Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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

I enjoy my echo dot! Cooking timer and sound of rain on repeat every night is mostly what I use it for, sndvto thstvend it does its job.

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.

Small, practical and efficient. really smart and easy to use.

It is the perfect size. The sound quality is excellent. It does everything I need it do. Have not had any problems.

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.

Bought for my 86 year old dad....he LOVES it! Easy to set up, great sound.

Yeah… i got this for free. It is really useful. I could use for alarm, play some music and ask some weather everyday without touching anything.

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!

This is a step up from the original model in looks, feel and sound. It's not really used to listen to music regularly but works as needed and sounds better than the original. The newer spherical models are a further improvement in sound quality. I like the aux./analog 3.5mm output to connect to external amp/speakers or older audio equipment.

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

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!!!

Had this as a gift to my son for Christmas and he really loved it. He often asked Alexa questions. It also works on most electronic/wifi device and great assistant (weather, music, alarm etc).

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.

Great product! The Echo Dot has made it easier to call the family down for meals. It makes communication easy. It also has a great speaker to listen to Spotify.

Besides telling jokes and ordering products on Amazon, the Echo Dot makes a great smart home hub. Alexa has no issues with my voice or even my wife's, who has a slight accent. Using the Dot, I control multiple light switches with it through my voice and integrations with the skills. My wife also likes to check the weather before venturing out for the day. With two of these we have also set up an intercom between rooms. The only negative side is registering the device with a single account, instead of allowing multiple accounts use on the device with unlock pass codes. I recommend the Echo Dot for anyone with Amazon Prime or those setting up smart devices in their home.

The speaker is just as they said players with clarity, good sound and good based. The speaker is small but packed some punch and filled the room.

This suprised me with the simplicity and ease of set up. The device works well and the speaker is of good sound quality considering how small it is. I think it sounds as good as my JBL Flip 3.

LOVE this Echo Dot! Very easy to set up and the sound from it is amazing for a small speaker. Bonus: you have sync it with a blue tooth speaker!
