    Love these! We have several in the house and use them constantly to turn lights on and off via special bulbs and plugs. Also use them to play music, make phone calls, check the weather, news, set reminders, alarms, etc. So much you can do!

    it came free with the TV

    Look, it came free with the TV. I'm not a fan of these things, but with the way technology works, your cellphone already grabs information when you talk and filters your data. I gave it away to someone who would use it as opposed to stare at it suspiciously waiting for the AI uprising. She's quite pleased. If you want to ask Alexa to play Baby Shark, this is for you. If you've seen the entire Terminator series more than once, avoid it.

    I have the Dot in my bathroom to play music and to be there when I have those random thoughts I need reminders for. This thing can hear me when I'm downstairs in another room talking to my other Alexa. Sound is great and I'm happy with it.

    Decided to buy this one instead of the newest model because i love the size and still has the same quality. It’s practical and small to be placed anywhere. Great audio and nice color. So practical to control everything in a room.

    We have these in various rooms throughout the house and I even have one connected to my stereo in my workshop for streaming music via Pandora. Works great for whole house music and so much more.

    We are an Amazon Alexa household. We have dots in every room and the bigger Echos in our living and family rooms. This is my first of the 3rd generation dots and I am impressed. Fit and finish are far superior to the older dots and the sound quality is so much better.

    Great to have. Asking any questions to telling Alexa to add items to grocery list which goes to my phone and keeps them in categories which makes shopping easy. She even turns lights on and off when told

    Fairly easy to set up. Works like a charm on my smart plugs, wifi light bulbs, and TV. Not a great speaker for just playing music, but given size and price, that should be expected. The only real negative to me, was if you want to change wifi connections, it is not intuitive at all. Kind of a pain. I also have a Google Home speaker and it difficult to change wifi connections as well. You'd figure that process would be intuitive and easy, but not at all.

    Good sound quality and size. For Alexa, I’d recommend for smaller rooms. For real sound get the bigger ones.

    When I bought the Phillips Hue smart kit, this was an add on for free (same deal on amazon) but I got them faster. The echo dot was a great addition to the bedroom to give whole house functionality to the lights. And better use to Alexa. Happy I grabbed this deal when available.
