Customer Ratings & Reviews

This thing is great. Sounds pretty good for the size, and I can even control my Amazon TV with it.

The speaker on this is amazing compared to the generation 2. The volume can be on 2 and it is still loud.

Very handy. Plays music, great for reminders and hands down the beat alarm I’ve ever had!

The Echo Dot is a great addition to the Alexa family. The Dot seemingly can do whatever its big brother, the Echo, can do. I use the Echo for my primary Alexa device with four Dots scattered throughout the house. To me, the only difference might be in the quality of sound from the speaker. The Dot will give you easy access to music, information, and weather simply by asking Alexa. Every Friday Amazon sends an email “Whst’s New With Alexa”. It is always evolving

I have 4 echo dots, 2 echos, echo tap, and an echo show (all 1st gen) throughout the house and you can definitely tell the upgrades with the new echo dot. This new dot is so loud, especially compared to the other dots, and Amazon has done a great job of improving the mic. If the music is really loud the older echos will have a hard time hearing you when you say “Alexa.” This new dot does a great job of being able to hear you when the music is loud.

We bought an Echo Plus (2nd generation) and an Echo Dot (3rd generation) at the same time. We targeted the Plus because it was advertised as having better sound quality and could operate other smart equipment (light bulbs, etc.) Surprisingly to us, the Echo Dot's sound quality was very good - not quite as good as the Plus's, but still very good. So, now, we've bought some additional Echo Dots and enjoy the high quality sound in multiple rooms.

I got this third generation Echo Dot free with a purchase of a smart thermostat this holiday season. The Dot works great with all of my "smart" appliances and the sound is noticeably better than the first generation dot.

Works great. Love that I can play music on it and not have to use my phone or a radio. Easy to set up and use.

This is by far greater then the 2nd Gen. The sound of this Amazon - Echo Dot 3rd Gen just blew me away when I heard it for the very first time. It literally filled the entire room with its robust sound. This is a purchase that I will never regret. I ended up buying 5 more and I just need 3 more and I'll have every room and hallways filled with my music. they can all play the same thing at the same time or whatever I prefer to listen to in a particular room.

A little bigger than the dot 2nd generation but better all around. And sounds a lot better when playing music.

This is my 2nd one I love it Crisp clear sound Best price Good value for the money

I love Alexa, this device really surprised me, sounds good an easy to install.

great, easy to pair with smart devices, straight forward set up

This little thing is so fun to play with. They sound great and it is simple to use.

Sound quality is great with a small footprint. Easy to set up via app.

There are many things to love about the dot. It small and isn’t the first thing you see but it does so much.

Have a few Echo Dots and this is my first 3rd Gen...and it is definitely better in every category...sounds better and looks better than my Gen 2's. Will hopefully upgrade my 2 's in the near future and donate them to local convalescent home so the infirmed can use them for entertainment and communicate with friends and family and not feel so lonely. In fact I am going to set them up for each person and teach them hoe to use them now that I think of it.

Echo Dot is an inexpensive way to control a better stand alone speaker and does this well.

This is a pretty helpful lil guy right here, i was looking for something for my girl for xmas and i didnt really wanna go all out on one thing. So this was one of several and im excited for her to get it. I have my own and its connected to my lamps and tv and thermostat and once its all hooked up it feels like im literally living on a spaceship where i can command it what to do lol!! The best buy staff also hooked me up with a smart bulb on the house...love it!

When i bought this i wasn’t expecting a huge sound to come out of the speaker, and i wasnt wrong. I use this for background music for my front room, Bass quality isnt good but it isnt bad. It is responsive to your voice and easier to interact with the alexa app.
