Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Its small so easy to find a place for it. Compact design, works well, has surprisingly good sound for its size. I would recommend to anyone.

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.

Very easy to setup through the Alexa app, and the volume quality is awesome in terms of getting the right sound volume you want.

This speaker is not a party at home speaker. After volume 5 it starts to go flat on bass. It’s a good speaker to have spread around the house to give quick commands.

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,

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.

I bought it for my bedroom. It works with plugs and lights well. Great product and great price!

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.

Better sound than the original Dot. We use it on the patio for music and home automation. Looks better and is more solid than the original Dot. Works good .

this is my 1st echo dot. i'm really enjoying it. love that it can play my apple music and update me daily on the news. great price.

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.

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

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

The dot is mostly fun and convenient. I give it 4 stars b/c I said "mostly". Not sure how anyone can think something that works most of the time, instead of all the time, is 5 star material. This is all new tech, so problems should be expected. Getting into an argument w/ Alexa b/c you are so frustrated the device is not doing what you are telling it to do (misunderstands command) only happens occasionally, but it still happens, even many months after purchase. I also use Alexa to control many lights...that is if the lights are still connected. That could be the light brand and could be Alexa, but every couple months I am re-setting up a light that is no longer connected to Alexa, which is not convenient, and convenience is pretty much the point. Overall, I am happy w/ my dots (have 3 and use them as intercoms), just don't expect perfection or 5 star performance.

Works very well. Picks up voice from a good distance. Easy to connect and use. Sometimes it gets difficult for it to pick up voice while it's also producing audio.

I love it! It plays all my music clearly. It can be heard all around my apartment. Its small so l can put it anywhere in my home. It was definitely worth it.

I was blown away on how loud and clear this little speaker is. Of course you won’t get deep bass, but it’s still nice and is able to pick up your voice from across the room.

sounds great, does its job, perfect for living rooms and bedrooms

Super slick product. Set up is a breeze. Connects easily with Amazon services and third-party music providers. Asking Alexa questions bring lots of laughs.
