Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my first smart device. Alexa was easy to set up & came with a lot of freebies, like Amazon Prime, Amazon Music, Amazon Reading & Audiobooks. I'll have to cancel in a month though, but it s a good taste to sample and keep what I like. I've downloaded games, word of the day, the news etc. it is endless. I could spend the whole day telling Alexa what to do, but I mostly use her for music and answering questions. I find that she doesn't know a lot, so if you're a kid, she can't do your homework, only basic question and answers. She can be connected to smart dimmers, light bulbs etc, but I have yet to buy and connect those things. So, right now, echo is pretty fantastic. She is a great hostess at parties, adjusting the music to my guests' tastes & preferences.

Choosing an environment is not an obvious decision as both Alexa's and Google's devices have it's pros and cons. Alexa is better for smart home automation thanks to the routines and flexibility, but Google is much better for entertainment. While Google can cast to a Chromecast from Netflix, Youtube and others, Alexa can't. Google can also play music from Youtube music (in case you have Youtube Premium or Youtube Music) which Alexa doesn't do. The internet search is also much better in Google devices. The main cons in Google devices are that for home automation you usually need 3rd party apps, such as IFTT, which require a subscription to work.

Bought this as a present for my Mom. She loves it! She uses it all the time to listen to music. Great size, small so it fits anywhere. Sound is pretty good for such a small speaker.

The Echo Dot with Alexa is great for listening to music, books, and shutting lights off. She is hooked into our ring cameras and alerts us when there is movement. I would recommend this device.

This would be my second echo I buy and its amazing what it can do with giving it commands. From playing music to turning on lights. Also tells me when someone is at the door. Don't know what I'd do without it.

I originally bought 2 dots for my new house just to see what they were all about. I had them for roughly a week and decided to get 2 more to put in other rooms. Out of the box they are very simple to get set up and started and the app is easy to navigate. I have all of them linked so I can listen to music throughout the house, I have connected some to speakers because the sound quality for music isn’t great, but it isn’t advertised to be. I’ve bought some of the plugs since and plan on getting lights soon as well. If you want something to control your music, set up a morning routine (tell you weather, news, drive time to work, and play a custom playlist you choose), control lights, tv (if you have a smart tv), and just ask random questions, for sure get one!

i have almost every alexa and i have to say if you are looking for something small and sleek and loud with good bass and sound this is the alexa for you

I am very happy with this product. It’s very easy to use. It was extremely easy to set up. I use it for everything from asking questions to add stuff to my shopping list and to control my lights or listen to music.

Great speaker works perfectly fine been more than a year. Best at this price.

I love my echo dot. I use it in my office for background music. Alexa is still learning my preferences but she is doing a great job. I like the sleek look and the ease of tucking it away when I need to.

I brought this for my mother I had to get her out of the stone ages. After a little coaching she got the hang of it and she loved it so much. My mother since passed but now my father uses it and he's lost without it. Alexa went off line after a power outage and he lives in Texas and I live in Chicago. My father doesn't know how to set it back up so he'll have to wait till I can get back there to set it up again. We love it thank you to Amazon for a great product and thank you best buy for selling them in your stores. I would recommend to anyone whom loves technology.

Better looking and better quality than the last generation. Not much to say other than that it works and I had no issues during setup. It is also constantly on sale and it's a good device for your room without a camera.

I have three of them in multiple rooms. So easy to set up, and listen to music, I don't have to yell to get kid's attention with the drop-in feature, they make home life a little more convenient.

Fun product. Small and easy to use and set up. Works with TV and multiple outlet controls for lamps. Highly recommend.

These new and improved Eco Dot (3rd. Gen) are beefier then the previous version. Better sound all around and better cosmetically! Grab one when its on sale at BestBuy and save some $$$$.

The speaker sounds great, it’s loud and crisp. The function are great, I synced it with my Apple Music and love I can play my playlist. It haven’t use a lot of the features yet but so far I love the product.

I love it, works great for general things by itself, you have the connecting unit to do more complicated things, but for the kids to use or general questions and lists it awesome.

We absolutely love it echo dot. It's been out first ever Alexa device and it's been super easy to use and so much fun. My three year old even tells it different songs to play and it understands him.

It’s a great addition to our home network. Good sound and right size fits anywhere. If you have more than one you can play the same music through all devices for full house sound.

Easy to use. Has unlimited functions. I use it as my alarm, plays music, gives you the current, current news headlines. I use it as a Bluetooth speaker. I can play my iTunes music through this speaker. Has great volume
