    Bought this unit to connect with a stereo system in my work area. Setup was a breeze. It worked the first time I used it and every time thereafter. It is connected to the receiver by a 3.5 mm cable to RCA plug. The unit was on sale at about 50%off - making it an even better purchase.

    Oh wow, what can I say about this new Echo Dot! I love it! I had the old generation Echo dots where the volume was so low you could barely hear it unless you were very close to it and these new Echo dots are close to the volume of the Echo Plus. It is really nice to have these when you have a whole house music system going and you can hear all the music playing all through the house.

    I have several other Echo Dots and Alexa products around my house and absolutely love them all. They sync up so easily to create a nice surround sound. Having older dots I can also say that this version of the Echo Dot is an upgrade in sound. It's so much clearer than on my earlier versions, I am thinking of replacing them with this version. I got a great deal on it at Best Buy also!

    I never really needed one. I wrote them off as kinda pointless, but having received one with my tv, I am happy to say I have used this little device to the fullest extent. I synced it to some smart bulbs so I can turn off lights when I'm too tired to get out of bed. I can set alarms with just my voice. Place phone calls, Google stuff, play music with fantastic audio quality, and I can get it to read me bed time stories.

    Superb value for money, better than home mini

    Amazon echo dot 3rd gen is an excellent smart mini speaker for your home. I did lots of research and analysis and picked this one instead of Google home mini. Google home mini has the advantage of much louder sound and volume but except that in every other areas echo dot 3rd gen excels. That does not mean it's sound quality is low. It has excellent bass treble and overall volume to suit your needs. If you have other fire TV, it integrates beautifully. You can use it as external speaker using in built aux audio port. Look and design is awesome. Where it clearly outperform home mini is the proper button checks. Where home mini has an area and relied on your haptic touch to perform an action it has 4 dedicated buttons which is much easier to use. It's blue ring led is very nice to look even at dark, it's amazing. Overall I am satisfied with the purchase. To sweeten the deal, I got it free during black Friday using my best buy elite plus reward certificate.
