    Fun device. Depending on what you subscribe to, you can play music, podcasts, ask about weather, set alarms, etc. Very handy.

    Cool Gadget with a few Privacy Concerns.

    This 3rd Gen Echo Dot is good in my opinion. It has a loud enough speaker that I can understand what Alexa is saying and when playing music it sounds as good as a radio tuned to Max Volume. The only thing is that constant listing for the "Wake" word which is worrisome in today's age of privacy invasion. But for the most part, it is a fun addition to your smart home if you choose to go down that path of Automation.

    My husband had a stroke about 6 months ago. He constantly asks the same questions over and over again, which is normal except that he gets embarrassed because he continually asks the same questions. With Alexa, he can ask what the current day and time is, what the weather for the day is, etc. Without feeling like he is bothering me. He loves it.

    I was thrilled to receive my smart speaker along with another purchase. This is great to take along outside to listen to music when sitting on the deck enjoying nature. Thank you Best Buy! Easy to use and lightweight.

    It is very convenient to have once you get used to it. You can ask it the weather, have it play music, or ask general questions. You can also set up smart home features. It does a pretty good job of understanding normal speech, so you don't have to memorize some set of command words, but it is not 100% accurate and may be frustrating sometimes.

    A Must Have

    Initially got the echo for Christmas and didn’t think it was a need, until we hooked it up to a hard to reach lamp. Since then we’ve bought the Echo Dot for our bedroom, as well as several Smart plugs and Smart bulbs for around the house. Having our lamps and even our Christmas tree activated by voice command is such a game changer. Life is so much easier now, especially with our hands full holding our baby. We can dim the light with our Smart bulb for night feedings and even change the light to all sorts of colors. We can play music from Pandora over the Echo, play all sorts of games and even ambient sounds for baby when she sleeps. No need for any other sound machine or gadgets. We don’t know how we ever lived without it. The hubs and I definitely recommend this product.

    This is my first echo dot speaker, we had google home mini which we love, the kids want to try the echo dot too, it did not disappoint and it is loud, the only advantage it has over the google home mini is that it has Bluetooth and aux out which is a plus. The kids are having lots of fun with it

    This product keeps getting better and better. Way better sound than the original. Also better quality, if it falls it feels stronger and sturdier. Now if only the music that you request was part of purchase, instead of having to pay extra. It will be amazing. Most songs I request are not part of the deal. It asked me to pay extra.

    I initially got a 1st gen dot as a gift. But as soon as we figured out the convenience it provides, we had to get another one for upstairs. No more forgetting shopping lists, just look at the app on my phone. Home late, Alexa turn on living room light. Alexa, what time do the Golden Knights play? Is it going to rain today? You get spoiled fast.
