Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!

We purchased this for our living room, and it is very easy to set up. The speaker has great volume, and works well with other devices. Highly recommended!

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!

Works as advertised. It’s compact, sound quality is good for the price of the speaker. It complements my other Alexa enable devices around my home

Extremely easy set-up and surprisingly great sound. The design in simple and compelling. The only complaint I have is that Alexa can be pretty dumb sometimes, but as she listens in more often she should improve.

I bought this for my daughter for Christmas and she absolutely loves it! I’m old school and I was fascinated with how this thing works!

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.

I received one with each of the last 3 Toshiba Televisions I bought. I was not sure how they worked so I just gave one away and put the other two aside .... I saw really popular for Christmas so , I asked my son to set mine up for me... On Christmas .. I asked Alexa to play my favorite Christmas Song by the Temptations and she did so quick and then I asked for my favorite Artist Whitney's Christmas and it shuffled her Christmas Songs .. OMG... it was so hard to put my egg nog down and stop listening to go to bed for work the next day. I am so glad I got my son to set it up for me..

Easy to install and use. Works great and sound good.

I have 4 dots in my home in addition to the ecobee with Alexa. I even have one in my classroom. I love the fact that it can control so much in the home. You can even crank your car with it if you have the feature from onstar and etc. It gets really loud and understands most of the time. I live by these and the price $20 was amazing.

Never had any issue with the dot. Small, compact and powerful speaker that fits into almost any room. Insanely easy to pair with current Alexa speakers

came free with my tv very loud speaker plays Spotify and other apps and

Great for everything! I wish I had one in every room. I love how I can set an alarm or listen to music. The kids love how it will spell words, give definitions, and solve problems.

So simple to use and connect to device. I love the new sound of the 3rd gen. I had 2nd and loved it. The sound upgrade alone was worth the buy. I purchased one for each of my family members.

Really I would give this a 4.5. It has excellent abilities but still has a bit of trouble understanding what you say. It also reacts to all the comercials on TV and out of the blue with some really strange things. That being said I like the way google responds you have to say hey google to wake it up and it has more of a repitoire than alexa. I have these in every room and have all my home as a smart home. Alexa controls the whole house and it can be done from anywhere. I also have sent a dot to my grandkids and we can talk whenever they like. I need to get them a screen but cannot see spending 200.00 and then they break it. I love it and would recommend it to everyone

Easy to set up and use. The quality of music and sound is very good. It's a very good gift that can be used in a variety of settings, wherever there is an Internet connection.

Better sound than first GEN. Still small and looks just as good. Multiple colors to pick from to help it from becoming an eyesore Just go buy it so the government can listen to you

I wanted to add Alexa to my house - I had one of the original Echo Dots and used it sparingly. I'll admit that I wasn't nuts about the always-on listening device. But I took a stab and ordered one of these and am very pleased with the purchase. The sound quality is much better than the first generation, and it definitely meets my requirement to play podcasts and have them sound "not tinny". The fact that Alexa can integrate a skill that links to Apple music is a definitely plus too. Bottom line, if you don't mind (or can get over) the constant "listening in" and are a member of the Amazon ecosystem, this is a great device for the cost.

I bought this new Echo Dot with the digital clock on it to replace my generation one echo dot basically because of the clock on it. That was by far the best move by Amazon and the sound quality is very good. When asking Alexa the temperature outside, she also displays the temperature and when you ask here to turn the volume to a number, that shows too. I noticed there’s been some comments on how to make the display brighter. You have to go into your Alexa app and go to your device and you can set the brightness through that feature in the display feature. Now that I have a clock on this Echo Dot, I use it for an alarm now. Also takes up little space on the nightstand and looks great. I’m very pleased with this product.

The 3rd Gen Echo Dot provides much better sound quality than my 1st Gen Dot. Earlier versions did not have the quality of sound or volume as this 3rd Gen does. Glad I updated,
