Customer Ratings & Reviews

Setup Is Cumbersome: Getting both units set up was more difficult than I expected. The Alexa app was not always intuitive, and going through Wi-Fi configuration, linking accounts, and getting routines going felt more time-consuming than it should be. Learning Commands Is a Challenge: Even after setup, teaching Alexa to understand my commands was a bit tricky. I found myself repeating phrasing, and sometimes the responses weren’t quite what I intended. This made using it less seamless than I hoped. Connectivity & Command Recognition Issues: There are known concerns with 5th-gen Dots missing voice commands or not always responding reliably. Some users on forums report that their devices don’t always pick up the wake word, or that connectivity drops. No 3.5mm Audio Jack: One major downside is that this version lacks a physical audio-out jack, so you can’t easily connect it via cable to external speakers. Sound Limitations at High Volume: While the sound is solid at low-to-medium volume, pushing it higher can lead to distortion, especially for bass-heavy content.

The setup was easy since I already have other echos in the house. My other echos resemble hockey pucks so I wasn’t too sure about the new ball shape. However, this one is perfectly shaped for the tap/hover feature where you can tap the top or cover with your palm to pause the sound. I think there is also a better sound quality to this Echo as opposed to me older ones. All in all I’m pleased with my purchase.

Great speaker and responsive. I use it in the kitchen and even with the noise it sounds and responds great.

The Echo Dot has so many convenient features. Want music for motivation, “Hey Alexa”. Need to reorder household supplies, “Hey Alexa”. Add an appointment to your calendar, “Hey Alexa”. Looking for a recipe for supper, “Hey Alexa”. So, so many features available with Alexa and the Echo Dot’s compact design fits in nicely and has a bold sound when playing music. ❤️❤️Alexa!!

Got this for my 70yo MIL and she loves it. So easy to use and it learns your voice and habits. So the more you use it the better it gets.

Excellent product. Great update from previous echo dot. Love the option for different voices. It connected very easily to all my other devices. Its great for everything, asking questions, getting the time, finding recipes, setting alarms, really just a lovely personal assistant voice, right in your room.

This Echo Dot works very well. It is easy to set up using the Alexa app and picks up the wifi signal very well. I replaced a 1st generation Amazon Echo with this because it wouldn't pick up the new signal. This Echo Dot has very good sound for a small speaker and is a lot easier to control.

These little smart speakers are amazing. The sound quality is impressive given its small footprint. We have these smart speakers in almost every room in the house whether the original cylinder type or the echo and echo dot. They great to use as an intercom or to place calls which is handy since my wife is handicapped with limited mobility. I know that she can always reach me if she has a problem. This echo dot was an upgrade from the previous version which can now tell you the temperature of the room that it is placed in. For the price, especially when they are on sale you can't go wrong.

Overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase and recommend it to those looking for an easy-to-use voice assistant with good sound quality. However, it's important to keep in mind the limitations and consider whether it's the right product for your needs.

We connected our Echo Dot to some Govee Light Bulbs and I love the convenience of entering rooms by talking to Alexa. Easy to setup and great sound quality!

I Love my Alexa dot, I use it every day to play music, check the weather, set timers, and ask questions. The sound is good for its size, and it responds quickly. Very helpful and convenient—great for everyday use!

Excellent sound quality. Easy set up and size. Great value.

The Echo Dot Alexa is a game-changer! Compact yet powerful, it seamlessly integrates into your smart home. Its voice recognition is spot-on, and the skills it offers make daily tasks a breeze. For an affordable price, it delivers a premium smart home experience. A must-have for tech enthusiasts!

This smart speaker has been a very nice addition to my home. The sound quality is surprisingly good for its size, with clear voices and enough bass for music, podcasts, and radio. The microphone picks up my voice even with background noise, so controlling lights, timers, and routines is very convenient. Setup through the app was quick and simple, and it works well with the rest of my smart devices. For the price, it offers excellent value and functionality. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a compact smart speaker.

Excellent product, very good and above all easy and practical to install

LOVE this! Great sound and I use this all day long. Love my echo!

Love it. Easy to set up and very reliable. I have no regrets.

Love this echo dot. It goes loud enough to play your favorite jams and it’s small and so Convenient

Speakers are good quality… obviously not Bose level but it gets the job done. If you have smart system in your house, this is a great addition at a low cost.

Amazing price. It takes a little time to set up if you’re looking for a portable speaker or even a AI assistant integrates easy. And pretty easy to use
