Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was a bit uneasy using something like this. It took me years to use Siri. But it was a bundled pkg so I tried it out. Easier than Siri to learn and use and I like that I can shut the mic off. The music even sounds nice.

We upgraded from a second gen dot and it is a pretty noticeable difference. Function is the same, but the third gen is "chunkier" and more substantial. Biggest thing we noticed was the improved sound quality. While it is far from bass heavy, it is less "tinny" than the second gen dot and a worthy upgrade.

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.

Great product but slightly limited when it comes to other devices. I hate when I tell it to play a song and it isn't part of what it can play out of the box. Still for the price it does what is needed but nothing that would make this stand out amongst the other products on the market.

For a true tin foil hat guy to buy this is a life evaluating event. But my favorite aspect of this is I don't even have to search FOR ANYTHING on my phone anymore. Or even type anymore. I just say Alexa, play crazy train and BOOM! Ozzy is singing to me. Seriously tho, I'd recommend this for any older parents. They can talk so no typing and everything will be at the end of the tongue now. Delivery, cab, google searches, music, instructions to a certain dish and so on.

I placed this in my laundry room. Nothing like having music when I'm washing, drying, and doing the dreaded folding. It's small, can be hidden or blended in, and works for low volume tunes. It's also my closest Alexa to my garage door, so I use it to turn on lights when I get home after the sun goes down.

The Echo Dot came free with a Sony TV I bought. The TV has the Google assistant so I didn't really need this. I gave it to my Mom to use in her kitchen. It's very handy for setting timers and making shopping lists that you can see in the app. It also works good for streaming music. We all have fun asking it to tell us jokes too. I plan on installing a few Wi-Fi switches so she can use it to turn some lights on and off. It's well designed and fun to use. Definitely happy with it!

The Amazon Echo Dot 3 is amazing. The Amazon Echo products are great. Alexa is very responsive and works well in any room. The sound quality is very good. The volume is good. Everything about this little product is excellent. I would highly recommend.

Better, more sound fullness than the previous generation, mainly cause it's bigger and wrapped in fabric. That also makes it collect more dust that can't just be wiped down like the shiny 2nd generation. A few colors to pick from. The other difference I dislike compared to previous generation is that the power adapter is bigger and proprietary, no longer the universal USB type. The 4th generation is already out, completely redesigned.

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.

Easy set up and works great. I've gone overboard but just too neat to not have. I control lights and switches with a few words. I can find most answers by just asking "Alexa _____________" Food, TV, Movies, she has the answer. Play music ? Just anything. Notifications? Yep. Reminders? Yep.

Got it as an additional gift for a TV purchase. Use it every day for reminders, timers, news, music, etc. It’s my first experience with Alexa and I have not been disappointed.

She knows it all and you can sync your AmazonMusic, Spotify and a ton other apps/accounts with it to have an even more personalized experience. The sound quality is incredible (it surpassed my expectations) and it's pretty loud too. It's a great deal, no denying it.

Was confused between Google mini and this but having viewed lots of review online. I have decided on this. Got this on sale but could have bought one more so that I could create stereo. Sound quality is good, setup is breeze. I have it connected with my wyze and Philips hue and completely satisfied.

This echo dot is very loud and gets the job done! I carry it with me to work and plug it in to play music throughout the day and get weather info. Love this and how easy it is to use with the app!

I love the amazon echo's and have so far purchased three. I have had some difficulty getting them linked together, but otherwise I enjoy the ease and convenience of having them throughout the house. Alexa's voice controls have gotten better since the first generation and that has been a HUGE plus.

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 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 bought this to use with my Ring alarm system and doorbell. It can be a chime for the doorbell, and a great way to turn on/off the alarm. It also has a Guard mode that activates when you tell it you're leaving, which will listen for glass breaking or alarms when you're gone and notify you.

If you are like me and have never had a smart speaker of any type this is an excellent device to start with. Amazon's 3rd generation echo dot come with improved sound and better microphone than it's previous efforts. The far field microphones will pick up speech even if not in the same room. The speaker itself is full of sound and bass. If plan on getting multiple echo dots you will be happen to know that you can group multiple dots together to have them play the same music, podcast, audiobook, etc. The list of features do not stop with audio playback, the echo dot is capable of controlling smart home items such as light bulbs, thermostats, locks, etc. all done though set up in the Alexa app. In short there are many things that this small speaker can not do, if you decide to pick it up you will be happy.
