    I use it as an intercom for my child's room. They use it to listen to music, ask silly questions, tell dad jokes, along with who knows what else.

    This is a great product which we use in our home. Although we haven't had it very long, we enjoy finding out all the things it can do for us. So far, it has worked very well.

    Better sound quality. Better micro phone, but not by much. Better appearance, similar to the Google Home Mini. Functionality is of course the exact same as all the other echos.

    The clock feature is a great addition to the echo dot. I use it as a bedroom clock radio. It is also connected with a smart electric outlet to a lamp. Awesome.

    So many features I find really useful. The feature I enjoy the most is that I’m able to see the history of what has been asked of Alexa while my child is at home ;)

    This is my 2nd Alexa purchase. Wanted to get the Dot to have in the bedroom. I love falling asleep to the rain, wind chimes and crickets on Sleep Sounds! Definitely worth the money!

    I have the 2nd generation already. The 3rd generation is far and away better and at a great cost right now. What is better: looks, SOUND QUALITY is light years better. Unbelievable!
