Customer Ratings & Reviews

Quick and easy set up even for the average/not super tech savvy person. Works as expected and easy to add skills. I mostly use it for music and the sound quality is just fine in my open kitchen/ living room. The one thing I wish is that this would work without being plugged in but then, how would they make as much money if you didn't have to buy one for every room you wanted it in.

I own over a half dozen Echo's. This third gen Dot has about as good a sound as the first gen full size Echo. While lacking in bass, it makes up with ease of use and size. I have four of my Echo's set up in the multiroom audio, which makes it nice to listen to music throughout the house. Catch this on sale and it's a great deal.

Great smart speaker with easy integration to smart appliances. I loved the ease with which it can understand different accents to make control of various smart devices really easy. The looks snd asthetics have been perfected over the years to suite modern looking consoles and media devices.An okay speaker for news and casual radio

The Echo dot is very convenient, you can start your music, you can change your home temperature (i have an eco bee 4), you can check your amazon orders, check the weather and etc. easy to change places, if you want to bring it to your bathroom and listen music to while you shower yiu can, if you want to cook listing to your echo you also can. Very easy to use and a great help during the day.

I have a few of these smart home devices placed conveniently around the house to control my other smart home devices (LED light bulbs, speakers, Ring Doorbell 2). I like how the quality is pretty good, nice and very stylish, great product from Amazon! Highly recommended for kids room so that they can stream Amazon music and you can drop in and have a two-way convo.

I never understood the hype for the echo dot, I mean, how useful could a hockey puck sized speaker be? Well, now I understand. The echo dot is small but packs a punch. I put it in my bathroom and use to all the time to listen to music while getting ready. It’s easy to pair to other steaming services or you can easily pull songs from amazon music. A must have for any home!

Great easy set up Good speaker for price Good looking

This speaker is a great entry-level Alexa device. It has a stylish design, a loud sound, and a 3.5mm jack. It can control smart home devices, play music, and answer questions. It is easy to use and reliable. It is a good value for money. I rate it 5 stars.

I can only review this as a first time user with this type device. I've had it a couple weeks now and it is really a fun thing to have around. It was easy to set up, and thus far has worked well. I purchased a few smart light switches and plugs. They, on the other hand, were a little trickier to get going, but ;ike everything tech, got easy after the first connect. Connecting the plugs and switches to the wifi took a try or two, but connecting them to the Dot was simple. The speaker is a little muffled, but not bad. The Dot can hear you without having to turn the TV down, or sushing other conversations. So far, I am happy with this purchase.

This Echo Dot was a pleasant addition to our recent (smart) TV purchase. After downloaded the Alexa App to a phone or tablet, it is easy to set up, and Amazon's phone support was also very helpful. Just say, "Alexa, play Mozart (or Diana Krall, or Dave Brubeck, etc.), and if you're an Amazon Prime member, the Echo Dot will play an assortment from Amazon's extensive free music collection (or ask you to sign up for a free trial if you request something available only through an additional subscription). We found the sound to be a bit tinny, and bought a very good, inexpensive, external speaker (OontZ Angle 3) that connects by Blu-tooth, and can be used while plugged its charger is connected (saving you from having to charge the speaker after 14 hours of use). That set-up gives surprisingly good sound quality for music and responses to questions. The Echo Dot also controls our smart thermostat (and can control other smart devices and lights). All you need to do is use the Alexa App to connect the Dot to your wi-fi router, and you're all set for a nice "assistant" that will answer questions like, "What is the temperature in Duluth, Minnesota? or outside now (and tonight)?" "Who is Lady Gaga?" or any number of questions you might manually have to search for on the Internet.

I received this echo dot as a gift when I purchase my Insignia TV. I can use this as a speaker for my music. Alexa is very smart. I can ask her anything and she will return the answer. Such a surprise to discover it comes free with a smart TV purchase.

I have been one of the skeptical folks not wanting a device listening 100% of the time and finally gave in. The Echo dot is great and we've had fun making all sorts of requests and playing games. I linked my SiriusXM account (w/ streaming) and can listen to satellite radio all over the house. There are tons of skills and unlimited possibilities to control all sorts of devices, lights etc.

Great volume! I use it to listen to music while cooking or cleaning , to ask random questions, gives me weather updates. Great buy:)

These are great! I have 3 of them, one on each floor. I can call all my kids for dinner with the announcement feature, create a shopping list, listen to music, have it turn on lights, ask it questions. I love the drop in feature. As a busy mom, these Echo Dots are the perfect addition to my house not only because they are so useful, but also the price is right for all that it does!

Great speaker to control my light in my room. It can play music and do alot of things. Glad i bought it

I have been looking for a way to get the kids downstairs without yelling. This has been a perfect solution. I can drop in on their Echo Dot (2nd Gen) and set an alarm to get up in the morning with some annoying (to them) alarm sounds that get their attention and call them for dinner. A lot more pleasant than my old routine. Still learning the other features but very happy so far.

I love Alexa because she works well with all my other Amazon products and plays whatever specific song I request her to play. Also her ability to understand almost any phrase is impressive.

This little beast is a workhorse! I play games, check the weather, and even have added to my shopping list as well as looked up products on Amazon shopping.

I love my Echo Dot. It was super easy to set up. I use it to listen to music with great sound. I can ask it about anything; the weather, recipes, trivia. It's like living with a living encyclopedia or genius relative.

My first at home smart device. A little personal helper to get my day going. I have smart lights I bought with it and a smart tv a few weeks later. She starts my morning with with lights that slowly brighten(my preference), turns on the news on the tv, tells me the weather, and all with three words, "Alexa, good morning."
