Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works fine. Paired it with wi-fi enabled RGB light bulbs. Very convenient. Can turn on lights while hands are full of groceries.

besides knowing that Alexa is listening to me 24/7... sleek modern design and the size is so compact and makes a great gift, especially when they go on sale!

Received my Echo Dot when I purchased a Ring Camera for my front door. Set the Echo up in my dining room, which is adjacent to my kitchen. Works well for a small speaker for background music. Haven't used many of the other applications. But pretty handy for a smart speaker!

Works great. I have it connected to my Ring doorbell. It tells me when someone is on my porch or ringing the doorbell.

This is a good foundation to a smart home. On its own the Echo can do a lot, but start to add the smart plugs and light bulbs and pretty soon you are living like George Jetson.

This is probably the best of the “smart speakers” out there ... the speaker is nice and clear and with the app added via your cell device ... it’s the best hand downs.

Its small and loud, it reminds my stuff. I can drop in on my childre if my hands are busy.

Alexa order me some more......... Works great! Great addition to my house so I can listen to musig throughout the house.

Alexa does everything I ask, well most things! Keep it in my Kitchen and it is great for providing info, shopping lists, and music. She makes me smarter than I really am!

Works wonderfully, got this as a Christmas gift although it was a day late, use it every night and every morning, plays pretty loud, i love it

I am a 72 year old woman. All the young kids have these speakers. So I wanted one also. Mine's has flashing lights and a great sound. I am so glad that I have this product.

Easy to set up. It’s fun asking Alexa questions. We purchased some smart outlets and have Alexa turning them on & off. Speaker quality for playing music isn’t bad.

Can't go wrong with an echo. I use this to set alarms and has me up with no problem.

I purchased the Ring Doorbell at Best Buy and the Echo Dot was included with the purchase. Thanks Best Buy! I love my Echo Dot! All you need to do is plug it in, get the app on your phone and follow the prompts. I ask Alexa silly questions, I ask her to play music, tell me jokes, set up my alarm, set up reminders, I ask for the weather, the time, etc. love it!

Black Friday Special I couldn't pass on.....we have one in multiple rooms and love it.

I sleep with beside my bed and love it. Playing my soothing sounds to help me sleep instead of my phone. I’m actually going to get another one for my living room

Verdict: the Echo dot adds Alexa capability to your home, or multiple rooms, at a fantastic value Value. The Echo dot provides access to the same Alexa capabilities as all other Echo devices but at a significantly lower price. If you don't need a powerful speaker in a particular room because you don't listen to music in that room, then the Echo Dot is perfect. We added Echo dots in a couple of rooms to control home automation: lights, thermostats, and switches. Installation. Once unpacked and plugged in, the Echo Dot is immediately ready for connection. You can set it up through the Alexa app from any smart phone or tablet. Just follow the instructions to connect it to wifi and then it will just work. Sound. Despite its size, the Echo Dot sounds pretty good! If you use the "Alexa, play music everywhere" command, then all your Echo devices will play the same music in every room that has an Echo device. So these Echo Dots act like ambiance or surround speakers throughout the house. Functionality. I really have no complaints about the actually device. It works well, the physical buttons are practical, and the sound is good. The ring light provides useful feedback about the device listening to you or working on a request. The amplitude of light also indicates the volume level. Overall, it is a fantastic device at an incredible price. I highly recommend it, as long as you are comfortable with potential privacy implications.

I never wanted something like this in my home. Then it was on sale and I figured...well its kinda like a radio, right? Now we use it all the time and I've bought one for almost every room in the house. Plays music. Plays books. Keeps lists. Tells us the time and temperature. Sets alarms (very useful for digital school). I've even gotten them as gifts for people now, too.

This is a nice unit. The sound is great, heard at a friend's house. Fun to ask questions. Should have gotten long time ago. Really happy with it.

Much better sound quality compared to the first generation. Big difference between the two. Would definitely recommend buying second or third generation over first generation.
