Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have several 2nd gen dots and this is even better. Sound is slightly better and the look is softer.

I got this third generation Echo Dot free with a purchase of a smart thermostat this holiday season. The Dot works great with all of my "smart" appliances and the sound is noticeably better than the first generation dot.

Works great. Love that I can play music on it and not have to use my phone or a radio. Easy to set up and use.

Very good upgrade compared to the first style. Good sound quality and very loud volume

Love my echo. I use it to play music, update my lists and with my tv. Seems to meet my needs.

I have 4 echo dots, 2 echos, echo tap, and an echo show (all 1st gen) throughout the house and you can definitely tell the upgrades with the new echo dot. This new dot is so loud, especially compared to the other dots, and Amazon has done a great job of improving the mic. If the music is really loud the older echos will have a hard time hearing you when you say “Alexa.” This new dot does a great job of being able to hear you when the music is loud.

The speaker on this is amazing compared to the generation 2. The volume can be on 2 and it is still loud.

Awesome, works perfect. Easy to operate and easily connects to my other devices._

Great product for the price. Well worth it. Sound is great for such a small speaker

Very user friendly and has a good speaker for music. Very happy with it, especially for the price!

A little bigger than the dot 2nd generation but better all around. And sounds a lot better when playing music.

This is by far greater then the 2nd Gen. The sound of this Amazon - Echo Dot 3rd Gen just blew me away when I heard it for the very first time. It literally filled the entire room with its robust sound. This is a purchase that I will never regret. I ended up buying 5 more and I just need 3 more and I'll have every room and hallways filled with my music. they can all play the same thing at the same time or whatever I prefer to listen to in a particular room.

We bought an Echo Plus (2nd generation) and an Echo Dot (3rd generation) at the same time. We targeted the Plus because it was advertised as having better sound quality and could operate other smart equipment (light bulbs, etc.) Surprisingly to us, the Echo Dot's sound quality was very good - not quite as good as the Plus's, but still very good. So, now, we've bought some additional Echo Dots and enjoy the high quality sound in multiple rooms.

I am currently dipping my toes into home automation and was already using Ring cameras. Since Amazon now owns Ring I decided to jump into the Alexa ecosystem and have been happy so far. This Dot is responsive and can do voice recognition pretty well, which I have heard is an issue with some of the other ecosystems on the market.

Easy to set up and recognizes my voice. Doesn't take up much room on my end table which I like. I have this set up in my living room and notice that it will light up at random times.

This thing is great. Sounds pretty good for the size, and I can even control my Amazon TV with it.

Bought for my daughter for Christmas to sync to the echo dot 4th gen I bought as well. I never owned smart home devices. I was surprised when I checked out both of ours came with a smart bulb which I have both in my bedroom overhead light and we all love telling her to turn on and off the bedroom lights or to dim them a %. My daughter hasn't received hers yet. But shes loving playing with mine.

There are many things to love about the dot. It small and isn’t the first thing you see but it does so much.

Have a few Echo Dots and this is my first 3rd Gen...and it is definitely better in every category...sounds better and looks better than my Gen 2's. Will hopefully upgrade my 2 's in the near future and donate them to local convalescent home so the infirmed can use them for entertainment and communicate with friends and family and not feel so lonely. In fact I am going to set them up for each person and teach them hoe to use them now that I think of it.

Great device. It allows me to be updated on all of my purchases, weather updates, and works with multiple music apps. You can also pair them with other Alexa speakers for a whole home sound. They are a cheap way to add some enjoyment and entertainment to your life.
