Customer Ratings & Reviews

I received this echo dot as a gift when I purchase my Insignia TV. I can use this as a speaker for my music. Alexa is very smart. I can ask her anything and she will return the answer. Such a surprise to discover it comes free with a smart TV purchase.

good buy, nice sound, not to big, easy to set up and use

We have an Echo in the kitchen and a Echo Dot in each room. The setup is simple and it’s great to have music and Alexa wherever we want it, and the speaker sound and quality is very good for such a small device. They are so easy to use that even our 2 year old can tell Alexa to play songs she wants to listen to! Definitely recommend.

I have lived abroad in Asia for the past 6 years. I am finally back. That being said, I have not had the opportunity to experience the Alexa/Echo smart home devices. I received this free with my purchase of an Insignia Fire TV and have fallen in love with it. It's small, lightweight, but powerful enough that I can give commands from my kitchen to my master bedroom where the Echo dot is based. I was pleasantly suprised that by that. I've bought Merkury Innovations smart plugs and smart bulbs. They all work pretty well with my Echo Dot. I am waiting for the APC surge protector to arrive. Moreover, it is nice to be able to control my Fire TV handsfree with the Echo Dot. I am enjoying it so much that I have already purchased a seond Echo device.

When you don’t need a video the Echo Dot works great. I use it to turn my smart outlet outside lights on and off with just my voice and can keep it in the cabinet where I have an outlet. I can turn it on to play music to keep myself entertained or listen to a podcast wnd the sound is good.

Works perfectly, easy setup. It’s my second Echo Dot. Currently working from home so set it up on my desk so I can listen to my music and request changes and turn on the light near me without yelling to the Dot in my bedroom. Just needed to assign a different name for it to avoid confusion. Would highly recommend.

I didn't know how lazy I could be until I got this. Now I have it turning off my lights, fans, air purifier, and answering daily things like the time or weather. Love it. Only bad part is that my fan seems to change different commands every few months, but I think that's the fan developers fault and not the device.

I've never had any sort of system like this before so it was very new to me but I got used to it really fast. It's easy to use and I love commanding music every 5 seconds with Alexa! ... I got it for free with a tv purchase but I would definitely purchase it again if I had to.

Love Alexa! This speaker is compact and very easy to move around! Excellent Value speaker with all the Alexa features!

The grandchildren are better at getting the fun out of this product. Very versatile and easy to use. I use it as a timer and weather service. Who wouldn’t enjoy some instant knowledge without starting the computer? Simple to setup and always ready to give you information or a good laugh. The fact that it was free with the TV purchase made it even more fun.

Excellent sound So easy to use Easy setup We love having Alexa around

I've had a gen 2 Echo for about a year. I thought about getting a Dot a long time ago. But the gen 2 Dot's sound quality was tinny and not anything close to the sound quality of an Echo, and Amazon acknowledged that readily. But the new gen 3 Dot has completely revamped the sound quality. At the lower and middle volume levels (up to about level 7 on a 10 level volume system) the sound is as good as an Echo. At the top loudness levels it distorts somewhat and is not quite as good as an Echo. But I never ramp the Dot's up that loud. The Dot sound is as good as an Echo's now, and it's 1/4 to 1/3 the price. I picked up one to try out at home. It was so great that I purchased 4 more immediately. They are throughout the house and one in the garage. The quality and sound capabilities and physical design of this gen 3 Dot is a real game changer.

This is my 5th Amazon Echo device, the first one of the 3rd generation Echo Spot (I have the Gen1 & Gen2 already). This one is slightly larger but smoother on the aesthetics with more rounded edges than previous models. The voice recognition is slightly improved in a "noisy" environment and functions perfectly for recognizing commands and executing scenes within the house.

I don't have to reach across the bed to turn on my lamp in the middle of the night when I get up. Now I just say Echo turn on my lamp. When I get back in bed its Echo turn off my lamp. No hassel just go right to sleep. Was not to love. And if I forgot to set my alarm all I do is close my eyes, and say Echo set my alarm for 6:30 am. I love it !!!!!!

Great sound and connectivity. Easy to setup and use

I am amazed at the sound quality of these little dots. The price just can't be beat. Having Alexa to assist in so many things is very convenient from turning on and off lights and music to giving me weather and news updates. I bought 3 so I could hear my music or news or a book on tape throughout the house. Very satisfied with this purchase.

I love the size and compatibility with my other Alexa Devices!

Sleek design, works really well, easy setup, fantastic voice recognition.

I love this little thing. Got it as a free gift for buying a new TV. I have the Echo Plus already and loved that, this one is super cute and perfect as an extra for the house.

Alexa is easy to use. It retrieves most music requested. Great price.
