Customer Ratings & Reviews

Longer Review; After dragging my heels for over a year, I finally bought our first Echo (2nd Generation) back in August. I loved it so much that I got us 2 more for other areas in the house. Being able to group them and play the same music or audio throughout the house is a novelty that won't grow old for me. I've only wished that they had a little more full sound, especially at higher volume. I'd considered the last Echo Plus, but the average of reviews I read didn't make it appear to perform significantly better than our already great 2nd Generation Echos. When I saw this new Echo Plus listed, I pre-ordered it to "replace" the Heather Grey Echo in our kitchen and move that one to our bedroom. We tend to have music playing in the kitchen more than any other room, and I wanted slightly better sound than the regular Echo in there. I'm honestly glad we took a chance on this device without any reviews to go by.

I received this speaker free with my purchase of my ring doorbell and I love it! The sound quality is amazing and to say this speaker is so small and compact it packs alot of bass and gets very loud.

I’m not a technical person at all but Amazon makes it easy for even a novice to set this up. The speaker is surprisingly good and I like that the devices can be connected together to have the same music playing all over the house.

Thanks Amazon for creating such another amazing product. Perfect for basic smart home speaker. Great sound, sounds awesome. Ask anything to Alexa! Great for bedrooms and anywhere else. I use it for a intercom for my sons room upstairs and I use my echo show 5. My son uses it everyday for an alarm clock and just about anything. Great smart speaker, would highly recommended the echo dot for your next smart speaker. On top of device ha mute, minus and plus sound, and turn off mic buttons for easy use. Very easy to setup thru the Alexa app. 5 stars hope you enjoy too, thanks Amazon.

Good things come in small package! Great sound. Perfect size to for under my mounted tv. Easy to set up ,program and use.

So my house has become more and more of a “connected home” over the years, and the Amazon Echo Dot truly does showcase the features of what a modern day Smart home can do for you. First off, you have Amazon’s Alexa, which is a standalone winner just with how it integrates with Amazon customers. Furthermore, you add to that the features like voice control to adjust things like thermostat settings, home security, home audio/theater, and it eliminates having to fiddle with your phone or tablet trying to find a corresponding app because all you have to do is speak your command and just like that, it’s done!

Product was simple to set up. This is actually the second echo dot I purchased. Having two works well in my mother's apartment. She is 90 years old and this allows her to call for help in any room she is in. Much cheaper than subscribing to a service that would do basically the same thing. Mom has the ability to call her friends by name or get emergency assistance. I also have the ability from my Echo Dot in my house to "drop in" on her if I can't get her by phone.

Well I have to say this is a neat little device. Really we could have cared less about getting one but it was a free promotion with something else we bought so here we are. It was a nice surprise to find out that it is compatible already with all the other stuff we have been adding to our house over the last several years - thermostat, security system, smart plugs/bulbs etc. We can tell it to turn on lights, set the heat, set the alarm etc. I think if you have any of that or plan to get any of it then this is a nice compliment to all of that. I think if we didn't have any of that though it wouldn't be very cool by itself. It is a lot of fun and it's very easy to get used to. In fact after a couple weeks using it you find yourself trying to talk to other things you own :) Enjoy.

Great sound, compact easy placement and easy to set up with plug and play. Good price. The only thing I would’ve liked is the time display. However I learned that’s a different model.

Use this primarily as a bathroom speaker it gets the job done. Small but louder than your grandma yelling for Sunday supper. Definitely recommend

The 3rd generation Dot looks better and works better than the 2nd generation. The speaker is better too. We use all our Echo devices as an intercom system using the drop in feature. All in all this is an excellent device.

Great little speaker for the price. Love the functionality and ability to work with Alexa app to work with shopping lists. Play music and more.

I love love love my Echos!!!!! I use mine to set alarms and reminders and while working around the house, it's easy to add to my shopping list when I find out I'm almost out of something and it's small enough to mix well with any room's decor. I would love one for my car and other rooms. I also play music on mine, ask the temperature outside and many other questions.

Good speaker sound, very easy to set up and pair this is the 2nd one we own. I love that it can literally connect with any device.

Received this product as a gift with a purchase, and I have to say it's been great using it. I have it in the dining area because it's usually where I have my get togethers, and the sound quality is really good, I usually have to turn the volume down so we can have a proper conversation. Easy to turn on and off, all around a great product.

Still new at this, but I do know if you connect Alexa to a home hub system, she can do so much more. But for now, we can ask her simple questions like the weather or date. She also plays music from I heart radio.

Since having many Echo devices in my home, along with the original of this device, we are quite comfortable with Alexa helping us and entertaining us. Upgrading my Gen 1 Dot to this Gen 3 is worth every penny (even though not too many pennies as it was on sale!). The sound is much fuller and responsiveness is quite a bit better. The look and feel with the Gen 3, with it's cloth type covering and different colors available set it far above the Gen 1 Echo. Amazon has made the setup for these almost "knucklehead-proof" (which is me) Whether dabbing you toe for the first time in the Amazon Echo waters, or like me wanted an upgrade, this is worth the purchase!

Great sound, great look. Easy to connect and use. Size is great, too!

Paired this with our new Insignia tv for easy control. It connected easily to our larger Alexa, and it has great sound for a small unit!

In our effort to 'cut the cable' we chose to upgrade an expand our Amazon horizons. That is how we found this bundle deal. We saved about half by the total price and got a Fire TV Stick and this 3rd Gen Echo Dot. I tried to give a solemn goodbye to the old Gen 1 Alexa but she was still too dumb to understand. Since the easiest install ever, I turned it on and it told me to open my mobile Alexa app and show it my wifi. Then magically it was set up! I am on a Trial Prime Music (3 months) that got me another 3rd Gen Alexa and thousands of my favorite songs for under 10 bucks, I discovered I can play music to all my Dots at once! Very happy with my Best Buy purchase.
