Customer Ratings & Reviews

Wow. Easy to setup and the sound is great. I really like that I get notifications that I can accept or not accept. Great product. Thanks

Good sounding speaker to be so small, pairs easy with other components

This updated Echo Dot is cool. Responsive to voice commands and the sound quality is greatly improved over earlier editions. I like the charcoal color.

I love its compact size, especially since it's just for my bedroom. It does exactly what I needed it for which is to connect to my record player. It easily pairs with any device and has great sound quality.

Great for kids, easy to use with perfect sound quality. Love it

very good product price very affordable ,quality of sound good

fun to ask random stuff (faster than searching on my phone) and convenient for making 'dinner's ready' announcements to all the echos in the house as well as listening to music. the sound is decent for a small speaker. the kids like asking alexa to tell them jokes.

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 AMAZON ECHO DOT "Alexa" SMART SPEAKER is somewhat better than the Google Home Mini Speaker in sound quality and in responses given. I tested three of each brand placed throughout my house for 6 months, and I prefer the AMAZON ECHO DOT "Alexa" speaker for SOUND QUALITY and for it's emergency calling feature which not only CALLS the designated person but also sends them a TEXT MESSAGE which the Google Speaker does not do.

[Employee of bestbuy] Amazing product! Love how they can connect through out my house and I can have a whole home surround.

I have both Echo Dot and Google. homrm Both are good at looking up info, telling you the time, or playing a game. But this Echo Dot wins for two reasons. I the the sound is better and it was much easier to set up. The downside is the notifications Alexa tells me about which are nothing but Amazon ads for stuff it thinks I want. That's really annoying!

I've been a die-hard Google Home fan, but recently my Google's speaker has been sounding pretty iffy. SovI decided to switch teams and got 3 Echo Dots, one in each color. I'm impressed with the sound, even as compared to my non-broken Google drvices. They respond quickly and accurately, but I'm annoyed with the "notifications" of things Alexa thinks I should buy.

Live my unit keep music on in the Howard all day it let me know who is at the front door

Great product, works perfectly for the dining room and doesn't take up space or distract from the décor.

5 star's. A speaker and an alarm clock. It's a great item for a college dorm room

Love it had it for year’s and still works I recomend it great sound use it in the kitchen bathroom every where

My grandma loves to use this and the speaker is very good on it. Very easy to use

I purchased this for my elder mom. After having my own for years, I knew she liked it from using it at my house as well as my sisters, but never had her own. The echo dot is great because it gives her a hands free opportunity to take care of things. She can also connect it to a few other smart devices in her house. Overall I think it was a great purchase for her and will be extremely handy.

I LOVE MY ALEXA! TEMP, WEATHER, LOCAL/WORLD NEWS /UPDATES,GOOD SOUND & QUALITY FOR BEING OLDER VESION.

Works great and easy to install. The shape and design is really good as well
