Customer Ratings & Reviews

Our main purpose for our Echo Dot is to listen to internet radio. We are very pleased with the sound quality and ease of use. We also enjoy the quick response when needing information. It’s a bit frustrating occasionally when Alexa can’t seem to understand what we are requesting and we need to repeat the radio station several times. That has been the only small negative. Alexa’s voice is very pleasant and courteous: it’s like having a new friend. We haven’t even begun to take advantage of the countless ways that Alexa can be of assistance.

Very easy to use and setup. Can place anywhere in the house. Not the best for great music sound, but very clear to understand commands and vice control. Good enough to be the main smart speaker in the house or a great add on to others. small enough to hide in any home décor.

Not a bad price for a smart speaker. It automatically connects to my phone and I can even ask it simple questions. At the same price of a regular set of speakers, this one is a no brainer for me.

I love this latest model so much! It’s perfect! It’s easy to manipulate and the quality is an “A+” for me.

Easy to use easy to set up great sound great price

I am so happy to have decided to purchase Alexa! She is absolutely a hoot, a definite entertainment piece if you’re bored! Plus she helps me remember important things going on, my shopping list, my playlist so I can listen to whatever fits my mood at the moment. She is small enough that I placed her on the bar in my dining room and she doesn’t clutter it up. I ended up buying a second one and put it downstairs in my office. I can communicate with both of them and leave messages for my kids when they are downstairs. She will play games with you, give you weather information and answer questions that require internet research.

Perfect size for my international college student son in a shared house, loud enough, but not too loud when used as a radio. Small enough to travel with and easy to set up whether at home or abroad. The alarm clock function is a great thing!

I was an early adopter to the Amazon Alexa products from the beginning. I have at least one over each of the products around the home, creating a complete music, voice controlled, drop-in mesh around the house. Recently I've been upgrading my 1st Gen Dots to these 3rd Gen Dots, due to their better speaker, better sound field and overall nicer aesthetic. The 3rd Gen Dot is 0.6" larger in diameter than the original dot, and is 0.4" taller that its 1st Gen brother. The speaker is 0.5" larger and is 12dB louder. It has an enhanced ability to connect to streaming services, making it a lot more user friendly. Having them in various rooms around the house means you aren't shouting to one central location! (Believe me, I used to do that!). Doing so also allows you to set up multi-room music, and also to 'drop-in' on different rooms in the house, just like an intercom. Great for making announcements (dinner's ready, wake up etc). Overall, very happy with the upgrade to the 3rd Gen model.

Echo dot is easy to use and helps me keep my household connected. I use it for alarms, communicating with family members in different parts of the house and automating lights. We have one in almost every room now and plan to get a couple more!

So we've become slightly addicted to Alexa in our house. This is our 4th Echo-type device. I like what this compact piece of gear brings. While not as loud as our full-size Echoes or Echo Show, this thing has some decent sound. Looks great too. Super awesome being able to control Hue light bulbs with your voice.

I use my Echo mostly for its smart home functions, but its other functions are also convenient. The speaker sounds fine to me in my opinion. Great pricing for its many uses. It's easy to use and setup. Its size makes it so that it can fit virtually anywhere. Also great to chat with when you're bored.

I love this little toy!!! I can't say enough. It is compact and powerful. No more stumbling into dark rooms trying to find the light switch. If a song comes to mind all I do is ask Alexa to find it...hands free! The weather is no longer a guessing game! LOVE, Love, love!!!

Great little device, I received it free for purchasing the Echo Show 2nd generation along with a Phillips hue light bulb, great promotion from BestBuy Includes Echo Dot (3rd gen) and Amazon Smart Plug – everything you need to start your smart home. Echo Dot is our most popular voice-controlled speaker, now with improved sound and a new design. With Echo Dot and Amazon Smart Plug, you can add voice control to any outlet. Ask Alexa to play music, answer questions, read the news, check the weather, set alarms, control compatible smart home devices, and more. Simple to set up and use—plug in, open the Alexa app, and start using your voice. With 4 far-field microphones, Alexa hears you from across the room. And with compatible Echo devices in different rooms, you can fill your whole home with music. No smart home hub required—set up routines and schedules through the Alexa app. Amazon Smart Plug is for indoor use only, works exclusively with Alexa, and must be connected through a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network.

Amazon Echo Dot 3rd Gen | for me and as gifts. Easy install and setup. I have multiples for all the bedrooms. I am connected throughout the home. Use for information, music, to do lists, alarms and notifications. I'm sure I'll find more uses down the line.

I love the deeper volume/bass the 3rd gen has over the first gen. Setup is very easy and there are so many more uses than music, weather, jokes, alarms and timers. Linking to smart bulbs, smart light switches and smart power outlets makes "The Clapper" a thing of the past. Turning your TV off/on, volume contol, fireTV stick contol, no problem! My favorite (most used) feature is the DROP IN feature. I have a 3 story house and it is a pain to walk down 2 flights of stairs from my office to ask a simple question on 1st floor then go back upstairs. You can link 2 echo dots together and say "Alexa, drop in on kitchen" and the Echo Dots will link together like a wireless intercom. If you only have one Echo Dot, you can use a mobile device with the Alexa app from anywhere in the world to "drop in" on your echo dot. It can also be used as a hands free speaker phone to dial out even when your mobile device is not present. It will establish a VoIP call and your mobile number will be displayed on the device that you are calling.

This was an update from my 2nd generation echo Dot and I'm glad I got it. It's bigger and looks more appealing with the ring around. It sounds great and has good multiple uses for my household. I especially like that it hears me better and from a farther distance than the previous generation.

I love the compact size of his Echo. It fits nicely on the corner of my desktop without being too noticeable. It is very sleek looking. Was very easy to set up and Best Buy threw in a smart lightbulb, which I had no problems syncing up.

Great sound. Just wish it had a built in battery so it would not need to be plugged in all the time to use it. Small footprint too. I use it with my phone, makes the music sound so much better. I would definitely recommend this to a friend and have already don so.

I got this for free with the purchase of another product. It was a sale thing best buy had going on and I didn't even know. I already listened to amazon music that comes with prime, so once I installed the alexa app and started using this, it's been great. So easy to use, and Alexa can hear you even when playing music or there are loud noises around. You can talk to the device, or use the app from your phone to change songs. I have created play lists, so all I have to do it tell alexa to play a certain play list. Works great and if this dies for whatever reason I will have to buy another one for sure. The only down side to it is that my kids love to play with alexa, so they talk to her all the time. Play this and play that. Since many things they want are not included with prime, alexa asks them if they want to upgrade to amazon music the paid subscription, and they say YES. Oh well, then I have to cancel.

I got one of these on every room posible at home not only helps me with all my compatible items from light switches, tvs, fans, lights and more but also makes my summer visitors to feel great when they come a spent some time with us. Specially my mom which is a Senior. She can lay down at bed and she can turn lights off, turn tv or stand lights on and off whenever she wants and if the air turns too much cool she can turn on the heater without leaving the comfort of her bed, that’s an A+++ for me.
