Customer Ratings & Reviews

We got this in a package with another product - we have a Google Home as well. Both devices work well for basic tasks; the Google Home is better at answering informational questions, while the Echo supports more "skills." For example, the Echo will control our thermostat and work with our doorbell, while Google Home will not. The sound on the Echo Dot is surprisingly good. Overall, it works as advertised.

Alexa is very smart and a great assistant. She can play music, tell you the weather, and make a shopping list for you, and even remind you to do things. I’m also able to control all of my smart devices that are Alexa compatible.

This was a gift from purchasing a TV from BB and I was quite surprised at the ease of use and setup of Alexa. Good sound quality and adept at voice recognition.

My favorite part about the echo dot is I can sync them all to play the same music from my phone. I have one in every room and I can adjust the volume. It’s like having a wireless speaker system in my entire house. The sound is not overpowering so if you’re looking for something that will be super loud, this may not be the device for you, however, if you’re looking for subtle music to play, while entertaining, you will love this!

I was very surprised at how well this little thing projects sound. It's literally the size of a hockey puck, but can really do a great job at filling a room with music. Can understand your requests quite well, and very simple to setup and use.

This is my second one of these. The best aspect of this generation compared to 2nd generation is the speaker. It is louder and clearer. The physical design also looks better with surrounding home decor. I"m pleased to own this.

We purchased during the holidays so we got at a great price. The sound is great and the size is very convenient. My family loves! Especially my 1yr old who is learning to talk. I ended up purchasing a second one.

At first I was skeptical, then I installed it, and started to use it. It plays music, games, trivia, also sets reminders for me, and I use it as an alarm sometimes. I have 2 more installed and it works great as an intercom system when needed.

I love that it’s compact and the color is easy to disguise. Alexa is great! I love that I can start playing music with ease. Setting reminders and adding things to my grocery list had become much easier.

After having a 1st gen, this is a nice upgrade in looks! Also very easy to set up. My 6 year old loves asking Alexa math questions and to tell him jokes! I look forward to adding NEST thermostat that I can control with this!

As an addition to our Alexa family this Dot is great for entertaining. I can easily take it anywhere there’s a plug. The sound is very clear. Easy to use. Great outside or in the garage to listen to music or check on things.

The sound on this speaker is absolutely incredible for such a small device. I wish it was cordless and rechargeable but responds well and it great for playing music. Considering getting another one for another area if the house!

Love these echo dots! I have these in several rooms to be able to use Alexa. Helps automate my house, communicate like an intercom, use for music, and set timers for cooking.

Installation was very easy. I was quite impressed with the quality of sound coming from it. I didn't expect perfection, but this exceeded my expectations. I love the fact that it takes up very little space as well.

Great idea for older folks, they can just talk to it, hear music, ask various questions, and can hook up to a phone and have a safety of "call xxx" if they fall, also hooked up to lights, so they can turn off and on verbally.

I'm going to get to the chase. This is the BEST speaker I've ever heard for under $50. The functions of the echo along with the music playing functionality and the sound quality makes it a steal at this price point.

Great intro into the world of what Alexa can do. It has nearly all the functions of the more expensive models and was actually fun to learn and add additional units in other rooms. The speakers have surprisingly good sound.

More compact than the 4th generation "ball," but just as capable--especially if you're not relying on it for a music speaker where the highest fidelity and volume are required.

Small and sleek design, picks up my voice from area in the room, controls my LG and Toshiba tv with ease.

The echo dot 3rd generation was a wonderful Xmas gift that I have to all my kids. My kids absolutely love it because they can utilize the echo dot to play music, determine the weather and drop in on us and each other to have quick conversations. We also have a doorbell that is connected to Alexa and the echo dot will let everyone at the house know when someone is at the door. I am blown away how something so small and affordable can be so powerful. I have been able to utilize the echo to create a grocery list, start my car remotely and even display the blink front door camera on my television. This is a must have!
