    For Christmas gifts I originally purchased 2 Echo Dots. After trying it in our family room, I bought 6 more as gifts! There is an endless number of fun things you can due with the "Alexa" command! I enjoy tapping into the Amazon music library. The grandchildren do lots of games. After Christmas I also added on the Echo button for family games of up to 4 players. The sound of music is great- fills the room. FUN!

    I got this for free when I purchased a tv. It really surprised me at how far Amazon has come with its AI technology, I’m an apple user. Alexa is very intuitive and I appreciate how user friendly and creative this speaker functions. I have it right at my front door so I can see when I have notifications. It’s very nice.

    I have heard a lot about Alexa and we are still getting to know each other. I am amazed at the things she knows and she is definitely great at reminding me of things. I love that she can call my friends and family for me and also help me with questions that I don't have to google. It is great for everyone, but being of the older generation I can honest say she is the greatest!

    I have an Echo and wanted to be able to access Alexa from other parts of our home. I added three Dot's so I have one on each of three floors and in my work shop. They work great! I've added smart lights in our family room and outside to light up our driveway at night. Sometimes my commands aren't interpreted correctly, but I'm learning to speak more clearly with some words, and that has made a difference.

    I bought this one for my husband for Christmas 2021. We already have one installed in our front room and I love the speaker quality of this version vs the last one. I would definitely recommend this third generation echo dot. Very affordable price as well. We get many, many, hours of enjoyment from it daily

    The Echo Dot 3 is an attractive, compact device. It's a decent speaker with good, clear sound. Where it falls short is where you need it most. 1) Alexa's voice is WAY TOO LOUD! More often than not I find myself just unplugging at night to avoid the temptation to speak the wake word and have her blurt out at high volume like some drunk girl at a party that's already wound down. As it is dependent on wifi, any command while not connected will prompt a super loud reply, like say volume down while using the bluetooth function to stream shows or music. Same for when it connects to a device. She just yells out the device serial number. I've tried to find ways to quiet her voice level vs music and I just don't see the option anywhere. 2) For it to be a smart speaker that is compatible with smart devices it sure doesn't seem all that smart. It still needs to be manually connected to other devices that A) that are in the same network, B) have Alexa C) Have Alexa under the same account... D) Are streaming Amazon content. Feels like 2008 all over again. The Alexa app is ok but nowhere near as intuitive as it should be. 3) Echo Dot 3 is NOT a portable, speaker as it has no battery. Maybe they're saving that feature for the 4. I've never had a desktop speaker that I couldn't take with me. There are however 3rd party devices available to remedy this. Overall, like I said, decent sound device. As long as you have stable wifi and the patience to constantly adjust the volume and to the situation you should be fine with it.

    Nifty little device, incredibly easy to set up and does a lot of heavy lifting around the house for entertainment. We also use it as an intercom which has saved me an uncountable number of stairs.

    good Echo unit. Didn't realize it had a power brick plug (small and unobtrusive) so couldn't use my built in USB plug that we used with the 2nd Gen Dot. Fabric cover is nice, blends in with decor. You won't use this as your main music playing device, but it had good sound, My granddaughter loves listening to the rain sounds app to go to sleep.

    Received this as a gift with a television purchase and love it. It was a big hit during the holidays when I used it as a speaker for music playlists. It also connects to endless info and is a nice research assistant that you don’t have to pay.
