Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a nice compact unit that suits my uses well. It was easy to set up and use.

I bought a bunch of electronics from Best Buy - As a result this was a thank you gift from Best Buy. I thought that was pretty good of them. I gave it as a gift to my son who has Google WiFi. He said it was simple plug & Play; and it worked great. This was the version 3 model. As I understand versions 1 & 2 had problems understanding voice questions that resulted in bad to no answers. THIS unit did NOT have that issue. And it connected to the Google Wifi as easily as the same compatible Google mini would have.

Great smart, easy to use and very convenient. Anyone looking for a small easy to use speaker, this is the one for you.

The Echo Dot 3rd generation has a better speaker quality than the old one. I also like the sleek, modern design.

I’ve had some trouble with this one, cutting off and on,but overall these things are remarkable. I just say, “Set alarm for 6am and it’s done. I use it with Kasa plugs to turn on and off appliance. I love using it to play music too!

The echo dot gen 3 is a huge improvement from the 2nd gen. The speaker is powerful. The overall design is bigger than the 2nd gen dot.

Our whole family loves the echo dot! We love how easy it is to set up and use! We enjoy the music and all the info we can get from it!

I like that I can play music from it but at the same time train it to connect to things around the house which is very easy

I love everything about the Amazon Echo Dot 3rd. Gen. I have three of them in my home along with the Amazon Echo Studio. We use all of these Alexa products everyday in our home. The Gen 3 Echo Dot does a great job all by itself and it is all you need f you are on a budget and want to get started enjoying everything Alexa has to offer. It has a wonderful speaker so you will be surprised how much you enjoy how great the music sounds when you ask Alexa to play your favorite tunes.

Bought multiple Echos for our home. It set up easy and is fun to pair all together to get music throughout the house. Sound is great.

The Echo dot 3rd offers better sound quality but nothing to really write home about. It sounds better, feels better, it looks like a finished product. It works as well at previous models and does look richer on your bed stand or side table.

Love the new design, much less plasticky than the gen 2 models with much better sound fidelity. Also, at 30 bucks a pop, great value.

Great item. Love the sound and jow it is easy to interact with it..

This makes an excellent stand alone bluetooth speaker, or use it with Alexa to play Amazon music. The sound this little Dot can produce is amazing! I never thought I would want or use an Echo Dot, but after seeing my parents get one for Christmas and the ease they had using it for a variety of things, it became a must have. Hook up a compatible power outlet plug and control any device you want, get the weather, sports scores, news, music, and listen to your Audible audiobooks. Love my Dot so much I now have 3.

Small but very powerful like it because you can put it anywhere will buy another and recommend it

Love it!! Alexa is so handy, I am able to set timers and reminders and play music all day long.

I have an Echo Dot 2nd generation but this one looks a lot better. It doesn't look like an old piece of electronic device the one I already had. The design is great and the color goes with anything. It definitely sounds better than the 2nd generation but I would not recommend it for that reason alone. It is not worth it to replace it with this one. But if you - like me - are adding more of these to your house or are buying one for the first time, then this is the one. If you never owned an Alexa device before, you will find out that she can meet a lot of needs that you didn't even know you had. When I first brought one home, I actually thought that I had made a mistake but I ended up finding out that it could do a lot more than I expected: help me with language learning, with cooking, reading audio books, entertaining, and so much more. I just can't live without Alexa anymore and this Echo Dot is more attractive to the eye.

I like the 2nd Gen, but this 3rd Gen is a good improvement. The sound quality is a little better and it looks more modern/sleek.

Of all the voice-enabled devices out there, I think the Amazon Alexa enabled devices are the ones that are most likely to understand your voice commands. Sound quality is really good for such a small and inexpensive device. Alexa integrates entirely with your Amazon shopping account and will make recommendations when it thinks you are needing to reorder something and will keep you up to date on your order shipment status. Also, Alexa has some attitude and is downright funny at times. This Echo Dot like its big brother can integrate with Apple iTunes as well as Sirius XM. Just recently they can now make phone calls without evening having to pair with your phone, just so long as your wireless service is through AT&T.

Have been a bit skeptical of these. I was pleased to see that you can turn microphone off entirely if you want to do so. I still like to listen to the radio stations--all of my favorite stations are available for free from Tunein, Radio.com, etc. Can also set an alarm. Great replacement for my old clock-radio. And then there are all the other things Alexa can do, especially if you have smart thermostats, lights, locks, etc. Glad I bought it--and on sale, too.
