Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was our first Alexa product. I was excited to see what all the hype was about, especially for the low price. It was a great way to get easy, voice-based music into our son's room. As a music player, it's awesome. It integrates well with Apple Music, and is much easier than connecting a phone to a Bluetooth speaker just to listen to music. It makes it a casual, spontaneous thing (instead of an intentional, dedicated activity we're far less likely to engage in). Alexa hears well and the Echo Dot sounds pretty good in a small room. It's nowhere near the sound quality of our HomePod -- but it was a fraction of the price. A few hang-ups, though... First, Alexa is great with general knowledge, but pretty poor when it comes to voice command flexibility. Siri on the HomePod understands conversational English far better (and variations of commands -- read: Siri seems to look for intent rather than a static catchphrase). When we use Alexa Skills designed for kids, it really stands out to me how limited the commands are. If we get them even slightly off, the games break. I should be able to say "sure" instead of "yes" and have it know that I'm giving an affirmative command. Alexa is also very finicky with smart home accessories. Sometimes she knows which light I want turned on/off and sometimes she has no clue. I wish it plugged into HomeKit. In general, the skills kinda stink. They're gimmicks. That aspect is disappointing. But as a very low cost and pretty good smart speaker for music in our kids room? This thing is great for that.

Pretty easy to use. I set mine in front of the tv which is the easiest place to hear it in the house.

This is working as designed. Has a good sound for a small speaker.

Love how simple it operate. This one is for the boat. Fun to connect all my tv’s and light’s.

Easy to hook up. I talk to her everyday. And even say Thank you. Getting a few more for Christmas presents. Shopping done.

I use these all over the house, they can be linked and play music at the same time

I has several Amazon devices and love them all. The echo is a great addition to our collection.

Ofcourse, I love it! It was free! Gave it to my Grandchild! We have several!

Having echo dot simplify my daily routine at home like turning on and off music and also lighting,this is a big help.

Fine little unit, still learning the workings but seems to be a nice unit!

This was our first echo dot. We use it to listen to music, ask jokes, and the weather. The only downfall was it was not as easy to connect to smart lights and other gadgets. To fix this, we bought an Amazon - Echo.

Amazon alexa devices are amazing. I have one in every room of my house.

I have two of these and two shows throughout the house. The pickup command very well, I think even better than the show.

I am not good in technology, but my granddaughter help me with the installation, so, I am enjoying it! Thanks

My grandkids love this device they have so much fun asking Alexa to play music.

We love our echo dot the kids have fun with it easy to use

I got one free with a Ecobee thermostat. I have had a gen 2 for some time now. The gen 3 has a much better sound quality.

Great alexa speaker for everyday use. Great with calm music in the bedroom.

Works great feels good to be able to not get out of bed to turn a device off

Love being able to have a smart home. Alexa pretty much is a big help. Love the color as well. Small and discreet.
