Customer Ratings & Reviews

Originally I purchased one of these with the smart light bundle for my folks during Christmas…and after testing it out I went back and bought 2 more. I’m surprised how much we use it. My folks can use it as an intercom between rooms…set up reminders for stuff (they tend to forget a bit at their age)…use it for activating their smart lights…find out information about anything and I’m showing them some funny stuff to ask Alexa on top of it. Now if I could just figure out how to change Alexa’s voice to someone like Samuel L. Jackson for entertainment purposes we’d be set….or at least have the option for Alexa to use profanity from time to time :) Overall I love it…playing Pandora radio and using these as surround sound speakers in the house came in way more handy than I imagined.

I just love this little thing... I own 4 of then (all the colors) and 1 Echo Show... along with the ring for my front door and the Phillips light is the best combo for your home.... this Echo dot help me to control my lights, add music to any room, keep me inform about the weather, etc..... just love it.

I bought this for my son. It is his first smart speaker. He loves it and uses it for many different things. The speaker has great sound quality he listens to music along with podcasts. He also uses it as an alarm and reminder for many different things form waking up to cooking to getting his laundry.

I never intended to purchase the Echo Dot and have never had any home automation devices, however it came free with a promo when purchasing my Ring Alarm system. So far, I've been so impressed with this little unit that I purchased another one. It works seamlessly with the Ring Alarm, allowing you to arm and disarm the alarm system by voice. The most impressive (and unexpected) feature of this unit is you can set the Echo Dot/Alexa up to "guard" your home when you arm your Ring Alarm system. Once the system is armed, the Echo Dot(s) in your home will listen for the sound of glass breaking, as well as the sound of smoke/carbon monoxide detectors. If it detects any of those events, it will alert you. As far as the internal speaker goes, the quality of sound is reasonably decent for such a small package. It has a line-out jack to connect to external speakers. The only thing that could make this unit better is to add a line-in jack, in the event that you wanted to use it as an external speaker for another device.

This was purchased as an addition to the full size Alexa Plus Gen2. Although the Echo Dot was a Gen3 it works flawlessly with the original one. Will probably purchase a couple more for our use around the house. Already purchased three additional ones for gifts for the grandchildren. Great item for the price!

This echo dot is very loud and gets the job done! I carry it with me to work and plug it in to play music throughout the day and get weather info. Love this and how easy it is to use with the app!

It's arguably one of the best electronic gadgets we have invested in(in general the ecosystem) - Alexa allows you to automate so many things - right from quickly pulling up a video of the kids rooms if necessary, to checking status of the laundry. The echo dot itself is small compact and has very good sound.

The Amazon Echo Dot 3 is amazing. The Amazon Echo products are great. Alexa is very responsive and works well in any room. The sound quality is very good. The volume is good. Everything about this little product is excellent. I would highly recommend.

We upgraded from a second gen dot and it is a pretty noticeable difference. Function is the same, but the third gen is "chunkier" and more substantial. Biggest thing we noticed was the improved sound quality. While it is far from bass heavy, it is less "tinny" than the second gen dot and a worthy upgrade.

To give Amazon some credit, though there have always been some lingering privacy concerns, as long as you're not doing anything shady at home, it is very nice to have Alexa make your house more automated if you also have a lot of the plugs and other smart devices. having had previous generation echoes, this one actually looks much nicer and prettier. I also think the speaker is subtly better if you play music.

Love this lil echo dot their so cute and efficient i wish you could just say Alexa do this or r a do that but hey Alexa is ok it works great it’s informative even when I don’t ask it prompts me

I love this version of Alexa's Amazon. It's tiny enough to fit everywhere but with a great sound quality and excellent way to capture your voice and understand what you say. I strongly recommend this Amazon Echo Dot 3.

Great product but slightly limited when it comes to other devices. I hate when I tell it to play a song and it isn't part of what it can play out of the box. Still for the price it does what is needed but nothing that would make this stand out amongst the other products on the market.

Better, more sound fullness than the previous generation, mainly cause it's bigger and wrapped in fabric. That also makes it collect more dust that can't just be wiped down like the shiny 2nd generation. A few colors to pick from. The other difference I dislike compared to previous generation is that the power adapter is bigger and proprietary, no longer the universal USB type. The 4th generation is already out, completely redesigned.

For a true tin foil hat guy to buy this is a life evaluating event. But my favorite aspect of this is I don't even have to search FOR ANYTHING on my phone anymore. Or even type anymore. I just say Alexa, play crazy train and BOOM! Ozzy is singing to me. Seriously tho, I'd recommend this for any older parents. They can talk so no typing and everything will be at the end of the tongue now. Delivery, cab, google searches, music, instructions to a certain dish and so on.

Echo Dot 3rd Gen offers security and its speaker provides very good quality sounds This item is dependable and giving directions easy with simple commands to control lights, reminders, and request information among many commands.

Sound quality is very good, it hears very well. I like the size. Also you can purchase a plug hanger to make more room on surface space. Don't like that if doesn't have a clock.

The Echo Dot came free with a Sony TV I bought. The TV has the Google assistant so I didn't really need this. I gave it to my Mom to use in her kitchen. It's very handy for setting timers and making shopping lists that you can see in the app. It also works good for streaming music. We all have fun asking it to tell us jokes too. I plan on installing a few Wi-Fi switches so she can use it to turn some lights on and off. It's well designed and fun to use. Definitely happy with it!

I placed this in my laundry room. Nothing like having music when I'm washing, drying, and doing the dreaded folding. It's small, can be hidden or blended in, and works for low volume tunes. It's also my closest Alexa to my garage door, so I use it to turn on lights when I get home after the sun goes down.

She knows it all and you can sync your AmazonMusic, Spotify and a ton other apps/accounts with it to have an even more personalized experience. The sound quality is incredible (it surpassed my expectations) and it's pretty loud too. It's a great deal, no denying it.
