Customer Ratings & Reviews

Significant upgrade over gen 1. Much louder, clearer sounds for Music and detects your voice better. Also nice that it has a built in battery to move without loosing power. So far happy with the upgrade.

I have an original tall 1st gen Echo, which sounds really good for what it is and I firmly believe that these 3rd gen Dots sound as good or better than the original 1st gen Echo. What a difference a few years makes in the tech! The look of the 3rd gen Dot is also more complementary to the house decor.

Sound is very clear and microphone is very sensitive despite surrounding noises. Alexa works great on it. Impressive sound for its size!

It was free, and I wanted another anyway, to compliment the three other Echo devices in my house. Sound is not quite as good as the 4th gen. IMHO, but not bad either. We use this in my music practice area to call up versions of songs my band is working on. It's also nice when grouped for the whole house with the other devices.

Great addition to your smart home line up. Requires minimal experience on setting up smart home products, directions provided were easy to follow. Only downfall is the responsiveness due to our signal strength WiFi and router placement. Great if you have echo as well so you can talk to each other in different rooms.

This is an excellent little speaker. It is very easy to set up and performs well under adverse conditons.

You can’t be a Smart home for turning on lights or to ask questions. I have 3 of these now. Two 3rd generation and one 2nd generation. Wife loves listening to podcasts or music by Bluetooth thru it. Only con is Echo has issues re-hooking up to WiFi after an outage. You have to use Amazon Alexa App to re-pair it frequently. Not for your mom or dad with no tech skills or you’ll be over at their house all the time fixing. I have a Google Home Mini and has no issues after an outage so my choice vs Echo.

I Love My Device . coming home from work n Listening to my worship music. sound is perfect.

Had some points I had to use before they expire so looked around the store and didn’t know what I wanted then I thought of Alexa . So I got the echo and I love it . I play music on it . You can play rain falling so you can go to sleep easily. I recommend it .

This was amazing, I use it to play my music and use it to ask all different types of questions and it solves all of them. Amazing item!

We now have several of these throughout the house. Works great for controlling different items such as lights and plugs, however we like it most for the music. It is nice having the same music playing throughout the house.

My college student loves it!! Compact size is wonderful for moving to different areas. Has the same great clarity of larger models.

We love our amazon echo dot. We received it as a gift with another Best Buy order and it facilitates our cleaning groove. With a single voice command without having to stop our cleaning/working out to change the song or answer phone calls.

It is okay. I actually prefer the google home mini but this product is actually pretty close. It is useful for many things like controlling your smart home. I got it for free in a promotion but if you must buy an echo, I would recommend the new one. Hey google or ok google is harder to mishear than “Alexa” which sounds like lots of things including being an actual person’s name. I keep this device unplugged to avoid unintentional eaves dropping.

I never really wanted this. It came free with another purchase, and I probably would never have bought it on my own. That said, I am really impressed with the quality of the voice recognition and the accuracy of its responses. I don't use it often, but it does come in pretty handy at times.

It came with the Ring doorbell I purchased from best buy. It is very helpful item for the ring doorbell users. It announces that there is some body at your front door or there is motion at the front door, even if the person does not ring the door bell. This item has many other uses besides door bell announcements.

This is a great little gadget, it is fun and functional. I know, it is first world problems when you are too lazy to reach for your iPad or laptop to ask Alexa a question. We probably don't use the Dot to its full potential or capacity, but for the small cost paid, I am fine. It is fun and functional...do it!

The 3rd gen echo Dot is great. This is a central part of our family room. The dot has been linked and setup to automate a lot of our household. Lights, TV, gaming, alarm and so on all can be activated and monitored with a few voice commands. Really great addition to the household!

excellent item. Easy to use and set up. Sound quality is fantastic. would buy again

I’m not usually an Alexa kind of guy. I’m more of a google assistant guy. Don’t have anything against it just prefer it. It’s compatible with my Samsung smart things products so it’s getting put to good use with my TVs and lights and other electronic devices I have set up through out the house.
