    I Feel “Techy” Now

    Installing the Echo Dot was easy. In fact, it pretty much installed itself. I just had to get it set up on my WIFI, then Alexa took over. I got an Echo Plus for Christmas, and now I’ve added 6 Echo Dots. The Echo Dot does almost everything the Echo Plus does. We installed one at our vacation home and can control the lights from our home, using Alexa. If we are at our vacation home, we can turn lights on & off at our home, giving the impression someone is there. Love it!

    The sound on this echo dot is WAY better than the 2nd generation. It pumps up really loud and easier to hear too!

    I like the Alexa. It’s easy to use and speaks great. I just don’t like that I have to repeat my saying when I request some music artists. Alexa is fun to use when you pay for extra trivia, games and quizzes. Great item.

    The echo dot is a great way to communicate with Alexa. It's small and unassuming but allows you to get some great answers to common questions and control other aspects of your smart home. The 3rd gen looks a lot nicer than 2nd gen.

    Regular Echo Dot but with better sound

    This came free with a Ring doorbell I bought. Was reluctant to get the freebie cause my friends/family either have one or don’t want one and I already had 3 Echo devices but got it anyway. It’s an improvement over the 2nd generation Dot because the sound quality is much better. Otherwise it’s basically just like my other 2 2nd Gen Echo Dots. This Echo Dot is probably the best way to get an affordable smart speaker if you don’t want to go all in and get the main $100 dollar one.

    My girlfriend loves it.! She wants them for the kids. I like using it mainly for weather information and music. I also use it for an alarm. I was surprised that it plays music when waking me up.

    Purchased the 2nd generation ones when they were on sale during the holidays. Was disappointed with the sound quality of those compared to the 2nd gen Echoes I currently have. Was initially hesitant to get this 3rd gen, but after seeing positive reviews about it's improved sound quality, along with a reduced price, I took the bait. Needless to say I was satisfied with the decision! The sound quality has definitely improved from the previous generation! I recommend it!

    I like having these around the house. I can message or talk to the kids from work, set an alarm using Alexa, the kids can ask whatever to do their homework with, how to spell etc. Alerts us when a package arrives cause UPS never knocks or rings the doorbell. Very useful! Best Buy gave one of these free too with a purchsase!
