    I’ve tried several different versions of this product and found that it’s not for me. They are all essentially the same but every year they come out with a new model that does something a little different. Overall, it’s a great product and I’d recommend it. But for me I don’t like having the accessibility of the operating system having access to my daily household functions. For the pro’s it’s very easy to use and does exactly what advertising says it will do.

    Good Product...But I Got a Lemon

    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.
