    I bought 2 Amazon Echo Dots for my daughter for a stocking stuffer at Christmas thinking she would probably be returning them ... but we had so much fun playing with them we ended up buying 3 more so we would have one in every room! You can use them for many tasks, but I enjoy them for music, news & weather. The sound is amazing for thier size. We got the larger Echo for the family room due to improved sound!

    What can I say about Alexa? Alexa is the best gift I received for Christmas from Best Buy. It manages all my voice requests efficiently. I recommend it because it’s also hands free. You need Alexa when you are busy with other non-hands free projects

    I have been putting off getting an Echo for a while. I don’t know why but I finally got one. Two days later I got a second one! I am just learning all the possibilities. Listening to XM in the home is much simpler now. Just say, “Alexa, play xxxx on SiriusXM.” Also, walking into a dark house is no longer an issue. A simple command will turn on the lights. There are many more things for me learn about with Alexa.

    I got this for free when I purchased a tv. It really surprised me at how far Amazon has come with its AI technology, I’m an apple user. Alexa is very intuitive and I appreciate how user friendly and creative this speaker functions. I have it right at my front door so I can see when I have notifications. It’s very nice.

    It is so easy to set up reminders, be it periodic reminders or one off reminder. Sound is much improved from previous echo dot. For web searches, I find google voice to be better.

    I bought everyone in my family a dot for Christmas gifts this year. Very easy to set-up! I have my Christmas tree and porch lights connected for automation. I even added my work out routine with timers as a custom blueprint. The games are great too! I especially love the drop-in feature that I use to check in with the kids or use as an intercom! Alexa even connects to my firestick and controls my tv functions.

    good Echo unit. Didn't realize it had a power brick plug (small and unobtrusive) so couldn't use my built in USB plug that we used with the 2nd Gen Dot. Fabric cover is nice, blends in with decor. You won't use this as your main music playing device, but it had good sound, My granddaughter loves listening to the rain sounds app to go to sleep.

    I bought this one for my husband for Christmas 2021. We already have one installed in our front room and I love the speaker quality of this version vs the last one. I would definitely recommend this third generation echo dot. Very affordable price as well. We get many, many, hours of enjoyment from it daily

    To be honest, I just got this out of curiosity to see what it could do. My wife is pretty skeptical about having one in the house with the report of these things recording your conversations. I didn't get this with the intent of doing any home automation. I did also get an Echo Show that I connected to the Ring doorbell to monitor the front door. So, it doesn't get used around here a lot except to check the weather, monitor the Ring doorbell, ask an occasional question, and stream the occasional music. I'm actually impressed with what this thing can do. Maybe I'll find more uses for it.

    Echo Dot is my way to get to Alexa. Alexa is my go-to when I want to know what the temperature is outside or what the day’s weather will bring. In combination with another device, we use Echo Dot and Alexa to shut off a lamp and turn on a nightlight. Echo Dot and Alexa tell us when an Amazon package has been delivered at the mailbox. We enjoy the convenience and you will, too.

    This product was purchased to replace an earlier model. It has a better overall look and a slightly better sound than before. The performance is about the same as the earlier model. If you are getting a new echo device or want to upgrade the looks, this is a fine model. I would recommend waiting for a sale before purchasing which happens frequently.
