Fantastic device looks great
Already have a similar device so knew what to expect. New generation model looks stunning and difficult to find in white, ideal for the bedroom. Simple to configure and add to my existing Amazon app. Having used similar products, the Echo's capabilities are my preference and still leave me amazed that something this small replaces the need for every CD I have ever bought! Purchased when on offer so unbelievable value from Argos, yet again.

Still in it's infancy!
Build wise it's difficult to find fault but Alexa seems to know very little about the world we live in, is hearing impaired and doesn't communicate with the Alexa App very well. It can turn plugs and lights on and off but many of the Alexa ready devices just do not work, I don't know if this is a device, or Alexa problem. I originally bought this to show my grandson how things could be voice operated in the future, he's not that impressed!

Great device at a great price.
Got 3 Dots for Xmas presents all were gratefully received! Very easy to set up Mum was delighted as once she had set up her Amazon account to the Dot Alexa can read her audio books! Great you can get Alexa to send messages, make lists, reminders, play the radio, plays general era/genre music, tells jokes, tells you where local places are, the weather, the list goes on! Very cleaver little device, good sound and looks neat and compact too!

Echo Dot delivers what it promises
Purchased the dot for a Christmas present. I could not find it in stock on Amazon or other retailers so I was delighted it was in stock in my local Argos - priced the same as Amazon too. Set up was straight forward and instructions clear. The only issue I came across was when using Spotify, via an iPod touch. I couldn’t get Spotify to pick up the dot but was fine through iPhones. This may be human error rather than anything else though.

Great sound in a small system
I have upgraded from old dots to the 3rd generation, and they don’t disappoint. They are much clearer sounding than the 2nd gen & I have paired two in the kitchen, the music produced from Prime becomes so much more immersive that it’s hardly possible to detect where exactly they are located even in a relatively small space. The only down side if any, is the new Power is from a small transformer rather than the flexibility of the USB.

Classy, modern design, easy and fun to use
A really classy, modern looking gadget. Easy to set up, though it takes some time to set up initially with your preferences. The only negative is in order to fully make a good use of it and listen to whatever music you want , you need to pay and register with Spotify or Amazon. I have noticed that it does a lot of the things that Google Assistant would do for me. Good use for a radio, quick weather forecast check, news, reminders, etc.

Stylish, minimalist and convenient
Second echo dot we have purchased. First is in the lounge. This was bought for 8 year old daughters bedroom for her birthday and is a huge hit! Very impressed with ease of use, removes the need for bulky speakers and annoying remote controls and allows you to access an abundance of music at the drop of a hat! Apparently has added features allowing both dots to speak to each other but not yet used this function. Very happy with purchase.

Revolutionised music and info listening
Love this thing. No more faffing to plsy the radio or good music on your phone in the am. Using meditation, relaxation and bedime story apps is great. Few hisses on her voice on one occssion and the inconsistency of understanding commands at times. Eg ssk her where sre we snd you get accurate location., then ask her the weather in said location and shes way off? Wont look bsck though until have to start psyimg monthly for amazon music.

Great sound
We bought two of these and already have the larger echo too so place throughout the house. It’s great to have this in different areas of the house, but worth noting if you have signed up for amazon music it dsnt automatically play on multi speakers. However it’s not an additional subscription per speaker, but an increased premium to allow for multi device play. (+£3 I’m sure). We use them all the time so worth it in my opinion.

Alexa turn my heating on.
This model is a great improvement on previous models which greatly enhances the appearance and also the sound. I can ask it to wake me with music, what is the length of the river Nile, the names of Henry the eighth’s children, play music etc etc. I also have “hive” with my heating so I linked them together ( very easy to do) and now can ask it to turn my heating on for an hour or whatever I want. Very novel but also very useful.,

Brilliant
I love this device, sometimes Alexa doesn't get what I want but if I rephrase my words and sentences it seems to recognise my request. I play hours of music on it. Meditate with it. Yoga, work out, also play quiz games with my husband and daughter, set timers and alarms and even ask for facts and jokes. I add new skills daily. Really recommend it especially at lower price. I even gifted one to my parents at Christmas. They love it too.

Echo Dot Superb
Having always thought this wasn't for me and i'd never use it how wrong I was.Sound quality is fantastic from such a small speaker, very easy to use although on set up finding the right App was an issue. Play the radio, daily question, weather, information just ask the list is endless and still learning new things. Having to pay £3.99 a month to listen to any music is a bit of a let down though, that said would definitely recommend.

