Customer Ratings & Reviews

The profile is very nice and the speaker is clearer, compared to the 2nd gen Echo Dot unit I had previously. Interface to program/set preferences is done through either the phone or through the interface that can be accessed via computer. A good way to try out Amazon Echo Dot if you're looking to convert your home into a smart home! I also like that I got this with my watch purchase, so free is always better.

Good little speaker. I also have the 4th gen. This is better than my 2nd, but not as much bass as my 4th. Small and does what I need it to do.

Somewhat disappointed in the 3rd gen Echo Dot. The voice range intelligibility is muffled compared to the 2nd gen. This is the result of the internal speaker facing down with sound emitting thru the bottom edge of the unit. Consequently, you no longer need to wall mount the unit to help with the bass response. I should note that my primary use is not music. I will concede that this version has much better bass and more volume than the 2nd gen, but the highs are definitely muted. A larger internal speaker helps, but results in a larger case size. If you wish to wall or ceiling mount, you will need to buy a new mount.

I love this little Alexa ! Small size, easy to move around. Works great and the sound is good too

We already have the 1st generation Echo and happy with it. The Echo dot is compact and looks sleek in our bedroom. We use it to turn on the lamp and listen to music while getting ready for work or just relaxing. The speaker is “just okay” but you can’t really expect much due to the compact design. Overall you can’t go wrong at this price point! All Amazon customers should own this device.

I am still figuring out how practical this Alexa Dot is, but it certainly is a lot of fun, especially the smart speaker. I put this one in my office and will buy another soon as an alarm clock. I am an Amazon Prime member, but never took advantage of the free Amazon music until I bought this product. Alexa has a sense of humor. I look forward to the day when more machine learning is built into the product.

I love its petite size for my bathroom. It's my alarm and it tells me the weather each day.

Perfect for bedrooms or smaller areas. Good quality sound for the size and easy to use.

I love this! it was a present for my father for Christmas and it is a must! He uses it as a clock to tell him the time as well as to listen to music and ask other questions he has. He is not much of a techy person, but he utilizes it every day and really enjoys having accesses to the internet with this device. I would totally recommend this to my friends and family.

Nice unit for the price. Doesn’t produce much bass but didnt expect much because of its size. If you have the 1st gen Dot this is a nice improvement.

Excellent, sounds, great , good size, Very easy instructions

I love the new design and quality of My echo dot it sounds great works my to switches.

I love this one! I have the first generation echo, which is kind of dying at this point, but the speaker in the third generation is amazing! It gets pretty loud! So I usually keep it on volume six, and that actually still feels louder than usual. This purchase came paired with a smart light bulb, and it is awesome! I love being able to tell Alexa to turn the light on.

We loved our 2nd Gen dot for why we needed it for. When this one came out we decided to get it as it had louder sound and a new design. We have no complaints! The unit is easy to set up and paid to our receiver for fuller sound. At $25 it was a steal! While we use it for the basics (lights, timers, and music...) we love it for what we use it for. If you’re curious, this is a great entry level home assistant! Enjoy with confidence!

This came as a bonus gift when purchasing Ring Video Doorbell 2. I would never have purchased it, otherwise. That said, We are very happy with this addition to our home devices! We never expected it would become a part of household routines for listening to music, alarms, notices of deliveries, and perhaps best of all-making our grocery list!! Thank you Amazon, Ring and Best Buy for a great gift we never knew we needed!

This is a great little device to get questions answered, play music, set as a timer... Works great paired to our ring door bell also. No need for a separate chime.

The echo dot makes life easy and fun Easy to use, even our four year old can be understood Normally understands commands on first attempt We added switches and plugs for the Dot to control. Switch installation wasn’t hard for my husband- didn’t even take 30 minutes. Plugs were as simple as plug in add the app and tell Alexa to turn them on and off. Great device - we will be adding more in different areas of the house.

I've amassed a pile of these over the past year and a half. I started out with my first dot that took the place of my alarm clock. Then I started asking for the time and weather reports. I now use them to listen to prime music and navigation thru echo auto, making shopping lists, turning on and off lights, and setting reminders. I started out small but am building my relationship with Alexa dsily.

The Echo was recommended for apple devices. Basic set up was easy. Adding addition links is more challenging. Wanted to add iTunes library and directions did not match what is on the screen. Still trying to work through it. This is for my son and he is enjoying it. The speaker sounds good. He likes being able to ask questions and getting immediate answers. Bought a WEMO plug that works well with it. Set up was several steps.

Sets alarms,tells local weather and plays music. Easy to connect to other devices
