Customer Ratings & Reviews

Echo dot is a really good device: the microphones are sensitive, the speaker quality is great for what it is, and Alexa is competent. However, if you're looking for better integration with other smart devices, the google home may be a better pick, especially if you don't have Amazon Prime. The google home app on your phone is also better than the Alexa app, at least on iOS. That all being said, Alexa works well and I would recommend this if you're looking to add a digital assistant to your home.

Sound quality is very good, it hears very well. I like the size. Also you can purchase a plug hanger to make more room on surface space. Don't like that if doesn't have a clock.

Easy to set up and connect to internet. Works great, easy to understand, speaker is good quality

Originally I purchased one of these with the smart light bundle for my folks during Christmas…and after testing it out I went back and bought 2 more. I’m surprised how much we use it. My folks can use it as an intercom between rooms…set up reminders for stuff (they tend to forget a bit at their age)…use it for activating their smart lights…find out information about anything and I’m showing them some funny stuff to ask Alexa on top of it. Now if I could just figure out how to change Alexa’s voice to someone like Samuel L. Jackson for entertainment purposes we’d be set….or at least have the option for Alexa to use profanity from time to time :) Overall I love it…playing Pandora radio and using these as surround sound speakers in the house came in way more handy than I imagined.

I know it's an older model of the DOT, but this is Great! I like the sound, I've also been able to connect to my TV and sound bar to add to the sound when playing music.

Love this lil echo dot their so cute and efficient i wish you could just say Alexa do this or r a do that but hey Alexa is ok it works great it’s informative even when I don’t ask it prompts me

Got this because it was $25 and even bought two more for my mother in law. I needed an additional Alexa coverage in my office while I work from home to play music, and other things. This fit the bill. Small so it out of the way and the speakers are good enough to play music while I work.

First smart device. Easy set up and sounds great. I liked it so much I am going to buy several more. Pretty cool to just say Alexa, play music or what time is it, ask a question etc.. Turn lights off on on with your voice and even change the color. Great device.

I was skeptical about what kind of sound experience the Echo Dot would provide. When you look at it, the first thought is, wow, this is small. It isn't terribly bigger than a hockey puck, but the sound it produces is pretty impressive. The size of this speaker really works to it's advantage

We love our echo dot, it's very user friendly and easy to setup. Downloading the Alexa app allows access to tons of skills and games that can be installed and played on the dot. It also allows you to connect it to spotify or other music accounts for endless music while studying or chilling.

These are nice. The sound quality isnt bad for what they are and how big they are. Really nice price on a promotion and you can hook up more to each other.

This came free with a purchase. The sound quality is fantastic, and the smart functionality seems functional. My biggest qualm with it is that it’s not battery powered and must stay plugged in when in use. If it weren’t free, I wouldn’t have gotten it, but I’m not super interested in making my house a smart home.

I love this version of Alexa's Amazon. It's tiny enough to fit everywhere but with a great sound quality and excellent way to capture your voice and understand what you say. I strongly recommend this Amazon Echo Dot 3.

I really didn’t want to like this thing but that isn’t the case. I can’t say enough good things about it. Useful in many ways. Just ask a question and Alexa will answer it, control it, play it and remind you. Kids are enjoying it as well, Alexa, tell me a joke? Siri has nothing on Alexa!

Alexa is a nice spontaneous online helper. It's speaker quality is very good with excellent receiving capacity by its 4 microphone. It's size is very cute and can place on bed side table.

Echo Dot 3rd Gen offers security and its speaker provides very good quality sounds This item is dependable and giving directions easy with simple commands to control lights, reminders, and request information among many commands.

I never intended to purchase the Echo Dot and have never had any home automation devices, however it came free with a promo when purchasing my Ring Alarm system. So far, I've been so impressed with this little unit that I purchased another one. It works seamlessly with the Ring Alarm, allowing you to arm and disarm the alarm system by voice. The most impressive (and unexpected) feature of this unit is you can set the Echo Dot/Alexa up to "guard" your home when you arm your Ring Alarm system. Once the system is armed, the Echo Dot(s) in your home will listen for the sound of glass breaking, as well as the sound of smoke/carbon monoxide detectors. If it detects any of those events, it will alert you. As far as the internal speaker goes, the quality of sound is reasonably decent for such a small package. It has a line-out jack to connect to external speakers. The only thing that could make this unit better is to add a line-in jack, in the event that you wanted to use it as an external speaker for another device.

To give Amazon some credit, though there have always been some lingering privacy concerns, as long as you're not doing anything shady at home, it is very nice to have Alexa make your house more automated if you also have a lot of the plugs and other smart devices. having had previous generation echoes, this one actually looks much nicer and prettier. I also think the speaker is subtly better if you play music.

I just love this little thing... I own 4 of then (all the colors) and 1 Echo Show... along with the ring for my front door and the Phillips light is the best combo for your home.... this Echo dot help me to control my lights, add music to any room, keep me inform about the weather, etc..... just love it.

I bought this for my son. It is his first smart speaker. He loves it and uses it for many different things. The speaker has great sound quality he listens to music along with podcasts. He also uses it as an alarm and reminder for many different things form waking up to cooking to getting his laundry.
