really didn't need another one, but thought it would be nice to have one in the bathroom while taking a shower or "other" duties. I heard for a small speaker, the sound was incredible and being as small as it is, placement would not be a problem. Correct on both parts. Larger Echo speakers have better sound, but for a speaker this small and unobtrusive, fantastic.

Love my Amazon echo dot. Easy to set up. Small and out of the way. Great sound.

I'm super impressed with the quality of the Echo 3 dot. I'm really blown away with the quality of sound of the speakers, Alexa is very responsive and fast in its interaction with you. I originally bought two. This is my first Echo 3 dot. I was so impressed I went back to the store and bought two more. The price was also great, I'm surprised it didn't cost more. I highly recommend this product, you won't be disappointed.
