Customer Ratings & Reviews

At the request of a nursing home activity director, I purchased four Amazon - Echo Dot (3rd gen) devices as gifts for some nursing home residents. It's a great device to provide residents with many listening options. Aside from connecting the device to WiFi the voice activated use is simple and easy. If my budget would have allowed it then I would have purchased more than 4 devices.

This is my second device; I own the 2nd generation and there is an amazing improve with sound and appearance. This one I use without any other speaker because the sound quality its amazing for a small room. Also, the voice detection improves the answer from Alexa, having the dot understanding almost everything from a considered distance. Besides that, all the apps keep working without any issue. Finally, appearance its much better with that fabric around the device.

Great sound, easy to use and helpful. I've purchased 3 for different areas of the house. All on sale and a good buy.

So far I'm very happy with the echo dot, works as expected, great sound, super easy to use, and adds music all iver our home.

Set up was easy. Compatible with many smart devices. Small enough to use anywhere around the house. Have it set up with my Google calendar, music accounts, podcasts, etc. Looking forward to upgrading and enhancing devices at home to control and access thru actual echo or even my cell phone when away from home.

The latest gen Echo Dot serves as a central hub for music in the dining room as well as quick information gathering (and measurement conversions during cooking). Alexa will occasionally throw out the random tidbit on functionality but overall it has good use in our home!

Originally got this to listen to my Amazon music account in my office, but was pleasantly surprised at the sound. Ultimately I moved this to my living room then realized that the one feature that I'm thrilled about is the ability to connect on the fly to a stereo receiver via Bluetooth when I'm ready to shake the house. Whenever I turn on the stereo, it automatically connects, and I'm ready to go. Very pleased with this purchase.

Love being able to set alarms, timers, listen to music, weather, and so much more.

Enjoy using this device, easy to program, compact size allows for placement anywhere, lots of features!

We bought two of these. We have the large one and these are two additional little ones. One is used mainly for a speaker to play music in a workout room and the other one is in the bedroom. We have it paired with a couple smart bulbs so it is nice to be able to turn on the lights with our voice when entering the room. It is also convenient if we remembered something to add to the grocery list or to play sleepy music at night.

Works great with my tv’s. I love it. It was easy to connect and no problems with working with my wifi

Easy to set up for first time Alexa users. Clear speakers.

I wouldn’t have bought this since I previously received a Google Home Mini as a Xmas gift but I received this as a free add-on item when I purchased my Ring alarm. For me both the Mini & this Dot do pretty much the exact same thing except for 2 things. 1, I can activate/disactivate my Ring alarm through this Dot. I believe they are both technically owned by Amazon so it makes sense they work together & not the Google Home Mini & #2, when you ask them to tell a joke, Alexa is funnier than Google.

I purchased the Echo Dot hoping it would allow me to hear my cell phone ring when I’m in my basement and have left the phone upstairs. That didn’t work out but it has other useful features. It still makes calls, plays music or gives me the news and with a smart bulb it lights up my laundry room. Overall, I’m happy with my purchase.

Great product with great sound and quality! Doesn't take up too much space!

These do the job for me, mostly because I use it as only marginally more than a voice-activated music player. Is Amazon listening to my conversations? Probably, but I'm pretty boring anyway. The speaker itself is acceptable for the small size, and is easy to hide. I wouldn't say there's anything outstanding, but for a product you can regularly find for $25 or less, what do you expect?

Love the echo dots. Great sound. Easy to sync with all devices

My mom loved to ask Alexa to do things like play music , ask questions , the weather . Great speaker .

The sound quality is much improved over the earlier generation Amazon Echoes. You get more volume and better base tones.

Echo Dot is a hands-free, voice-controlled device that uses the same far-field voice recognition as Amazon Echo. Dot has a small built-in speaker - it can also connect to your speakers over Bluetooth or with the included audio cable. Dot connects to the Alexa Voice Service to play music, provide information, news, sports scores, weather, and more - instantly. Echo Dot can hear you from across the room, even while music is playing
