    I have several spread around my house as I have many Amazon Plugs, Hue bulbs, and a few other devices to control. The Guard feature really works as it detected my dogs nails on the floor as they played. It did sound like glass breakage. I was able to listen to the trigger sound and drop in to that particular dot to continue listening. Really neat feature I appreciate.

    It’s great. My boyfriend needs to get up every 4 hours for medications and well when your half asleep and trying to reset alarms etc it isn’t too easy. I got him Alexa in order to preset his multiple alarms and so that he can voice command it which is far easier then manually trying to stop or set alarms. Game changer. It grew on him.

    Great sound for such a little speaker. This is our 3nd echo and we put it in the kids room. Helps with bedtime stories and jokes when needed. Although very corny jokes, we all get a laugh.

    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

    I control my lights, outlets and TV with this device. I have another one in the house too. I need to get two more so I can control everything else from anywhere in the house. Oh, and I have a Bose SoundTouch Portable on WIFI Connection. Alexa controls it too. Super cool to live a life like Star Trek in the year 2019. I plan to buy more Alexa controlled devices in the future too.

    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

    Sound quality of the 3rd gen much better than the 2nd gen. Otherwise both work well. I found this out by getting a 2nd gen and returning for another 3rd gen. Initially I found it a little confusing to setup through the app. Once I realized what to do it went well. I've used this more than expected, wasn't certain where to keep it and therefore got a second. It's a big plus if you have streaming SiriusXM.

    I had an echo dot (2nd gen) before making this purchase, but after reading the reviews I decided to get another one for the bedroom. I read about the increased sound quality which made my decision to purchase another one easier. My 2nd gen is connected to a stereo and it needs it because it is in a much larger area. The 3rd gen is not connected and the sound functions just fine within the confines of my bedroom. However, when making calls with the 3rd gen as opposed to the 2nd gen, more than one person has said that the 2nd gen sounds much better. I have not been able to determine that it hears me better than the previous gen, but at $29.99 I have no complaints.

    I've enjoyed Alexa's help on several things. I like being able to find out the time when it's dark or I don't have my glasses on. I can turn off lights in other parts of the house when I don't want to get up to do it. One of the best things is being able to create a list of people to contact if you need help. The ability to get reminders and create lists I can get on my phone are great too, Love the Echo!!

    We love our new Alexa devices. It has made things easier in a lot of ways. We use the timer and music functions while in the kitchens, as well as the drop in feature to have intercoms around the house. I especially enjoyed the routine function that allows us to set a series of command functions i.e. turn off lights, and turn on switch with just one phrase. Works well with Phillips Hue and TP Link switches

    Great device to learn facts , play family games with the whole family , assist you with question you may have . Play Amazon music by just saying Alexa play my Amazon music . If you don’t have Amazon music you can play your pandora station thru this device . You just have to enable the shill on the Alexa app and sun your account with the echo dot .
