Customer Ratings & Reviews

I received this as a free promotional item when I purchased a Fire TV. This is my second introduction to Amazon's Alexa integration products. It's great for controlling the new TV by voice (although the included remote with the TV also allowed this feature) Easy setup and took some reading of the manual with the Fire TV to figure out the integration. I can't say I would put this in every room of the house but an interesting addition to the TV. I was disappointed that the Fire TV I purchased would not integrate the sound very effectively. There is a WiFi option but the TV or the Dot would not support the connection regarding audio setup with the TV. My only audio connection with the Fire TV was via Bluetooth and for some reason the audio on the Dot was very low. So low that it was not usable for that purpose and I removed the Bluetooth pairing. Not sure what would need to take place to ensure WiFi audio pairing with a Fire TV but otherwise OK.

Got it for free with my insignia tv purchase. Learning to control the tv with it. The best part of it is I programmed it to wake me up in the morning and can’t do it without it now! My iPhone yelled at me. Alexa is so sweet! Use it to pay relaxing songs to go to sleep! Love it

This came as a bonus gift when purchasing Ring Video Doorbell 2. I would never have purchased it, otherwise. That said, We are very happy with this addition to our home devices! We never expected it would become a part of household routines for listening to music, alarms, notices of deliveries, and perhaps best of all-making our grocery list!! Thank you Amazon, Ring and Best Buy for a great gift we never knew we needed!

We loved our 2nd Gen dot for why we needed it for. When this one came out we decided to get it as it had louder sound and a new design. We have no complaints! The unit is easy to set up and paid to our receiver for fuller sound. At $25 it was a steal! While we use it for the basics (lights, timers, and music...) we love it for what we use it for. If you’re curious, this is a great entry level home assistant! Enjoy with confidence!

I've amassed a pile of these over the past year and a half. I started out with my first dot that took the place of my alarm clock. Then I started asking for the time and weather reports. I now use them to listen to prime music and navigation thru echo auto, making shopping lists, turning on and off lights, and setting reminders. I started out small but am building my relationship with Alexa dsily.

Packs a punch over the older generation Echo products. The sound quality is great, especially when you consider the size. It was a great stocking filler - if you're looking for a quality smart speaker at a reasonable price you can do no wrong!

The echo dot makes life easy and fun Easy to use, even our four year old can be understood Normally understands commands on first attempt We added switches and plugs for the Dot to control. Switch installation wasn’t hard for my husband- didn’t even take 30 minutes. Plugs were as simple as plug in add the app and tell Alexa to turn them on and off. Great device - we will be adding more in different areas of the house.

Sets alarms,tells local weather and plays music. Easy to connect to other devices

I really like the Amazon Echo Dot. It was very easy to set up and is easy to use. I haven't used it much yet expect for playing music, but it always finds me good selections when I ask for a certain kind of music. I really like when you ask it to do something, you don't have to scream in it, it picks up a soft voice command. I know it can do much more than what I've had a chance to use it for.

Good sound for small device that takes up little space. Easy to use for music, etc

The Echo was recommended for apple devices. Basic set up was easy. Adding addition links is more challenging. Wanted to add iTunes library and directions did not match what is on the screen. Still trying to work through it. This is for my son and he is enjoying it. The speaker sounds good. He likes being able to ask questions and getting immediate answers. Bought a WEMO plug that works well with it. Set up was several steps.

I must say. I am a Huge Apple fan and a HomePod owner. While we’re not discussing sound. Alexa AI is far superior to Siri. I must admit I wouldn’t have bought this if I hadn’t gotten it for free. But now... this Echo Dot can do so much. So many voice commands to connect to my thermostat ring video doorbell etc. I must say I’m in love. It can get pretty loud too. But the sound quality is not even close by more than half to my Homepod. But this little dot packs a punch and does more than I ever imagined it would. So if your looking to purchase you won’t be disappointed. You need to download the app on your phone and connect it to your devices. But after that it’s one of the best

Put this one down stairs in the family room. Recently broke my hip. Only place I can get comfortable is in my recliner in the family room. Since we have one in almost every room I can stay in my recliner and still be in touch with everyone throughout the house. It is very handy to have and there are plenty of fun apps as well.

Very easy to set up and use. Been using it for several weeks without experiencing any issues. Clarity is excellent when listening to podcasts, news or music. Alexa is able to answer most questions. Highly recommend.

the new 3rd generation echo dot is very good. easy to set up . better sound and better styling.

This is a great first step to getting used to Alexa. Great speaker for listening to music in a smaller room. Loud enough to hear if you ask her a question. Easy to use and hook up.

We got this as a free gift to go with the ring doorbell pro. We never thought we would like this so much. We already had wifi light bulbs and a wall plug and was able to integrate it with the dot. I liked it so much we now have this one in the bedroom, a dot in the basement and i bought an echo plus for the upstairs. the plus it very good sounding. I have all my music,lights and tv controlled by alexa!! all by voice!!

Alexa has been useful for telling me the weather and reminding me of my schedule. The sound quality on the speaker is also great for listening to music and the design of the third generation would look aesticaly pleasimg in pretty much any room.

Love Alexa! This speaker is compact and very easy to move around! Excellent Value speaker with all the Alexa features!

the amazon-echo dot is an essential part of my home. We find so many uses that we decided to give one to a friend that did not have one. We use the echo dot as a speaker, a timer, an essential part of home automation, a master of all knowledge, a pleasant way to wake in the morning and a cooking assistant.
