    The 3rd Generation is an improvement over its predecessor primarily due to its better speaker quality.

    It works great and looks really sleek. I bought two when they recently had a $10 off sale. We use it to turn the lights on and off. My kids think it's fun to ask Alexa questions, tell jokes and sing Happy Birthday. They use it more than me.

    This is very handy for a nightstand or bedside table. The sleep sounds mask outside noise...very handy.

    I guess we like these things. There are now 5 in our house and two Echo Shows. They make it easier to let everyone know when food is ready and for us the nag our children from any room in the house without yelling.

    Not my favorite but a great gift for kids who normally don’t have high expectations from tech devices at a young age. This was bought in that regard as I’d never buy one for myself. Buy a HomePod, there’s a reason they are more expensive, the work and sound amazing.

    My kids love Alexa because they get to play with her. My 6 year old loves to ask Alexa to play music for him. He is requesting his own Alexa for his room and so is my 19 year old daughter. It's really nice to have an Alexa at home. Now I understand my brothers.

    It’s an OK speaker. I’ve already got multiple Google Home speakers in my home but there are certain features that Echo has I wish Google had.

    I upgraded to the 2nd Generation. It’s a tad bit larger and the speaker sounds better than the 1st Generation.

    I bought this for my friend for Christmas because every time she comes over she plays with mine. Always asking questions and likes the jokes. She loves that it plays what I like.
