Customer Ratings & Reviews

Alexa is so helpful I have mine connected to my Phillips hue lights and my nest thermostat. I can control everything. She tells great stories appreciates when you say please and thank you. Just a great lady ;)

these newer dots are good fir putting around the house like i have done. i have one in the rooms i spend the most time in. it controls several lights for us and is necessary in our iot hone.

I glad I finally purchased this device. It’s been interesting and somewhat enjoyable to use voice for most everything. So far I’m pleased and impressed that this small device can do so much.

My elderly mother absolutely had to have one for Christmas. I got it for her, set it up, and got it going without a hitch. It works really well and the music sounds great out of it. I linked several skills for Mom at her request such as the InTouch Devotional program and Pandora very easily. I really have no complaints. My elderly mother; however, feels differently. This is not the Echo Dot's fault. Mom just doesn't understand how Alexa works and they have a stormy relationship. She thinks Alexa doesn't listen, but Alexa does. She thinks Alexa doesn't answer correctly, but Alexa tries as hard as it can to decipher what Mom is trying to say. Mom doesn't understand that a music subscription is needed for Alexa to play the music she wants right away. I warned Mom about all of this, but she thought she and Alexa would live well together. They do not. Over the last year, Alexa has been moved slowly more and more out of the way. The last time I was at Mom's house, Alexa had disappeared. At least Alexa has found peace. Bottom line, if one is not internet savvy, they will not much enjoy the Echo Dot. If they know how the internet works, they will enjoy it.

I primarily use this as a bluetooth speaker for music with the occasional command to see what the weather will be today. Alexa is very responsive, and the quality of the sound is surprisingly good. Plus I think the design is pretty sleek. If you can get this on sale like I did (Amazon products go on huge sales a lot), you will not be disappointed.

The new echo dot just keeps getting better. Great sound and improved functionality. Great buy for the price to start any smart home. Plus a great buy to add music to every room without wiring the entire house.

It is easy to set up by downloading the Alexa app and also easy to pair with Alexa compatible devices such as smart plugs. I bought this when it’s on sale and it indeed is a great item to buy.

I got this free with the purchase of the ring flood light camera. It was easy to setup and connect to my internet. It picks up sound really well and understands commands really well as well.

Great devices - 3rd gen is good. I prefer the sound if the 2nd Gen. I have two 3rd gen with wall mounts to hide cable paired with an echo sub for a great 2.1 music system.

Louder speaker and sleek design give this a much need modern twist. Love the speaker. I use these to control devices in different rooms of my house and the gen 3 is the best yet! highly recommended.

We have several different Amazon Echo units for our family and the latest Echo Dot is a helpful addition to expand where we can use it. Easy setup, good sound, great job doing what it needs to do.

I was hesitant at first to purchase a smart home assitance device, however, I am more than pleased with it. I now own 3 of them around the house.

Purchased for my child, very helpful in keeping them organized and updated. The speaker quality is nice too! Totally worth the reasonable price.

The 3rd gen Dot sounds a lot better than the 2nd gen. The device is loud and the sound is richer. Now I want to upgrade my existing 2nd gen devices. Almost too hard to pass up when they are on sale.

This Echo Dot works exactly as advertised. Easy to use and sounds pretty good considering how small it is.

For under $30, this smart speaker is great. Sound quality is on par with a speaker system that costs ten times the price and the compact design makes it easy to setup anywhere. Overall great value.

How can you go wrong for $18.00!! I have 3 of these in my house now so that every room has sound and voice controls. Easy to use and the sound quality for $18 is perfect!

For the price (free with a Ring camera) this is a great gadget. Now we don't have to get up to look up who starred in Die Hard or turn off our kitchen lights - amazing!

I love my Echo Dot!! I have several of them around the house and use them quite alot. I love asking questions to see what kind of answer I get. It also works great with the Ring Security.

While the previous Echo Dots were cheap ways to extend smart home control all over your home, they weren't the most attractive devices and had weedy sounds. The Amazon Echo Dot (3rd Gen) as a vast improvement on the originals, even though it costs exactly the same. The new finish looks fantastic and the new Echo Dot is a device that you'd happily put out on show. Audio has been dramatically improved, too, both in terms of quality and loudness, which makes Alexa easier to understand and means that the odd bit of music or radio is a possibility. If you're looking to put Alexa in more rooms, then this is the device to buy.
