Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy to use and navigate. Alexa can read bed time stories to the kids, tell you the time and even play your favorite music.

Pleasantly surprised with the sound on this 3rd gen dot. We don't have to hook it up to any other speaker for it to be louder.

I received the Echo Dot with my smart thermostat purchase. I also have the Ring doorbell and security system, which came with Dots as well. The Dot can be used to check stat temp and settings, but it is even more useful with my security devices. The Dot alerts me when the doorbell is pressed or when it senses motion. This is nice as I have a Dot in my basement, and strategically placed in other areas of the home, which allows my family to know of activity without the need of a cell phone (kids for example). I can also arm and disarm the security system through the Dot. Again, think of placement of Dots vs the location of your security keypad. I can simply tell Alexa to arm if I’ve forgotten, e.g. I’m already in bed. It’s also nice to disarm by voice with full arms of groceries as you enter, as well.

Never really thought we would use one of these but over time I find that we have music playing in the background of game nights and dinner and we've started adding lighting control. This was actually really fun at Christmas time as we added a couple more wireless controllers to the decorations. And the family actually likes to play Jeopardy after supper. Sometimes do worry about the whole "big brother is listening" thing but my phone does that just as much so <shrug>.

I have several dots and they are all awesome! Play music all the time and love being able to ask questions.

Small takes up minimal space easy to use works perfectly

This item is amazing not bad for the price that I got it for Place good sound and it's easy to connect to the Wi-Fi

Great sound and perfet size. Easy hook up song in the shower

I really enjoy it! It’s my second one I had the first generation. The price was better than the original one. Will definitely recommend it for the the value and great performance it gives. Greater sound than the first gen also!

Good for ease of use and listening to music/podcasts.

These echo dots are pretty amazing little speakers. I was surprised at the rich, quality sound. I think I even like it better than some of the more expensive models I have. And they are less obtrusive. This one sits on a shelf where you'd barely notice it. This one is a win for me!

The setup was easy. Didn't expect high quality of sound from this small speaker but I was pleasantly surprised.

Bought this equipment to play music. But realised its much more than that. She can answer almost any question I need answers for. Plus she wakes me in the morning, remind me of any appontments or birthdays I need to remember. Love it

I have mixed feelings about the Dot. Sound quality is okay until you turn it up a bit then distortion kicks in. Functionality is okay. It's interface with Harmony Hub is unreliable. Sometimes it works great, other times it loses track of the connection. The same is true of the interface with KasaTP-Link. It frequently loses the connection. We also have a Google Home Hub in the house. It seems to be more reliable with its Harmony Hub connectivity. Google also seems to be more user friendly and understands queries better than Alexa, I asked both when it was going to rain today. Google responded with very specific information regarding the times it might be raining. Alexa just said it might rain today, 59% at 11 a.m. I've also purchased the Amazon Echo but haven't opened yet. I may return it and purchase the Google product line instead.

Originally got this to listen to my Amazon music account in my office, but was pleasantly surprised at the sound. Ultimately I moved this to my living room then realized that the one feature that I'm thrilled about is the ability to connect on the fly to a stereo receiver via Bluetooth when I'm ready to shake the house. Whenever I turn on the stereo, it automatically connects, and I'm ready to go. Very pleased with this purchase.

the Echo Dot is easy to set up and use, good sound quality,

Good sound quality and fits everywhere. Works better with Spotify.

For $20 I had no high expectations. I wanted it for a small room and It works well for what I wanted it for. The sound is good for the size speaker. I love it. Would recommend

We bought two of these. We have the large one and these are two additional little ones. One is used mainly for a speaker to play music in a workout room and the other one is in the bedroom. We have it paired with a couple smart bulbs so it is nice to be able to turn on the lights with our voice when entering the room. It is also convenient if we remembered something to add to the grocery list or to play sleepy music at night.

Good products quality sound small equipment to place it anywhere in the room
