Customer Ratings & Reviews

I didn't think I'd use this, but I use it at least a few times a day to turn on my lights, play music, etc. I would definitely say that this is the better option over Apple's HomePod, due to having support for more smart home items, and it still has the ability to link to Apple Music.

Love this lil echo dot their so cute and efficient i wish you could just say Alexa do this or r a do that but hey Alexa is ok it works great it’s informative even when I don’t ask it prompts me

These are nice. The sound quality isnt bad for what they are and how big they are. Really nice price on a promotion and you can hook up more to each other.

Originally I purchased one of these with the smart light bundle for my folks during Christmas…and after testing it out I went back and bought 2 more. I’m surprised how much we use it. My folks can use it as an intercom between rooms…set up reminders for stuff (they tend to forget a bit at their age)…use it for activating their smart lights…find out information about anything and I’m showing them some funny stuff to ask Alexa on top of it. Now if I could just figure out how to change Alexa’s voice to someone like Samuel L. Jackson for entertainment purposes we’d be set….or at least have the option for Alexa to use profanity from time to time :) Overall I love it…playing Pandora radio and using these as surround sound speakers in the house came in way more handy than I imagined.

I already owned 2 google homes but after hearing Alexa has a drop in feature which is an intercom system from device to device we bought 4 of these for Christmas so everyone had one in their rooms. Also I like that you can play any song you want whereas google can’t do that it plays only stations not specific songs.

I have the Gen1 dot also and compared to that, the Gen2 sounds MUCH better! Unfortunately, it isn't very consistent in hearing us. When we first set it up, it worked great. Maybe an update screwed something up, but a few months after first setup, it wouldn't hear us fairly often. As a speaker, it sounds pretty good. Bass is the biggest improvement, along with considerably more volume. At Max volume it does distort slightly, but back off the volume a touch and it'll clean up. Gets plenty loud while still clean.

This came free with a purchase. The sound quality is fantastic, and the smart functionality seems functional. My biggest qualm with it is that it’s not battery powered and must stay plugged in when in use. If it weren’t free, I wouldn’t have gotten it, but I’m not super interested in making my house a smart home.

Got this as a bonus for buying another product. I’ve been able to connect it to other devices in my home. My favorite is the wall plugs. I can ask Alexa to turn on/off my appliances connected to my smart plugs. Super convenient for hard to get to places, like corner lamps and Christmas trees. Very happy for the gift!

Echo dot is a really good device: the microphones are sensitive, the speaker quality is great for what it is, and Alexa is competent. However, if you're looking for better integration with other smart devices, the google home may be a better pick, especially if you don't have Amazon Prime. The google home app on your phone is also better than the Alexa app, at least on iOS. That all being said, Alexa works well and I would recommend this if you're looking to add a digital assistant to your home.

First smart device. Easy set up and sounds great. I liked it so much I am going to buy several more. Pretty cool to just say Alexa, play music or what time is it, ask a question etc.. Turn lights off on on with your voice and even change the color. Great device.

Alexa is a nice spontaneous online helper. It's speaker quality is very good with excellent receiving capacity by its 4 microphone. It's size is very cute and can place on bed side table.

Got this because it was $25 and even bought two more for my mother in law. I needed an additional Alexa coverage in my office while I work from home to play music, and other things. This fit the bill. Small so it out of the way and the speakers are good enough to play music while I work.

I love this version of Alexa's Amazon. It's tiny enough to fit everywhere but with a great sound quality and excellent way to capture your voice and understand what you say. I strongly recommend this Amazon Echo Dot 3.

I was skeptical about what kind of sound experience the Echo Dot would provide. When you look at it, the first thought is, wow, this is small. It isn't terribly bigger than a hockey puck, but the sound it produces is pretty impressive. The size of this speaker really works to it's advantage

Overall I think the echo dot packs a decent punch. I'm aware that a newer generation exists but for the price I couldn't pass this one up. Perfect for an apartment or smaller home, especially if you have more than one. My only complaint would be that I notice sometimes I really have to yell at it to get it's attention.

We love our echo dot, it's very user friendly and easy to setup. Downloading the Alexa app allows access to tons of skills and games that can be installed and played on the dot. It also allows you to connect it to spotify or other music accounts for endless music while studying or chilling.

Love the Alexa device. Have 4 throughout my house, all linked. Music plays on all making a perfect stereo system. Easy setup for lights, reminders, alarms. Many handy ways to use.

Echo Dot 3rd Gen offers security and its speaker provides very good quality sounds This item is dependable and giving directions easy with simple commands to control lights, reminders, and request information among many commands.

Between personal use and gifts, I've purchased at least a half-dozen Echo Dots. Every single one works like a champ with no issues. Alexa makes it so simple to listen to all my favorite music and Talk Radio programs.

To give Amazon some credit, though there have always been some lingering privacy concerns, as long as you're not doing anything shady at home, it is very nice to have Alexa make your house more automated if you also have a lot of the plugs and other smart devices. having had previous generation echoes, this one actually looks much nicer and prettier. I also think the speaker is subtly better if you play music.
