    Better sound than the original Dot. We use it on the patio for music and home automation. Looks better and is more solid than the original Dot. Works good .

    Extremely easy set-up and surprisingly great sound. The design in simple and compelling. The only complaint I have is that Alexa can be pretty dumb sometimes, but as she listens in more often she should improve.

    This speaker is not a party at home speaker. After volume 5 it starts to go flat on bass. It’s a good speaker to have spread around the house to give quick commands.

    The 3rd Gen Echo Dot provides much better sound quality than my 1st Gen Dot. Earlier versions did not have the quality of sound or volume as this 3rd Gen does. Glad I updated,

    I bought this new Echo Dot with the digital clock on it to replace my generation one echo dot basically because of the clock on it. That was by far the best move by Amazon and the sound quality is very good. When asking Alexa the temperature outside, she also displays the temperature and when you ask here to turn the volume to a number, that shows too. I noticed there’s been some comments on how to make the display brighter. You have to go into your Alexa app and go to your device and you can set the brightness through that feature in the display feature. Now that I have a clock on this Echo Dot, I use it for an alarm now. Also takes up little space on the nightstand and looks great. I’m very pleased with this product.

    I wanted to add Alexa to my house - I had one of the original Echo Dots and used it sparingly. I'll admit that I wasn't nuts about the always-on listening device. But I took a stab and ordered one of these and am very pleased with the purchase. The sound quality is much better than the first generation, and it definitely meets my requirement to play podcasts and have them sound "not tinny". The fact that Alexa can integrate a skill that links to Apple music is a definitely plus too. Bottom line, if you don't mind (or can get over) the constant "listening in" and are a member of the Amazon ecosystem, this is a great device for the cost.

    Works very well. Picks up voice from a good distance. Easy to connect and use. Sometimes it gets difficult for it to pick up voice while it's also producing audio.

    Super slick product. Set up is a breeze. Connects easily with Amazon services and third-party music providers. Asking Alexa questions bring lots of laughs.

    Alexa has been a member of our family now for almost 11 months. She has answers for us on demand. However her answers are not always the best. She has difficulty understanding things consistently. She is However a great remote control for our lighting.

    I was blown away on how loud and clear this little speaker is. Of course you won’t get deep bass, but it’s still nice and is able to pick up your voice from across the room.

    Really I would give this a 4.5. It has excellent abilities but still has a bit of trouble understanding what you say. It also reacts to all the comercials on TV and out of the blue with some really strange things. That being said I like the way google responds you have to say hey google to wake it up and it has more of a repitoire than alexa. I have these in every room and have all my home as a smart home. Alexa controls the whole house and it can be done from anywhere. I also have sent a dot to my grandkids and we can talk whenever they like. I need to get them a screen but cannot see spending 200.00 and then they break it. I love it and would recommend it to everyone
