    Good 3rd gen echo dot. Sleek design, low profile, fits in most places.

    Was going to buy one for the ladies room. Then I saw around xmas time they had 2 of these for like $42. So I hot the one for the ladies room and replaced the older one in our living room. Glad I did because the newer one sounds so much better. Gave our echo dot 2nd gen to my pops and he loves it.

    Purchased this as a Christmas gift for my husband. He uses it in a room that is off of the garage. It’s nice to be able quickly contact him or ask a quick question with the Drop In feature. He likes listening to music, asking Alexa questions, and so much more. Great sound from these small devices.

    Great inexpensive control for IoT devices

    I have 4 of these Echo Dot's installed throughout my home and find that they are an excellent, inexpensive solution for supporting voice commands which are used to control a variety of brands' devices. The Dots are small enough to place virtually anywhere, and when purchased on sale, are well worth adding to any home which uses IoT devices (plugs, switches, cameras, blinds, A/V, thermostats, etc.). The Echo supports an excellent range of manufacturers and devices for voice integration. The speaker on the 3rd gen is much nicer too. I don't rely upon these for much audio (i.e. I don't play music through them), but it is still nice to have a quality audio speaker for feedback/responses.

    Great sound and easy setup. Works as well as Gen 2 but looks better (not like a hockey puck, lol) and sounds better. Get one.

    All in all, we love this buy!! Everything that Alexa works with and does is awesome! The best thing about it is the fact that she continues to learn and do things fitting to your lifestyle and daily habits. Such a fun and helpful buy with so many new things to learn and do every day!

    The Amazon Echo Dot is absolutely wonderful, it is one of the most convenient, and useful electronic internet accessing devices that I have ever used. I can't say enough about it I absolutely love it. It's a little buggy to connect to the internet but other than that it is amazing.

    This was a bonus with my Insignia SmartTV. Love this Echo Dot! Picks up your voice well between the walls! She's fun to play around with. I'm still learning what all I can do! Works beautifully!

    I have several of them in my house. Each room is linked up with the lights in the room. So nice to be able to control lights with my voice. I do have a difficult time trying to set things up though (in terms of voice commands). Apple Homekit it just so much easier for me than Alexa.

    Perfect for my teen daughter! She has her Alexa and we have ours. Small enough to not take up space and it controls her smart light bulb and her led tv lights. She loves it! Plus, it was on sale and we used $20 in BB certificates so it only cost $4.99. Great price!!

    I love the convenience of Alexa in our home, with setting alarms to automating the lights. I'm all for making things easier. Purchasing and picking these up from Best Buy was super seamless too.

    I love Alexa echo dot. The price was so right that I gave a few away as birthday gifts. So far, everyone reported that they are enjoying their Alexa. I love the speaker capacity for music as well as the skills features and growing capabilities of Alexa. Great purchase!!

    We are enjoying our echo, the sound is great, and my husband loves the fact that he can play his jazz music and I'm glad cause I can request my smooth R&B without commercials. We add a smart plug and now we don't have to argue over who will turn the lights out when we both are comfortable while watching a movie. :)

    The sound quality is MUCH better than I expected from such a small device. The Alexa voice recognition/interaction works pretty well, too. We had the Google Home device before, and it was so bad we just returned it. Only reason we got this one was because it came included with a larger purchase. Definitely recommend.
