Amazon Echo Dot - Black

Echo Dot v3 is useful and great fun

Echo Dot v3 was simple to set up and has really great audio quality. It also came with free unlimited Amazon Music for a period which is a great bonus. You can easily configure it to tell you the conditions of your commute, or to control your smart appliances. Useful and great fun, and good value for money!

Could be better

This is a good purchase for the price. Criticism are that the sound at lower volumes is pretty poor, sounding very muffled. Also it gets annoying when making a playlist that you often can't get the original version of a song as it doesn't recognise the request & instead will select any remastered versions.

Amazing piece of tech

The echo dot is an amazing device. It has taken over telling me the time, the weather to reading me books at bedtime. My family love it so much we have one in every room as well as the bedrooms. It makes a lovely gift for grown ups and children alike not only for Xmas but birthdays and other occasions too.

Great piece of very clever kit

Really impressed, easy to connect and use. Speaker quality is ok, but considering the size of the unit it’s about as much as one might hope for. That aside, very pleased with it, next day delivery from Argos to a local sainsbury store so I am a happy customer and happy to recommend the product and Argos.

Great little gadget

We have the full Echo in our kitchen and purchased the dot for our 8 Yr old daughter to use. Great for her to play music from amazon and even helps with her homework lol. Be sure to turn on parental controls though when letting little ones use it. I pressed with sound quality given its very small size.

Classy but Deaf

I like this and like the fact you can change the wake up phrase. Sound is also fine for me. Cannot however give it more than three stars because it is deaf. Slightest background noise seems to prevent from waking up and I get sick and tired of its none response. Once it acknowledges you it works spot on.

Much improved

I already have a Gen 1 Echo Dot and I am very pleased with it. this Gen 3 Dot is very much improved though I did not expect the improved sound as well as the improved audio pick up of the new unit. I am already well aware of the benefits this computer can bring and may possibly buy another one next year.

I absolutely love my echo dot, easy to set up

I’m not very “tech” minded and hadn’t even considered getting an echo dot...until I was at my friends house and saw how fantastic this wee gem is. Very easy to set up and very easy to use. I love it. Plays my fave tunes, audible books etc. Iv now got 2 more on order for my kitchen and kids room.

Adding Alexa

Ordered online for a next day delivery. Arrived no problems, very easy to set up to. After downloading the free Alexa app and away you go. The sound is suburb from such a small unit. It’s even faster when asking it to play the radio than to turn on the dab radio. Very impressed by it. Great value.

Simple to set up easy to use and handy !

The echo dot is cheap, has great sound quality and is easy to set up, you do need download the app for setup but it’s simple and it walks you through set up. I already recommended to my due to not having a stereo, she now uses her for all her music needs , and to say goodnight to as she lives alone!!!

Beware

If you are buying this for a second room, be aware that Amazon rips you off to play music. If you have one already, you pay £3.99 month for music.. if you add a second speaker for another room, they charge you £9.99 month. Doesn't seem right, especially as you are buying their equipment to play it on.

My new Amazon dot is great fun, and we love it.

Amazon dot is great. My only criticism would be that in order for it to play music on demand you need to sign up to something like amazon music or Spotify. It will play the radio for free though, games and information from the internet, so plenty of other things to query. Would definitely recommend.

Small but mighty and smart

Great purchase if you want extend your Alexa sistem or the interaction of your smart home devices. It’s also good if you want try Alexa for the first time, since it’s cheaper but complete, or if you want a small speaker with a stunning sound (value/ price). Recommend for the bedroom... 5 stars!

Still a little expensive

A definite improvement on the previous model, better speaker. Amazon making improvements to the software all the time. I find them very handy especially like the ease of setting reminders and they're better for this than the google home. Although the Google home are better to use as a speaker network.

Brought this for my son for Christmas He loves it hasn’t stopped using it! He plays Maths games with Alexa which will potentially help him with his maths skills Which is a plus. You get 30 days free Amazon music trial there after it is 3.99 a month. Easy to set up and use would recommend to anyone.

Small and Neat Amazon Dot

Absolutely love my Amazon Dot. I’m amazed at this little device. So easy to set up and we’ve had loads of fun with it too. Just love the music choices and from what we’ve asked Alexa we’ve not been disappointed. Well worth the £3.99 a month subscription. Best gadget we’ve ever bought.

Great for stroke sufferer

Bought to aid a stroke sufferer be able to check the time, the weather, listen to the radio and read books. The books bit was a surprise as Alexa reads kindle books from the point they are at. A life saver for someone struggling to read again and unable to use everyday things. Did it’s job well.

Fantastic Echo Dot

This is one of those gadgets that anyone who can afford it must have! It's been a joy to see how different everyone in my household relates/ uses it ...especially my toddler whose speech is rather sketchy. He is improving his pronunciation, just so Alexa can understand him. A lovely, fun purchase!

Even better then the second gen!

I started off with the 2nd gen Echo Dot, and was really pleased with how that performed. So looking to expand to other rooms I bought this version. Complete up grade, sound is amazing for its size, and even better mics to pick up your voice. Set up in about a min or less and looking at getting more.

Fabulous!

I recommended this to my Nan and she bought it for my grandad for their anniversary. Safe to say he absolutely loves it! It’s so responsive and even works with his Samsung phone which isn’t the newest of phones! Connecting was easy and they already have the hang of it. I love the amazon Alexa.

Great little gadget

I got this for my mum on her birthday. She loves it! I have one too. I would highly recommend this item to anyone. So many uses within the home, from hands free calling and texting to looking up recipes, making shopping lists, getting weather, news and sports reports to reminders, timers and music.

Makes life easier!

Brill product, connected it to my tv so I have to just say what I want to watch and it’s put on, my lights also work through it and with a young child it makes life easier when your hands are full. Also looks sleek and fits in well around our living room. Going to get a second for the bedroom. :)

echo dot is great for kitchen

We bought this for use in our kitchen and it works well. It can do calculations for cooking times. You can put numerous timers on it. It replaces our digital radio and also connects to our spotify account to play music of our asking. A great gadget and bought at half price so brilliant value also.
