  • Echo Dot is our most popular voice-controlled speaker, now with improved sound and a new design.
  • Ask Alexa to play music, answer questions, find recipes, read the news, check the weather, set alarms, control compatible smart home devices and more.
  • Stream songs from Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, TuneIn and others through the built-in speaker with a fuller sound. Services may require subscriptions or other fees.
  • Instantly drop in on other rooms in your home or make an announcement to every room with an Echo. Make calls and send messages between supported Echo devices and the Alexa App.
  • Alexa is always getting smarter and adding new features and skills, like Fitbit for tracking your fitness, NextThere for planning your commute, Sleep and Relaxation sounds for better sleep, and fun games for the family.
  • With 4 far-field microphones, Alexa can hear you from across the room. And with compatible Echo devices in different rooms, you can fill your whole home with music.
  • You can also connect to your own speakers over Bluetooth or with a 3.5 mm audio cable.
  • Use your voice to turn on lights, adjust thermostats, control your TV and more, with compatible connected smart home devices.

Home Security from Amazon

Link your Ring account to Alexa for hands-free home monitoring so you’ll always know when someone’s there. Enable announcements in the Alexa app to hear alerts on compatible Echo devices when anyone presses your doorbell or triggers Ring’s built-in motion sensors. Then talk to visitors through compatible Echo devices, like Echo Dot or Echo Show, by simply saying “Alexa, talk to the front door.”

Always ready to help

Make your life easier at home. Use your voice to set timers, add items to lists and create calendar events and reminders. You can also check the news, weather or traffic. Ask for sports scores, movie times, restaurant hours or information.

Voice control your smart home

Manage compatible smart home devices using your voice. Switch on the lamp before getting out of bed, turn on the coffee maker on your way to the kitchen, or dim the lights from the couch to watch a movie — all without lifting a finger.

Control multiple devices with a single voice command, like switching off the TV and turning off the lights at night. Learn more about the different ways you can connect your smart home device.

Connect with others

Use Drop In to instantly connect to another compatible Echo at home or send an announcement across Echo devices, such as calling the family for dinner or reminding the kids to go to sleep. You can also call friends and family who have a supported Echo device or the Alexa App. Plus, now with Skype calling stay in touch with friends and family in over 150 countries.

Simple to Set Up & Use

Stock up with Alexa

When you are running low on household essentials, Alexa makes it easy to replenish your pantry. You can add everything from batteries to nappies to your Amazon Cart, reorder favourite products from Amazon and ask Alexa the status of your recent Amazon orders.

Great Upgrade with super sound!

Great Upgrade with super sound!
Purchased the echo dot 2 a few days ago and liked it, then purchased the echo dot 3 with a $20 off voucher and the unit arrived today and I love it! Much easier to setup, the speakers are phenomenal compared to the previous generation and it looks much more aesthetically pleasing. One complaint is the power adapter that isn’t interchangeable, you have to buy the proprietary adapter should anything happen to it. No longer can you use another micro-usb cable. Highly recommended upgrade.

I love using this thing. Super handy when I'm sitting at my desk and need a quick timer to be set up or to set a reminder for later in the day. It also controls my lights in my room so I can lay in bed and turn them off when I'm finished reading.
Haven't even begun to explore everything it can do, but so far I'm very impressed.

This is my first echo I purchased from Amazon and was delivered in good time. Set up was very easy and sound is great for a small little speaker , some good bass and loud with minimal distortion at peak volume. I use it to listen to news , weather, Spotify premium music online radio and I also sign up to Amazon prime to benefit from good movies , music and posting of gadgets. Great to have it next to my bed to set alarms with music or set reminders , wake up with my favorite music. As a music lover I can bluetooth , wifi and use auxiliary to my larger sound system and use Alexa to change a song and play next one. Can't work out if Alexa is brunette or blonde because she understands me and love talking to her lol. She can tell you jokes and do things by just saying to play certain music , a must have smart product , still setting up my other Broadlink hubs and Sonoff smart product's and linking them to my Alexa account to be smart lol. Love this product , if u want better then go bigger to plus with built in hub.So much you can do with her like setting up a routine to turn on your wifi smart light and your kettle when you use Sonoff wifi sockets and turn aircon on or tv , love my smart home .

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect device to jump into smart home automation
Reviewed in Australia on 20 October 2018

I was sceptical about this or any other smart speaker device's.... thinking what can they do better than me using my phone and accessing Google assistant or Alexa....but I was wrong...I've only had it for 2 days and it does more than I expected...it responds easily to my voice...it connects seamlessly with my portable Bluetooth speaker as well as with my 9.1ch surround sound system without having the need to take out my phone and go through all these steps to connect the phone to Bluetooth...All I have to do is say connect or disconnect the speaker....
It is worth the price you pay for...the quality of the build is very good and it doesn't look like a cheap gadget....
It's also a good idea to invest in Amazon prime as you can now get access to millions of songs from Amazon music which you can stream through this device....
Hoping to expand my Amazon devices in the future and maybe get an Amazon echo plus or echo show on black friday if the price is right...
The only thing that I'm disappointed with this device is that I can't control my Daikin ducted air conditioning..... Hopefully they can implement it in future updates or skills...

Hardware is good, software needs work. Should feel like an easy conversation you could have with a human, but feels exactly like what you’d expect; talking to a robot with limited capacity to make logical jumps. It’s impossible to have a conversation with it because it doesn’t realise it can take information from the last question to answer the next like, how “big is the sun?” and then “when will it burn out?”. And you can’t ask it to do multiple things at once like, “turn off the living room light and turn on the kitchen light” so it’s constantly “Alexa, this” and “Alexa, that”. It’s hard work and it shouldn’t be. Also, I don’t know if it’s our Australian accents, but she “doesn’t understand” or “can’t find” a fair bit and tbh right now it’s easier to just open my phone and do it myself. The whole point of these smart devices is to make your life easier and it’s kinda just more frustrating. Considering how many of these things Amazon is flogging and how much money Amazon makes every second of every day, I feel like they could do much much better if they cared more about improving the product than on flogging more of them. Maybe it’s because their shop doesn’t make them as much money as their web services. 🤷🏻‍♀️
To be fair, Amazon has Google beat when it comes to connectivity of compatible devices, but that’s only because they’ve been at it longer. And outside America, I’m not sure that’s enough.
Can’t comment on its “order more” function because I’d rather spend my grocery money locally than with a huge foreign company with a questionable track record regarding treatment of employees and a growing market monopoly not quite leashed by it’s barely there adherence to anti trust laws regarding consumer welfare. None of which stopped this hypocrite from buying stuff from Amazon during their Black Friday specials, a sale we don’t even have in Australia, following a holiday we don’t even celebrate in Australia. Damn, I disgust myself. *ahem* 😂 sorry, my woke got away from me.
Moving on, unless Amazon starts improving the AI by leaps and bounds in the next year or so we might have to just keep the Echo in the bedroom where it’s only basic commands like music weather and lights and get rid of the Dot in the living room and replace it with a Google Home.

Wanted a cheap way to have Alexa available in a room (to turn the light and fan on/off at will). It looks neat and the sound quality is passable for something this size.
A good surprise.

Living in Australia it doesn't have some of the commands that would be useful with my fire stick and Nvidia Shield tv. Hopefully that will change in the future. Overall it is a great product and it works for most random questions like sports and weather etc.
