Customer Ratings & Reviews

You’ll be able to use it to control smart home devices, search for information from the web, play music, and more. But the best thing about it is how inexpensive it is. The design of the speaker is also pretty nice.

It's nice to be able to ask Alexa about the time, about the weather forecast, to set a timer, and most of all (with a Prime membership) to play music. Hook it up to a larger sound system for richer sound, but the Dot itself has acceptable sound if you just want background music while you're working on something around the house.

I now have 5 of these around the house. Slowly converting light switches to be controlled. Alexa can control my robot vacuum, play my spotify music, remind me of appointments, keep my shopping list, turn on the Christmas lights and tell me the weather conditions from my weather station. I'm in nerd heaven!

Easy to setup and use. Nice speaker sound. Great information tool.

Great sound Great easy setup Great now that I can use Apple Music.

loving my new speaker, very loud and the quality is good

Love our Alexa devices. We have them in every room now thanks to this add-on from Best Buy. We have both editions of the Show as well as the Spot and the towers. Now the dot has joined out family. Of course it’s just a little guy but perfect for the guest room.

Excellent price and very useful item. Easy to set up too.

Setup is easy the sound quality is great. The response is one point

These little things are cool and loud. Very easy to use and set up!

I use the Echo Dot for listening to podcasts, iHeartRadio radio, turn lights on or off, and much more, works great with easy installation.

Very easy to set up and has great sound quality for a small device.

BestBuy's 2/$50 deal is definitely the way to go if you live in a house. It preforms exactly as advertised: Music, simple tasks, and info. The 3rd gen Dot's speaker is more than adequate for music listening. Sync and then place in different areas of the house and they can act as an intercom. Getting Alexa to work with different smart devices can be a little challenging because many of these devices require separate controllers or a `bridge' for the different technologies to interface. If you plan to fully unlock Alexa's potential and convert to a smart house, it can be quite expensive.

Fills my room with wonderful sound, and looks great while doing it.

I have come to like the Echo models with screens better. They are more pricey, but they also do more. Some of them also have larger speakers, so the sound quality is better. I have had this model and also the basic Google model. I came to like this better. I do a good bit of smart home control with these and I like the response and also the quality of the voice. For an entry-level device, this does a decent job. I have given some of these to friends as gifts and they and their children have enjoyed them.

Excellent sound , good size , and Alexa now is bilingual

Purchased this for my in-laws to add another device in their house. Now they have three in the house - one in the bedroom, kitchen & office so Alexa is readily available. They love the convenience of controlling lights, music, etc all by voice command & also the ability to broadcast from room to room. Great price and so easy to set up. Highly recommend it.

Easy to setup and use. Sound quality is good for its size.

Bought the Echo to stream music to my Sony stereo receiver that does not have Blue Tooth capability. I have Sirius / XM and I can now play the XM streaming service thru my whole house stereo system. Just need a 3.5mm to RCA stereo audio cable and plug it into the back of the Echo Dot audio line out and the other end into your stereo receiver. I can also Blue Tooth my iPad music thru the Echo Dot from my ITunes library. Set up was easy using the Alexa app and I like the low profile of the unit on my entertainment center.

Easy set up. Paired with other devices. Use it all the time.
