Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have an Echo Dot 2nd generation but this one looks a lot better. It doesn't look like an old piece of electronic device the one I already had. The design is great and the color goes with anything. It definitely sounds better than the 2nd generation but I would not recommend it for that reason alone. It is not worth it to replace it with this one. But if you - like me - are adding more of these to your house or are buying one for the first time, then this is the one. If you never owned an Alexa device before, you will find out that she can meet a lot of needs that you didn't even know you had. When I first brought one home, I actually thought that I had made a mistake but I ended up finding out that it could do a lot more than I expected: help me with language learning, with cooking, reading audio books, entertaining, and so much more. I just can't live without Alexa anymore and this Echo Dot is more attractive to the eye.

I’ve had some trouble with this one, cutting off and on,but overall these things are remarkable. I just say, “Set alarm for 6am and it’s done. I use it with Kasa plugs to turn on and off appliance. I love using it to play music too!

I like that I can play music from it but at the same time train it to connect to things around the house which is very easy

The Echo dot 3rd offers better sound quality but nothing to really write home about. It sounds better, feels better, it looks like a finished product. It works as well at previous models and does look richer on your bed stand or side table.

I like the 2nd Gen, but this 3rd Gen is a good improvement. The sound quality is a little better and it looks more modern/sleek.

Everyone in the family loves having echo dot in the bedroom for music, alarm, jokes, drop in calls! It's small and sleek looking too!

The Echo Dot 3rd generation has a better speaker quality than the old one. I also like the sleek, modern design.

My mom enjoys it. I love it. She can call me from Florida and tell me about her day.

Easy set up and use. Has many functions. Great quality and great sound. Great price.

I love everything about the Amazon Echo Dot 3rd. Gen. I have three of them in my home along with the Amazon Echo Studio. We use all of these Alexa products everyday in our home. The Gen 3 Echo Dot does a great job all by itself and it is all you need f you are on a budget and want to get started enjoying everything Alexa has to offer. It has a wonderful speaker so you will be surprised how much you enjoy how great the music sounds when you ask Alexa to play your favorite tunes.

Simple to set up and great for smart home usage with smart plugs and light switches. Love the music function. Got one for every room!

This is my second Alexa that sits in my parlor. The sound quality is great and set up is a breeze!

I have several Gen 2 echo Dot devices in my house already. I purchased this gen 3 echo dot after listening to it at a friend's house. I was so impressed by the sound quality that I needed to have one of these. The sound quality is far superior than the gen 2, and i wished i had this model all around my house instead. It does not sound "tinny" or like you're listening to a cell phone and It actually has bass! Aside from the general look and sound quality, it does everything the Gen 2 does, it just cost more.

The third generation Echo Dot has much better sound than the 2nd generation. It is good enough and loud enough that I can listen to most music without connecting to an external speaker. I have 2 2nd generation devices and 2 3rd generation devices. Each are connected to my TV through TIVO and my Ecobee thermostat. Both 2nd and 3rd generation seem to have the same software. They are OK but often get the commands wrong, and you have to pick the right words. For example, if I ask Alexa to change the channel it will change my TV channel through TIVO. If I ask Alexa to change the station, it will pick some Amazon or other station. Also it will sometimes tell me that it cannot find TIVO or Ecobee depending on the words that I use when asking. The bottom line is that I like the Echo Dot 3rd generation especially for the $25 that I paid for it and an Amazon smart plug.

I love the Echo Dot (3rd Gen). It is an upgrade from my older version which I used mainly for an alarm clock, the weather and trivia. Right off, the sound quality is better. I haven't tried all the options, but plan to have fun exploring the additional features that come with this model. An added plus is the irresistible price.

I love my Echo. It is easy to use. It responds well and the sound quality is great.

Love my Alexa. I mostly use it to play music, set reminders, and listen to the news.

This was a great buy. I lucked out and got a 2 for 1 special on the smart speakers. I previously bought a similar unit that was a different color and it projects the time on it so I can use it like an alarm clock. I like both of them, but the special allowed me to get two of the darker colored units without the clock for the same price that I paid for the one white speaker that works as a clock. Overall, I would recommend this smart speaker. It was easy to hook up and works well.

Love my 3rd gen echo dot. Great full sound and much better sound quality compared to my 2nd gen. Looks great on the table too.

Have been a bit skeptical of these. I was pleased to see that you can turn microphone off entirely if you want to do so. I still like to listen to the radio stations--all of my favorite stations are available for free from Tunein, Radio.com, etc. Can also set an alarm. Great replacement for my old clock-radio. And then there are all the other things Alexa can do, especially if you have smart thermostats, lights, locks, etc. Glad I bought it--and on sale, too.
