    Fantastic all around resource for your house/room

    The third gen echo dot is a fantastic resource for your house and/or rooms. By calling "Alexa" you can have it play all kinds of music, have it answer your questions on various topics, give you the latest weather or Dow Jones closing info and more. It will make a shopping list for you and wake you up in the morning. I have two, one in my room and one in the kitchen/dining/living room area. Frankly, it is close to the "library computer" that the Star Trek series relied on all those years. I feel this is one of the best devices made in recent years. Wouldn't live without at least one! Echo dot may be set up from either a mobile phone or a desktop computer that has a WIFI connection.

    No real knocks other than some of the ‘skills’ available are not up to par. Some of my smart devices (toshiba and Samsung TVs are either not supported or rely on third party developers for integration. But great to help remember shopping lists, listen to music and remind of important dates, times, or events.

    It’s Alexa, what could go wrong?

    So far so good. We use it in the family room and we often fight over who gets to ask Alexa something. With the growing list of services (apps) there is something new to discover every week.

    This is way better than the previous versions. My only complaint is it doesn't always respond when you use the wake word "alexia".

    I mostly use this speaker for my dorm room to drown out the noise of my suite mates doing whatever and it’s a great speaker. One is loud enough and does the trick. The sound quality is great too.

    I’ve replaced all three of my old Echo Dots with the 3rd Generation w/clock. Not only is having the physical clock nice to have, but it also displays countdown timers as well. That’s a great feature we use in the kitchen where I need multiple timers for cooking. The kitchen is also great place to have Alexa on hand to add items to your grocery list. In dark or very low lit rooms these clocks go very dim and won’t hurt your eyes or disturb you when you’re watching movies or at rest. Another solid Amazon product! These little guys tend to go on sale frequently, so save up and get two.

    Great for music, questions you may be puzzled about, allows you to call dot to dot or phone calls to family and friends! Helpful with being a timer for cooking and a great alarm clock!

    Free gift with a tv we purchased, but I use it every single day. This is definitely one of those things that you need that you didn’t think you needed.
