Easier to install that the prior versions. Applications run faster as well.

This speaker works great for my son’s room and he also has a fire tv

My Echo Dot 3 output jack (3.5mm) failed 6 months after I bought it. I was outside Amazon's 90 day warranty period but still figured that, given that the product was only 6 months old and pretty obviously defective (not to mention the fact that I have years of doing business with Amazon without having returned anything), Amazon might step up and replace it. No such luck. So, buyer beware. That said, I still like the Echo products (and would give this one a 5 star rating except for the failure and more to the point, Amazon's failure to stand behind their product) and even the one that "failed" still works as a stand-alone Echo...I just can't plug it into a bigger sound system which is what I bought it for. Electronic products tend to fail relatively soon if they're going to fail at all so I assume that mine was simply a rare anomaly. I currently have two different Echo products and both work quite well. The speakers are surprisingly good (both sound quality and volume) considering how small they are. The bigger Echo naturally sounds better than the Dot 3 but the Dot 3 isn't bad for the size and price (assuming you bought on sale at Best Buy or Amazon...$22-25 range). The microphones on the larger Echo are noticeably better than those on the Dot 3 but I can still frequently get the Dot 3 to respond from 1-2 rooms away. All in all, I saw no particular use for these things and didn't want to like them (think privacy issues). I ended up with one almost by accident and am now waiting for delivery of my third one...so, they got me. It's hard to explain because nothing do sounds all that great and yet, once you have them, they're just so darned convenient. I use them almost constantly to listen to the radio, podcasts, Amazon Music and Audible books as well as asking simple questions (weather, whether it's going to rain, time, word definitions, basic Google searches). I'm hooked...save yourself.

The sound quality on the Echo Dot was a lot better than I anticipated.

Bought echo dot for a Christmas gift hand one already makes easy use in mornings

I love my Dot works great for what I need and sounds great.

So much better than the original! Speaker is perfect for streaming Apple Music!

Great sound and easy to connect to a WiFi. Better than 1&2 generations.

Works great..love it. Great price, love the color. I bought 2

This Echo Dot has made my life so much simpler just by talking to it.

Good speaker for music for a small area, good to ask Alexa questions

This is addicting! I love having it do so many things for me, priced right too!

I can't complain too much because I got it for free with a purchase of Blink security cameras. I would like the echo dot to be able to play the sound of youtube videos. Why? because youtube is free. I'm not going to join amazon music when the web is has loads of places to play free music. I had a hard time getting it setup with my wifi because it only receives 2400ghz and my network is both 5ghz. So I had to create separate SSID's to get it to connect. Right now I use it for iheart radio which is ok and occasionally an alarm. I wouldn't buy one but I'm well aware of Corporations putting out stuff that require more money to do anything.

I love my Alexa with clock, got it as a gift from my daughter.

Having the clock visable is awesome. Works great, looks good.

Cloth covering helps Echo blend in with living room. Microphone sometimes has trouble picking up voice from TV and other noise. Must better speaker than prior generations.

I would purchase this item again works very good I use Alexa throughout my home

I love the echo dot. Great sound, very helpful with reminders for meds, checking the weather and use the ocean sounds to fall asleep every night. May be getting more for gifts!!

Excellent to play your favorite music and set reminders.

Got it for a friend and they absolutely love it. Better then version bellow it.
