Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy set up and works great. I've gone overboard but just too neat to not have. I control lights and switches with a few words. I can find most answers by just asking "Alexa _____________" Food, TV, Movies, she has the answer. Play music ? Just anything. Notifications? Yep. Reminders? Yep.

Great little speaker for my small room asking Alexa to shut down lights and answering questions is very helpful. Will eventually place in the kitchen plug flush so i have music in there and still have counterspace.

The Dot is a great way to expand your access to Alexa. Easy set up with the app and tiny footprint makes location very convenient. Was a bonus with a TV purchase so the price was fabulous.

I was a bit uneasy using something like this. It took me years to use Siri. But it was a bundled pkg so I tried it out. Easier than Siri to learn and use and I like that I can shut the mic off. The music even sounds nice.

Was confused between Google mini and this but having viewed lots of review online. I have decided on this. Got this on sale but could have bought one more so that I could create stereo. Sound quality is good, setup is breeze. I have it connected with my wyze and Philips hue and completely satisfied.

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.

I love the amazon echo's and have so far purchased three. I have had some difficulty getting them linked together, but otherwise I enjoy the ease and convenience of having them throughout the house. Alexa's voice controls have gotten better since the first generation and that has been a HUGE plus.

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.

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.

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.

I received this echo dot free with my fire tv purchase and honestly I’m surprised I didn’t buy one after using this I absolutely love it and it is worth the money

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.

If you are like me and have never had a smart speaker of any type this is an excellent device to start with. Amazon's 3rd generation echo dot come with improved sound and better microphone than it's previous efforts. The far field microphones will pick up speech even if not in the same room. The speaker itself is full of sound and bass. If plan on getting multiple echo dots you will be happen to know that you can group multiple dots together to have them play the same music, podcast, audiobook, etc. The list of features do not stop with audio playback, the echo dot is capable of controlling smart home items such as light bulbs, thermostats, locks, etc. all done though set up in the Alexa app. In short there are many things that this small speaker can not do, if you decide to pick it up you will be happy.

I bought this to use with my Ring alarm system and doorbell. It can be a chime for the doorbell, and a great way to turn on/off the alarm. It also has a Guard mode that activates when you tell it you're leaving, which will listen for glass breaking or alarms when you're gone and notify you.

Amazon Echos now support multi-room audio, thus I’ve been filling my home with echos to achieve whole home audio without having to wire speakers throughout the ceilings. The Echo Dot 3rd generation blows the socks off the 2nd generation as far as sound quality. Once I connected it to my Everywhere group, it pumped out bass notes and audio so real that I thought this can’t be coming from such a small Dot. Compared with the 2nd generation that now sounds like an old AM radio, this 3rd generation really sounds incredible.

The product does as advertised and was easy to setup. Speaking to and activating the device can be done using your normal tones and speech patterns, for adults. This is where the fun starts. My daughter yells at the device and it doesn't respond, and that's enjoyment for her brother and i. alarms can be set with the app or speaking (normally) directly to the device. Be careful what you say around the device, it will respond/react. I would recommend this to a friend, especially to torture others.

The newest version of the dot doesn’t seem as cheap and disposable as the last one. This unit is good looking and appears to be a little larger in height and width than the last also. The biggest improvement is the speaker. It sounds 10 times better and even is able to play some lower bass tones now!

Great speaker to control my light in my room. It can play music and do alot of things. Glad i bought it

We purchased two Echo Dots when they were on sale. The small size allows easy placement. The sound quality is good considering the size. We especially like the "drop in" feature that allows communication between rooms. We are happy with the purchase and the ever increasing functionality of Alexa.

I’m loving this speaker. It’s not big and bulky. I got it free when I purchased the Ring. I love the quality of the speaker when listening to music. And I like having an assistant to ask general questions and help with my morning or evening routine. Technology does it again! I’m glad I have one now.
