    The speakers in this new dot are truly worth listening to music through. The sound is more than just tolerable and you can team up a pair of them to get stereo sound if you want. I found it better to use the alexa app to crank up the treble to max and also substantially increase the mid-range. It's still a bit bassy, but unbeatable for the money.

    Big Brother is everywhere in my house, and I don't mind! LOL... These come in handy for making announcements, used as 'doorbells,' playing music, timers, reminders, asking questions (though half of the answers are convoluted) - but useful nonetheless. Pretty sure I got this free when I purchased a camera :)

    I bought the Echo Dot 3rd Gen in Charcol, loved the look and simplicity of it. Speakers can really jam out! I had alll my devices connected in a speaker group along with my Fire Stick and had my apartment call me and say people were complaining about how loud the music was — speaks for itself!

    This was my first echo dot & we love it! The ease of placing calls, checking the weather, listening to music or asking any random question is fabulous. One of my favorite things is to use the sleep sounds to help me go to sleep. If you don’t have Alexa you are missing out! I will definitely be adding more units to my home.

    Rating this as 5 stars because it met my expectations. Nobody should purchase the echo dot expecting it to be a powerhouse of sound. I'm using it in the master bedroom as an extension to my Echo Plus in the living area. It's great for low volume background music, maybe something to help you get to bed, and is very clear. No issues whatsoever.

    After my mom got a couple of these for free and I ended up setting them up for her, I surprisingly found it helpful so I bought one. It’s extremely reliable and quick to respond. Works great with TP Link wifi controlled switches. Supposedly it will work with Ring soon.

    Thought just pressing a few buttons on my remote was the best way to control my electronics but hate to admit it but I was "mostly" wrong. She is gradually winning me over but darn having another woman to answer to sometimes is a little strange but I got to say it's more good than bad. She seems to understand my commands better every day and she has stopped giving me a hard time about the way I pronounce some of my words. Good range and for such a small foot print she is big were it counts.Yep she's winning me over faster every day.

    The Echo Dot is fantastic. Love being able to hear any song at any time. Love being able to immediately get an answer to those troubling questions. Why go around blindly following rumors and false stories when you can ask a simple question and have facts on your side. It's that easy.

    I was surprised by the quality of sound this little speaker provides. Perfect for the bathroom for getting ready in the morning checking weather news and listening to music/the radio. Makes it easy to drop-in on the kids' Alexas to make sure they are getting ready without having to be decent enough to leave the bathroom.

    To be honest, haven't had a chance to use my echo very much as I'm living in some one else's house but hopeful will be moving into my own place as soon as this covid-19 allows me to travel. In the mean time I've been purchasing things like a smart strip, plugs and plugs. Can't wait to get it all set up..

    I got this as a gift for someone because it is compatible with most home automation products. However, the sound is only pretty decent but that is obliviously due to its size. I still think between this and the homepod mini the mini takes the cake.
