    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.

    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.

    Echo Dot (3rd Gen) Smart Speaker with ClockWe love

    Wait until they go on sale. We love our Echo Dot (3rd Gen) Smart Speaker with Clock! No more fumbling with buttons in the dark, just say: "Alexa, set alarm clock for 12 noon" and that's it! You will be on time for all your early afternoon appointments. It also being the (3ed gen) it works with all the other (3ed gen) Echo. So if you have multiple Echo"s" you can set up if music plays on just 1 some or all" Also you can set up a grouchy list, tell Alexa what you want on the list and then that list links with the Echo app on your phone when you go shopping.

    I like this better than google product. Only drawback is it was a package deal with a smart light that I could use since google NEVER recognized either of the 2 philips hue I bought. Never saw the light.

    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.

    We had a google home mini and then we got an Echo Dot free with a Best Buy purchase. We like “Alexa” better. Everyone in our family (5 year old included) is easily able to use this device. If you’re trying to decide on one of the “home” devices, I would say buy this one.

    This is such a practical little device. I have Siri on my iPhone but I don’t always have it on me especially in the kitchen which is where we placed this. I use it for the timer, unit conversions, music, phone calls, etc. It also listens better that Siri on my phone.

    I love having an Echo in most rooms of my house because I can link them and play the same music in each room as well as be able to take advantage of the personal assistant asking for weather reports and other handy information. This was my 3rd Echo

    This little smart speaker is amazing! You can ask it practically anything, and now the music will integrate with Apple music. So if you have a subscription, it will play anything in the Apple library. I also have a 1st gen Echo Dot and this 3rd gen has much better speakers.

    I bought 2 Echo Dots which I have in different rooms in my house. My parents use them to play music and control some TP-Link smart plugs with Christmas lights plugged into them. I have had no issues and I think the 3rd generation Echo Dot sounds quite good for a $30 wifi speaker.

    Had a little bit of hard time connecting, but I like it once it got set up. don't have to listen to my phone for music when I doing things in the house just ask her to play my playlists. Bought one for my in-laws so they could remember doctor appt. and remembering general things.

    Simple to set up and easy to add on features like lighting for your home. Wasn’t sure about buying this but my son wanted one for his birthday. We now have three in our home. Signed up for amazon music instead of the free trial subscription Best Buy included.