Really smart device in looks and operation!
I did not have high hopes for this device but I, and the family, are really pleased with what it can do. Two things are most impressive: First, is the speed with which requests are carried out. Second, the variety of things which can be asked of Alexa. It is astonishing! For such a clever device, the cost was very low making for very good value for money. The device makes an excellent and affordable present for friends and family.

Third echo dot!
We already had 2 echo dots at home so bought this third one for our static caravan. Works really well. We tend to use it to receive radio stations, particularly those that don't broadcast on FM, but it is also great for asking questions about travel, news etc. ie, anything that you would look up on Google. Can use it for pop/film quizzes and suspect there's loads of functions we have yet to find. Very easy to set up and a great price.

Echo Dot 3 is brilliant.
We have two of these, both on offer so good value. No more shouting family members to the dinner table. Very easy to use and useful in so many ways. So far we’ve found recipes, checked travel, had bedtime stories, used for homework tests and listened to the radio with good sound quality. Looking to buy another for my parents so they can send and receive texts and calls without the small text of a smartphone. Would highly recommend.

Neat little device with many potential uses
This was the first of three Amazon Echo devices that I purchased over Christmas. Easy to setup using the Alexa App on my phone. Over the Christmas break my family and I have used it for games and quizzes, to answer questions, as an intercom with other Echo devices, to stream music from phones, and to play music with Amazon Music (2 million songs with Prime account), Amazon Music Unlimited (40 million songs for monthly subscription).

Makes things that little bit easier
After visiting family members who were using echos around the house I decided to purchase one for myself. It has made getting things done round the house that bit simpler. I have set reminders and alerts at set times to remind me to do things I normally forget it links easily with my amazon music and Spotify accounts to play high quality audio and its even connected to my speaker system via Bluetooth to play music all over the house.

Easy to use with good sound quality
We opened up the box containing the Amazon Echo dot white and thought we would have to download lots of "skills". But surprisingly it was quick and easy to get up and running. Ideal if you are not very techie. We love listening to music and have found it very easy to access even obscure tracks. The sound quality is good too. Definitely recommend it to people who can't get a good radio reception so long as the have Internet access.

A fun gadget
I found it a bit fiddly to set up, but once done seems to work fine much of the time. I mainly use it to play music & selections, although it’s fun to ask it random questions - it mostly understands me first time, but sometimes I have to repeat & it does seem to “learn” which is both useful & disconcerting. Whether I really need this thing in my life is something I remain a little undecided about for now. It’s fun though.

Alexa says no!
Bought the Amazon Echo Dot but could not get it to connect to the internet. Tried to download the App on my Kindle Fire, Computer, Laptop and Mobile Phone but it would not connect to the internet on any of them. As this was the first time I had tried this device, I thought maybe I was doing something wrong, so asked my daughter, who has the device herself, and it still would not connect. Finally gave up returned for a refund.

Love the speaker it’s loud enough for me
Better than buying a speaker. I like that I can tell alexa to set my alarm and ask weather and time or for her to play music without having to use my phone and I can carry on doing other things. Only annoying thing with alexa is she sometimes doesn’t understand what you saying and will play the wrong song lol. But not a big issue. You need wifi for alexa to actually work but if you can still use her via Bluetooth to play music

Stylish, discreet, great sound for a small device
Very simple to set up with my favourite services such as Spotify. Have been using in the living room and the sound quality made me almost forget about my more powerful speakers. Very receptive to commands and questions. Routines are very handy, after buying this one I set one up in my bedroom as a way to wake up to the radio. Highly recommend to anyone looking to add some reasonably priced smart functionality to their homes.

Great device, can't beat Alexa!
The Echo Dot is a small but very useful and amazing device. Out of all smart devices available from different brands I have found Amazon's Alexa to be the most intelligent and responsive to ANY voice that talks to it, once it even responded correctly when I had a vacuum cleaner running and again when chewing on a sandwich! If this doesn't understand your voice then nothing will! Totally awesome product and totally recommended.

Amazon echo dot made a great gift
I bought this as a gift, didn't want to spend more money on the bigger one incase it wasn't used. The gift went down really well and was easy enough to set up. Im impressed with the sound volume and quality and all the different features. It gets used most days for different things and was well worth the money. The design is nice too and it looks really neat. Would recommend to anyone as there is so much you can do with it.
