- Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2025Color: Glacier WhiteConfiguration: Device onlyVerified PurchaseThe Amazon Echo Dot offers great sound quality for its size and is super easy to set up. I love having Alexa around to control smart home devices, answer questions, and play music with just my voice. The compact design fits nicely anywhere, and it integrates well with other Amazon services.
My only small complaint is that the bass could be a bit stronger, and sometimes Alexa mishears commands in noisy environments. Overall, it’s a fantastic device for the price and a great entry point into smart home tech.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2025Color: Deep Sea BlueConfiguration: Device onlyVerified PurchaseBeen using this Echo Dot 5th Gen since August 2023 and it's been fantastic. The sound quality is noticeably better than previous generations - much more vibrant and fuller than you'd expect from such a compact device.
After getting this one, I ended up buying another Echo Dot and an Echo Pop, but the Dot is definitely superior to the Pop in terms of audio quality and overall performance. The helpful routines feature works seamlessly and makes daily tasks much easier.
The Alexa+ upgrade has been a solid improvement, adding even more functionality. The Deep Sea Blue color looks great and feels well-built.
One minor drawback: You can only transfer what's currently playing between Echo devices if you're using Amazon Music. Would love to see this feature expanded to other streaming services like Spotify or Apple Music.
Despite this limitation, it's an excellent smart speaker that delivers way more than its size suggests. Highly recommend for anyone looking to start or expand their smart home setup.
Pros: Great sound, compact design, reliable Alexa features, good value, routines, alarms
Cons: Limited audio transfer between devices for non-Amazon Music
- Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2025Color: CharcoalConfiguration: Device onlyVerified PurchaseI wasn’t expecting to love the Echo Dot as much as I do, but it’s become a staple in my home. The sound quality is surprisingly rich for its size — perfect for music, podcasts, and even white noise when I’m sleeping. Alexa is super responsive and makes everyday tasks easier. I use it to set reminders, check the weather, control my smart lights, and even play trivia games when I’m bored.
Setup was quick and easy, and the design blends in nicely with any room. Honestly, for the price, it’s an amazing value. Whether you’re new to smart devices or just want an upgrade, the Echo Dot is a game-changer!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2025Color: CharcoalConfiguration: Device onlyVerified PurchaseThe Echo Dot has been a fantastic addition to my smart home setup. Its compact size makes it easy to fit anywhere, and the sound quality, while not as robust as larger speakers, is surprisingly good for its size.
I love the Alexa integration; it's convenient to control my smart devices, set reminders, and ask for quick information. The voice recognition is impressive, even from across the room.
However, I wish the speaker had a slightly louder maximum volume for larger spaces. Also, the lack of a headphone jack limits some audio options.
Overall, the Echo Dot is a great value for anyone looking to dip their toes into smart home technology!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2025Color: Deep Sea BlueConfiguration: Device onlyVerified PurchaseI bought this Alexa speaker and it really exceeded my expectations. The sound is clear, with good bass for its size, and it gets loud enough for a room. Alexa responds quickly, understands voice commands well, and is super useful for playing music, setting alarms, controlling lights, and more.
It was easy to set up, and the design looks great. I also like that it works as a Bluetooth speaker and connects easily to Spotify.
What I liked the most:
✔️ Good sound quality
✔️ Fast and accurate Alexa responses
✔️ Easy to use and set up
✔️ Works with other smart devices
Minor downsides:
➖ Needs to stay plugged in (no battery)
➖ Might have trouble hearing you in noisy environments
Overall:
An excellent choice if you want a compact speaker with smart features and solid sound. I highly recommend it!
