Add some bumpers & it's perfect!
I find these Echo Dot 3rd gen (i.e., hockey Puck style) "Dot Genies" to be so convenient that I prefer the 3rd gen over the 4th gen Echo Dots in several applications. We have these installed in our upstairs common hallway (great for announcements for those in their bedrooms), our master bedroom (command central), and now our master bathroom (I know, seems unnecessary...).Given we own three, a review is in order. Simply put, these Dot Genies work very well. Suspending the gen 3 Echo Dots from an outlet with this product seems to actually improve their audio performance. Of course, it primarily provides a neat, tidy and compact form factor. It also makes it easy to move an Echo Dot around the house (assuming one doesn't have an Echo device in every room); literally just unplug, plug & play.The only knock on this product (and presumably every similar product available) is that the offset isn't large enough to account for the difference between the surface of the electrical outlet plate and the wall. Thus, the Echo Dot won't sit flush on the wall. Happily, I found an easy solution that works perfectly! Just install some self-adhesive rubber bumpers (the type used for kitchen cabinets & drawers) on the underside of the Dot Genie. Once applied, the Echo Dot will be squarely aligned to the outlet and sit flush on the wall with its rubber feet (bumpers)!There are many similar looking products on the market; some are cheaper. However, I settled on this one because the speaker is not obstructed by the clasping mechanism. The speaker is also very securely attached, but can be removed from the Dot Genie without damage if desired. So, a solid 5 out of 5 starts (provided rubber bumpers are used).

Good quality, looks and value!
This handy little Echo Dot mount serves the purpose at a reasonable price. Looks good. Good quality and value. Perfect snug fit.. Quick and easy installation. Combined with the functionality and comfortable look of the Echo Dot this becomes a functional and nice looking addition to the room, which is a winning combo. All you need is an outlet to plug it into. Perfect for a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom or utility room. This one went into the gym. Going whole-house with your smart house investment? You will want some of these. Buying again as a gift for a friend. Can't wait til Prime Day!

Out of the way,secure mount,And works perfect
Simple product, but it works. It may feel cheap and flimsy, because of the plastic, but that’s because the ease of snapping in the Echo Dot, and just like in the description it’s made not to cover up any of the speakers . I got this one for the bedroom, and it was all right on the nightstand, but you still have the cord in the space it takes up. So. As you can see were my eyes matted, it worked perfect, because it’s up high and I can still use it as an alarm clock . It was an outlet I put in when I had my little TV . But wherever you decide, with the cord wrap behind it, I keep it neat and clean and plus I have it synced with my Amazon echo , and my second generation Amazon dot , that sits in the portable speaker dock from i-box.. someone I want to listen to a little music it’s perfect because the sound on the dot three it is way better than the first or second generation . So getting up for work within a few seconds he can play a little music, and it’s just like heaven in a household stereo system, and then at night I just have the dog at three come on and I’ll do the ocean sounds or rain and thunder . I know my review talks more about the Amazon products, but the “MOUNT genie”, was a quick review because it’s a no brainer item that works fine ,And it’s not going to fall out from wherever you mount it.

It works and looks nice.
Ok it took me a few minutes to figure out how to get the cord wrapped up even though the instructions said frustration proof installation, but then I am blonde and was really over thinking it. Just put it in there after the plug and dot are in place. I think the plastic is a little thin so may break if someone was rough with it and again if someone brushed up against it while it was hanging may also knock the dot out but really it seems secure enough if treated nice enough. This dot and holder is the one I use in the kitchen but with this holder I can also easily move it outside when I want music out there and not have to deal with cords. Yes I would buy again.

A Must for Neat Freaks
After buying the Dot Genie, I wish that Amazon had originally designed the echo dot to be outlet mounted. I am now a huge fan of the Dot Genie and bought 4 of them for my 3rd gen echo dots (2 white ones for the Sandstones and 2 black ones for the Gray and Charcoal). I freed up counterspace/table space and lost the cord clutter. I also like the fact that it is easy to move the dot from one outlet/room to another without having to mess with the cord. I also feel like I can position the dot in more ideal locations providing more of an "intercom" feel and better voice recognition (even if it is an outlet near the floor -- like 2 of them in my photos).I had to hang one Genie "upside down" because of the counter backsplash, and the Genie became top heavy and does not stay completely flush to the wall. The mount is secure and I am not afraid that it will fall from the outlet, so this is more of an aesthetics issue for me. I am considering using removable foam tape to hold it flush. Other reviewers mentioned that the buttons are also upside down, but I rarely use the buttons so this was a non-issue for me.The assembly was a breeze and the cord easily wrapped up inside the back of the mount. I like the fact that there was ample room for the cord so that it is completely concealed, unlike other designs that I researched.

Works well, good value
This is exactly what I was looking for. I’m able to utilize the plug I wanted even though I have no shelf nearby. Easy to install, looks neat and tidy, no cord showing. Would recommend and would buy again!

Práctico y fácil de instalar
Este soporte para Alexa es muy práctico cuando tienes poco espacio o simplemente no puedes poner a tu Alexa en una mesita. Busqué el soporte que cubriera las bocinas laterales lo menos posible, y este producto funciona muy bien. No distorciona el sonido. No daña ni a Alexa, ni el cuadrito del enchufe, ni el cable. La calidad del plastico es aceptable. No recomendable si necesitas colocar tu Alexa en posición horizontal.

Compact, clean look, makes moving echo dot around the house very simple.
I really like these. When you get them, they look like a cheap flimsy piece of plastic.... once you install the echo dot, it’s solid, compact, no wires to hide and makes it simple to take to another room, just unplug it and bring it to another outlet and plug it back in. May not be ideal if your dot has the digital clock display, but really how hard is it to just ask Alexa what time it is? I wear a watch, so no real need for a digital clock on my dot.
