Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have felt for some years that something like this wasn't for me BUT...I love it and am really considering a second one for my bedroom. This Echo Dot is so intuitive and so helpful around the house while I focus on other things. You can learn so much just asking it questions! One feature that I have loved is being able to tell it in the morning to play meditation music for me--that has really helped me to be calm and focused on my tasks.

I never need to set up an alarm anymore. Nor do I need a speaker! For this well valued product, I have a sufficient alarm, speaker, and smart home device!

As would be expected with any of the Amazon Echo products, this Echo Dot works well and is a favorite tool for the whole family. The Alexa app sensed it straight away and made it a breeze to set up. The main reason we bought this was to be able to play the same music on all Echo Dots in the house simultaneously, especially during parties. The functionality of this product seems limitless and we are very happy with it. Now if I could just get all my kid's friends to stop saying, "Alexa" every five seconds with a different command...

I honestly do not like these items, and have avoided buying for a few years. For the cost, they are quite impressive. Voice recognition and speed of response is really good, sound volume and quality is much better than a tablet/phone. I only purchased as a way for the kids to listen to music playlists without having a screen nearby, which it functions very well (essentially any bluetooth speaker requires using the device). Also, if you aren't aware, there are some 3rd party rechargeable batteries you can buy that make the unit portable.

Control various devices just by asking Alexa! And gives you information quickly and efficiently. It's a gadget you dont know you need until you don't have it! Simple home automation with select and additional devices (smart hubs). On the privacy issue... well you're either on board or your not. So if you're reading the reviews just get it! You wont be disappointed. If you dont want it to listen to a conversation it has a mute button which disables the microphone and lets you know it's on mute with a red ring light. Or just unplug it! Sound is good too for such a small speaker, bluetooth enabled.

It works very well for us. It was easy to set up with different people in the house. The music plays at whatever level you ask it. I'm happy with my purchase

This was a gift from Best Buy after purchasing the ring alarm system. This was our first Alexa and let’s just say we fell in love and now have one in every room of the house. She makes life so much easier. It’s convenient to have one in the kitchen to set timers while cooking and she also turns on and off our TVs so no more searching for remote in the middle of the night. It was very easy to install just plug it in and download the app. The speaker on the Alexa is great too for playing music in the house.

Amazing little device and simple to use. Our family uses the Music playing element the most. Sure makes washing those dishes more tolerable.

We got this as part of a purchase promo and I really didn't expect much from it. It was a pleasant surprise - the ease of set up and sound quality are top notch.

I love my Amazon Alexa. It’s small and very easy to use.

I purchased this for my mother for Christmas. She is not tech savvy and she loves it. She just tells Alexa what she wants to listen to and it plays the music.

I LOVE THIS DEVICE ! This was my third Echo device (my second 3rd generation Echo) I received this Echo Dot (3rd Gen) as a free gift when I ordered my son's Fire TV and passed it on to him as well. My family enjoys them. We use it to play music, ask questions about the weather and local/national events, timers/alarms, making calls and sending messages, and controlling other devices, he has even added smart lighting and smart plugs to his room. Couldn't be happier!

Great product, bought it for my nephew, plays music with it, set up alarm for school

Just plug and install the app. it that easy Got it free with the ring doorbell. I like this product give me time weather and play music from my favorite app.

Nice sound for a small footprint. Had some difficulty connecting to bt speakers at first, but finds paired items fast once installed. Wish it had a portable power supply (battery) but maybe in gen 4. Does not interfere with my Alexa enabled sound bar, can have different sounds in different rooms.

Perfect for the nightstand. It sound good and the design is great, I especially like the way it lights up.

Perfect for grandson,he loves the easy set up color and the sound, easy to use..Alexa understand him

I like the duel speakers while playing music. Fairly easy to set up. A little frustrating on tweaking the settings just right, but I’m no geek.

I bought this on Black Friday to replace my gen1 echo dot and the sound quality is amazingly better. As with most Amazon stuff this is easy to setup and add to your others.

Replaced my Gen 1 Dot. In sale for $30. Biggest improvements are continuous connectivity and much better sound quality. Still not as good as Echo Get 2 but not far behind.
