    Still have it, but just finally started using this for Alexa along with smart home automation, which surprisingly is a great thing for those of us who are starting to become ancient. Amazing value, really.

    Love this! I have several Amazon Echos at home - but when I seen the sale price on this, I bought it for the $20 gift exchange we were having at our family Christmas! The Echo Dot works as well as the pricier Amazon Echos!

    What can I say about Amazon Echo Dot third generation smart speaker with Alexa.? The answer is you can’t go wrong it’s more convenient you can use it as an alarm you can ask him the weather you can ask her what time it is etc.

    Buggy, Muffled voice and not enough mics

    I had high hopes for the 3rd Gen Echo dot. I put mine in my Master bedroom, behind a table lamp (That is what I did with my previous echo dot (2nd Gen) and the Google home mini). I assumed this will work fine. But most times, the echo dot will not even respond. Either the mics on these are very low sensitivity or not enough. Now I have to keep the echo dot in line of sight to have any reasonable response. Even then I see 1 out of 5 wake words being ignored. Also, when there is a song or audio already playing on the echo, the wake word response is very low probability unless you are really loud. The sound was extremely muffled with high bass and much lower treble settings. This meant every time Alexa managed to respond to me, I had trouble making out the speech and tell her "I did not understand that" :). But those audio changes make the echo an awesome music playback device. There seems to be some form of software auto volume leveling going on, that is very unreliable. There were random change in the volume which was annoying at times. My biggest problem with the 3rd gen Echo dot was its lack of consistency with recognizing what I said. Most command recognition was almost a roll of dice. But the major reason I returned the echo dot, was the power supply design. This was bad design. Amazon decided to make their power adapter a non standard connector. This meant I cant use the tons of USB output power regulators, I have lying around in my house. Also in the age of USB type C, Amazon went a step back on their design. The reason maybe for them to avoid the use of non standard power supplies. But then that is a design flaw that they cant limit current drawn. The software app interface and set up was also a cumbersome process. This has been my qualm about amazon in general compared to their competition who seems to be picking up very fast.

    I love this for setting an alarm in the morning and for finding out the weather conditions before I leave in the morning. Speaker is very good quality.

    Check the weather, sports score or anything you want. Pair them together with another dot for stereo sound. Best part is the price. Can’t be beat.
