I love this echo dot (3rd Gen) smart speaker. Its easy to set up the sound is good. Just tell it to play music or set the timer it's great.

I love my Echo. It is painless to set up and definitely keeps you entertained. It has good sound quality for its size. Everyone needs one or 2, or 3 in their home!!

It is nice having it in the kitchen as it sounds great and doesn't take much space.

I use my echo to control my lights and to listen to music. The sound quality is great and easy to pair to my devices.

I use this in my bedroom and an echo show in my living room. This one controls my bedroom lights and I use it as an alarm. The small size is good for a nightstand

This is great starter product to introduce you to the alexa series. I was easy to set up. I wish they had different colors but all I could find was the basic black. I really love this device. 4 stars was given due to me order another color and best buy not having the color I chose. Overall a great product.

I love this Amazon echo dot. I use it in the kitchen and It was so easy to figure out. Good sound quality, I am very pleased with this purchase.

Perfect for grandson,he loves the easy set up color and the sound, easy to use..Alexa understand him

Great size to fit one in multiple rooms to keep connected no matter where you are in your house. Can play music on all devices simultaneously as well.

Love this thing. It’s small and doesn’t take up a lot of room but is a great way to stay connected

Bought this one to go in our bedroom. Perfect to use as an alarm, timer, and to listen to music. I love listening to the calming sounds of thunderstorms while drifting to sleep.

This little Echo Dot is a great little speaker. It's get loud enough to hear while I'm moving around the house and can connect to my other Echo and Alexa devices.

Awesome compact speaker. Volume reach is great in our house. Easy to hide from kids, but once they know “Alexa off” it’s a game changer when your favorite song is playing.

This product makes life so much easier as you can get information, play music, or get up to date weather information. I love it I bought several to place around the house.

Alexa is such a must have, to be honest! Its so cool all the things you can do with her, as long as you're connected to wifi. She will always be the best assistant I can have, I got several of them and have them around the house just in case I need an instant speaker! So so so cool, dont doubt in buying her!! *Best Buy College Crew members receive products to write honest, unbiased reviews.

I fall into the camp of I love my Alexa. if you start automating things in your house like I have then she becomes a valued assistant. Always nearby and ready to offer assistance. I got this one for my elderly mom. Now she always has music to listen to, the weather on demand and a backup means of communication in an emergency. I taught her to say "Alexa, call my son" so she doesn't even need to be near her phone should something happen and she needs help. For that alone she is worth it.

I primarily use this as a bluetooth speaker for music with the occasional command to see what the weather will be today. Alexa is very responsive, and the quality of the sound is surprisingly good. Plus I think the design is pretty sleek. I received this as a free gift when purchasing my Ring doorbell.

I am at the beginning stages of making my home a little smarter. I absolutely love my Amazon-Echo Dot. So much, that I have the Echo Plus and 2 Dots. I am on my way!!!!

Sound quality is the best I've heard on a speaker of this size!!! Definitely worth paying a little extra for this one over the 2nd generation model. I'm not going to discuss the functionality as there's tons of info already out there. One important note: If you set up the Alexa app on your phone, IT WILL IMPORT ALL OF YOUR PHONE CONTACTS. I didn't think I gave it permission to do so but Alexa did indeed import my contacts! You may have read stories how, WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE, Alexa can record what's being said in your home and then send it to ANY or ALL of those contacts! Yikes! And, I won't want any of my kids to accidentally send messages to or call people on my contact list. So, if you want to keep your contacts from Alexa and prevent that from happening here's how I did it: Before installiing the Alexa app on your phone, export your contacts to a file and save it for later. Then, go back to the phone and delete those contacts (don't worry, you'll import them back in later). Now, install the Alexa app on your phone and go through the set up process. At some point, you'll have the option to allow Alexa to automatically import any additions to your contacts. Please "disable" that option. After you're done with the installation, you'll notice there are no contacts in your Alexa app! Now, you can import your contacts back into your phonebook using the file that you initially created and you're good to go! If you already installed the app but want to delete your contacts from Alexa, it's not too late. Simply export your phone contacts to a file and save for later. Then, delete the contacts from your phone. Now, open the Alexa app and click "Contacts." On the Contacts page, click on "Import Contacts" and enable it by moving the button to the right side. This will cause Alexa to replace your existing contacts with the now empty phonebook. After a few minutes, your Alexa contacts will be gone. Go back and disable "Import Contacts" to prevent Alexa from importing them in the future. You can now import the contact file that you created back into your phone. Of course there may be some contacts you do want to use with Alexa. I simply added them manually by clicking "Add Contact." I hope this info is helpful as I wasn't able to find an easy way to manage Alexa contacts.

I LOVE THIS DEVICE ! This was my third Echo device (my second 3rd generation Echo) I received this Echo Dot (3rd Gen) as a free gift when I ordered my son's Fire TV and passed it on to him as well. My family enjoys them. We use it to play music, ask questions about the weather and local/national events, timers/alarms, making calls and sending messages, and controlling other devices, he has even added smart lighting and smart plugs to his room. Couldn't be happier!
