Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy setup and simple use. I like that Alexa needs few words to understand commands. Not once have I been told “sorry I don’t know how to help with that” as other assistants have problems. Good speaker and sound for its size and price!

Amazon redesigned this from last year's model it's bigger, has more mics, and much improved sound. I did not like the fabric design nor the properitary power cord. For $50 this is a good voice assistant for a small room (bedroom, kitchen, bathrom). With Black Friday and Christmas sales coming soon pick up a couple as stocking stuffers, everyone would like getting one.

I love having Echo Dot in my kitchen. Its that simple. Its the perfect piece for a room where other items might not work and takes up VERY little space. Plus, Alexa is funny, you can ask her so much and she comes up with some hysterical answers.

The sound is perfect for a single bedroom, and Alexa is useful for playing some music while I do my homework. The sound isn’t as good as a standard Alexa, but it’s really good for the price. I was originally going to buy a HomePod, but this is a great way to save money.

I bought the Echo Dot to use mainly as an alarm and it works wonderfully. Voices with a lower register don't project very well, but I didn't buy it to listen to people talk. Music plays fine and the morning routine has been very helpful in waking me up!

We got this for free with the purchase of a fire tv. It’s one of those things I didn’t know I needed until I got one. We love it. We have since gotten a few more. Switch out a few lightbulbs in your house to Bluetooth smart bulbs and you can control them with your voice. It’s very nice in rooms where the lights or lamps aren’t easy to get to. We can be sitting on the couch and tell Alexa to turn on living room lights and she will cut on all the lamps in the living room or we can be specific and tell her which particular lamp we want cut on. We can leave them on until we get to the top of the stairs headed to bed and tell her to cut off living room lights instead of fumbling our way in the dark. We also have it setup to play our Apple Music.

I like to listen to my favorite songs and artists. I ask if there is any notifications, I also want to connect to my television, I use it as an alarm when I’m cooking, I ask about the weather report, basically there is a lot of use of this tiny device, excellent.

We are still learning everything that Alexa can do, but she's been very helpful (and fun) so far. Easy to set up with the Alexa app. Integrates with other products like our Ring security system. I like the size of the Echo and the fact that it's small and unobtrusive.

I love being able to turn off/on my lights from just a voice command. This will get you started, just have to purchase the correct light switches that can be connected to wifi. The little speaker in this is great for smaller rooms when playing music.

Have Echo Dots in home office and basement workshop. Attractive appearance and take little space. Nice for background music. Useful for making notes, adding to lists, and setting reminders. Simple set up using my Amazon Fire HD8.

Works amazing. Easy to set up and easy to use perfect for small spaces

nice size for carrying anything. Reasonable reasonably loud easy to use

got this product free with my ring doorbell. it is awesome. it sounds great. must have internet connection to use. i use it while in the shower and can hear it great while the water is running. it is loud. can also use bluetooth on it!

I use Alexa to get the weather, find out what time it is when I can't see a clock, and turn on/off my lights. The dot works every bit as well as a full size Alexa for far less money. Not a great speaker, but that's not what I use it for.

We really liked the previous version of this, but thought it may be time for an upgrade. Wow did they make this better. More attractive and way better sound and voice recognition than earlier models (even though those were good, too). Really LIKE it!

This is a great Alexa device. I have them all over, and can get information about anything, anywhere. This is much nicer than the prior version, and if you buy the hanger, you can keep it off the table and on the outlet. Wonderfully simple and esthtically pleasing product

Love this echo dot, when i'm running behind for work it tells me the time, the time it'll take me to get to work, play my favorite music while i'm getting ready, and answer nearly any question i ask. Definitely a purchase that was worth it!

It's my 5th one, so you know I like them. The speaker quality keeps getting better with every generation. Like the charcoal grey fabric a lot. You really can't beat the price and they set up in minutes if you have the app already.

I’m very pleased with this echo dot! Didn’t think it was going to be much better than the cheaper brand named ones, but the sound is room filling! Amazing so much sound quality comes out of such a small device! Looking at buying another in the near future!

I love Alexa devices. They are adding new skills! You can ask her to play music, set an alarm, arm your security system, for time and weather. You can get news updates etc. from her. You can also place them in a group so all devices run simultaneously from room to room.
