Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was skeptical about what kind of sound experience the Echo Dot would provide. When you look at it, the first thought is, wow, this is small. It isn't terribly bigger than a hockey puck, but the sound it produces is pretty impressive. The size of this speaker really works to it's advantage

Perfect size for my sons room. It allows him to listen to the music he wants. We also use it for an alarm and of course to answer the millions of random questions he has. Best impulse buy ever.

We love our echo dot, it's very user friendly and easy to setup. Downloading the Alexa app allows access to tons of skills and games that can be installed and played on the dot. It also allows you to connect it to spotify or other music accounts for endless music while studying or chilling.

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.

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!

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.

Love my little helper at home. It helps me even find my phone in the house, helps me with the weather update, turn the lights on and off and many more...

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.

I really didn’t want to like this thing but that isn’t the case. I can’t say enough good things about it. Useful in many ways. Just ask a question and Alexa will answer it, control it, play it and remind you. Kids are enjoying it as well, Alexa, tell me a joke? Siri has nothing on Alexa!

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.

First smart device. Easy set up and sounds great. I liked it so much I am going to buy several more. Pretty cool to just say Alexa, play music or what time is it, ask a question etc.. Turn lights off on on with your voice and even change the color. Great device.

Useful! I'm easily tuning my tv and the light's on.

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.

it was good,good audio and good volume and my son brought it for me.

Got this free with a purchase of a MacBook. I never thought I needed one of these but the convenience of being able to play music and ask questions hands-free is amazing!

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.

Alexa! The microphones are better than in the older models and looks good with the cloth like texture on the sides (previous gen use to have a Fabric case for this look). Good for alarms, timers, lights and much more home automation.

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.

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.

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!
