Customer Ratings & Reviews

Minimal space but massive sound .....hides well within my decor when not in use but very responsive when asked - definitely would recommend it to anyone looking for the smaller Alexa version

This came free as part of eero mesh WiFi Product. I am using this everyday as I work from home. Set up was easy and cool being able to ask for music, news, and weather.

Alexa is very useful. I bought it on sale and almost all the rooms in my house have it now. I can control most of my appliances and electricals via voice now.

Its small but loud! Quailty of sound is pretty good too. Love that you can hide them behind anything. Easy to setup

I use the Echo Dots for Wemo and Ring product remote activation: "Alexa, turn off the Man Cave Lights" or "Alexa, arm the Ring Security System"... most often I use it to turn off the bedroom lights at night without having to get out of bed. Speaker is average, if you're looking for quality audio step up to the full size Echo or get a better standalone unit dedicated for that purpose. Functionality is great, especially for getting your morning news in a 5-minute chunk via the "Flash Briefing" function. Love the product, especially at the $20/25 price point when it's on sale. I'm at 4 units, plus the Kid version for my 7-year old... and I'll probably end up with a few more.

Got 3 of these for a good deal to replace some older Dots, and allow me to shuffle my setup around to maximize my coverage. One of the new Dots actually replaced a 2nd gen Echo (full size) on my office desk because I realized that I never ever ran the Echo at a high volume and its superior quality sound was better used elsewhere in my house. But to compare apples for apples, this generation of Dot does seem to have a richer/warmer sound quality than the pervious generation, particularly at higher volume . Other than that they seem to have the exact same functionality/limits and capability. Setup seemed to go smoother than with the previous generation but I think that is more an upgrade to the Alexa software package than the hardware. One thing that surprised me is that with the new style with the fabric wrapping and the rounded top it is slightly larger and at least to my eye slightly more noticeable/conspicuous than the 2nd gen Dots. They do match nicely with the Echos that I have in other places and for some reason that matters to my wife. You might guess that I am committed to the Echo-sphere and you'd be right.

I highly recommend the 3rd Gen Echo Dot as it’s a small device with lots of functions. It has great sound for music and Alexa responds correctly to endless questions. Love it!!!

Great product. Easy to set up. Reliable alarm clock

Instead of shouting "KIDS, DINNER IS READY", you only need to quietly say "Alexa, drop in the kids' room", and then talk at your normal voice :) That's only one of the things this Echo Dot can do. We've asked it to play music, and to play an interactive game (e.g. Who Wants to be a Millionaire) at dinner time. The kids use it to set reminders, as an alarm clock, check the weather, and to look up something on the internet... It is very useful. It can also order stuff for you on Amazon, but I have not used that function yet.

i was looking for an upgrade to replace my older digital alarm clock, and saw this on bestbuy.com and another site. did some research on the Echo Dot 3rd gen, and read good things about it. it was on sale on here so decided to purchase one. i'm very glad that i did. it's my first time actually using an Alexa product. i mainly use it as an alarm clock, and at times ask Alexa about the weather, or just to listen to the morning radio. the sound is clear and pretty loud for a puck sized radio with a fabric covering on it. she hears me pretty well when i am on the other side of my apartment. i definitely recommend this product to anyone that is in the market for an item like this.

Not a bad little device with a decent sound. Its a smaller version of an alexa speaker. its great for a small bedroom. i like the look of the device and what it does!

I bought it for my bedroom. It works with plugs and lights well. Great product and great price!

I love my Alexa dot it works great for my alarm it turns my tv off and plays my favorites on playlist mode !

Sounds is amazing. Loud enough for a big room, or even a bathroom

I love using Alexa, I bought another one for my living room. I have her add things to my amazon cart, turn my lights off and on, control my firestick and firetv, as well as manage the temperature in my house. It's so much easier and affordable to slowly incorporate Alexa compatible devices into your apartment or home than it is to build a smart home with smart devices.

I have a few Echo Dot's in my house. All of them were easy to setup and work great. It is cool to play music throughout the house on all the echo dot's.

This echo dot is great because it does so many things if you take advantage of all of its features. You can set your alarm in the morning, get news, play any song (with amazon music) and more!

I love the new version of the echo dot. The sound is much much better and actually has a touch of bass. It connects easily and can pick up the activation word from across the room. Very handy

My son introduced me to how the Echo Dot worked by having it turn on our Christmas tree by voice commands. Seemed pretty neat. As a result, I ordered 2 surge protectors which had outlets and USB ports that are voice controlled. By installing one of these next to my recliner, I can turn two lights on/off, two computer chargers on/off, and the four USB ports on/off. Since my den does not have an overhead light, is somewhat dark and the light switches are inconvenient, the Echo Dot make it easy to turn on lights when I enter the room or turn off when leaving. Especially nice when I have something in my hands. And it was easy to set up!

Very easy to setup through the Alexa app, and the volume quality is awesome in terms of getting the right sound volume you want.
