Customer Ratings & Reviews

My elderly mother absolutely had to have one for Christmas. I got it for her, set it up, and got it going without a hitch. It works really well and the music sounds great out of it. I linked several skills for Mom at her request such as the InTouch Devotional program and Pandora very easily. I really have no complaints. My elderly mother; however, feels differently. This is not the Echo Dot's fault. Mom just doesn't understand how Alexa works and they have a stormy relationship. She thinks Alexa doesn't listen, but Alexa does. She thinks Alexa doesn't answer correctly, but Alexa tries as hard as it can to decipher what Mom is trying to say. Mom doesn't understand that a music subscription is needed for Alexa to play the music she wants right away. I warned Mom about all of this, but she thought she and Alexa would live well together. They do not. Over the last year, Alexa has been moved slowly more and more out of the way. The last time I was at Mom's house, Alexa had disappeared. At least Alexa has found peace. Bottom line, if one is not internet savvy, they will not much enjoy the Echo Dot. If they know how the internet works, they will enjoy it.

Surprisingly good sound. Easy setup. Now a generation behind in the Dot family, but other than appearance not functionally very different

Alexa is so helpful I have mine connected to my Phillips hue lights and my nest thermostat. I can control everything. She tells great stories appreciates when you say please and thank you. Just a great lady ;)

I primarily use this as a bluetooth speaker for music with the occasional command to see what the weather will be today. Alexa is very responsive, and the quality of the sound is surprisingly good. Plus I think the design is pretty sleek. If you can get this on sale like I did (Amazon products go on huge sales a lot), you will not be disappointed.

I have one in every room in my house! It’s definitely a essential! Especially if you have kids! I can drop in on my kids to tell them something or say an announcement all around my house. Its also nice to have a speaker for music in everyroom. We have alexia lights all through our home as well its so convenient to tell alexia to turn lights off and on. I would  definitely recommend.

I got this for my 93 yr old mother who has severely limited vision. She loves it because she can talk to it and it answers her. Her vision is so bad she can't read a clock or calendar, so she just asks "Alexa, what time is it?" Or "Alexa, what day is it?" and it tells her. Also she can ask about the weather and listen to music of her choice through it. It is a great aid for the visually impaired, Been thinking about buying another one so we can use it as an intercom. I know there are a lot more things we can do with it, but for now its great to have just for my mom!!

For the price (free with a Ring camera) this is a great gadget. Now we don't have to get up to look up who starred in Die Hard or turn off our kitchen lights - amazing!

It is easy to set up by downloading the Alexa app and also easy to pair with Alexa compatible devices such as smart plugs. I bought this when it’s on sale and it indeed is a great item to buy.

I got this free with the purchase of the ring flood light camera. It was easy to setup and connect to my internet. It picks up sound really well and understands commands really well as well.

How can you go wrong for $18.00!! I have 3 of these in my house now so that every room has sound and voice controls. Easy to use and the sound quality for $18 is perfect!

Good sound, small package, recognizes voice command, long battery live, portable.

Great product. It plays music, set reminders, use it as alarm, do Google and Amazon reviews. I would recommend to anyone who wants a multi-use home assistant.

While the previous Echo Dots were cheap ways to extend smart home control all over your home, they weren't the most attractive devices and had weedy sounds. The Amazon Echo Dot (3rd Gen) as a vast improvement on the originals, even though it costs exactly the same. The new finish looks fantastic and the new Echo Dot is a device that you'd happily put out on show. Audio has been dramatically improved, too, both in terms of quality and loudness, which makes Alexa easier to understand and means that the odd bit of music or radio is a possibility. If you're looking to put Alexa in more rooms, then this is the device to buy.

The new echo dot just keeps getting better. Great sound and improved functionality. Great buy for the price to start any smart home. Plus a great buy to add music to every room without wiring the entire house.

Very good and easy to use Simple to set up and great for older people not too Savvy with technology

We have several different Amazon Echo units for our family and the latest Echo Dot is a helpful addition to expand where we can use it. Easy setup, good sound, great job doing what it needs to do.

Loved the echo dot, adding to my Amazon devices. I have it in my bedroom, listening to my music on request. Also a good sale price at Best Buy.

Louder speaker and sleek design give this a much need modern twist. Love the speaker. I use these to control devices in different rooms of my house and the gen 3 is the best yet! highly recommended.

Awesome Device I ordered it for my sisters and I absolutely love it it works great the sound is amazing and everything works perfectly fine I will definitely recommend

No need for a Ring Chime when a Dot does Chime work and much more. Not to mention The Dot goes on sale for half the rice of a dedicated Chime.
