    We added one of these to the front bedroom and one to the basement to make it easier to turn lights on/off & use as intercom between basement to main floor. Nice addition is now we can play music or whatever pretty much throughout the house, including the basement. Very easy to add to system.

    Love free items and was perfect to link tv and light in kids room so they just need to speak to turn off light and tv. Glad to have received this as I probably wouldn’t of bought one for them but they love it.

    I own a few older Echo dots. When it comes to sound quality they aren’t great and I have two of them connected to stereo receivers to play music via Alexa. This 3rd gen Dot is a definite step up in sound and I’m using it in a small room for music, etc. It’s not super high quality but it’s adequate for my needs.

    Companies update their products almost every year with minimal difference. Amazon gave the 3rd gen echo dot a huge upgrade. This generation is so much louder with clear bass. Sound does not distort when at full volume. The new dot also responds and processes requests quicker. Great Product

    I use her every day I get home from work and it is amazing. She knows all the special tricks and things. She can even impersonate your celebrity crush with a bit of convincing. Highly recommend she is better than telling your kids to turn on and off things for you.

    Alexa is always there to help. If you don't own one of these, or a variant, then I would highly recommend it. She'll help you with anything from the weather, to random questions, easily order stuff from amazon through her... You can even play jeopardy with her.

    Really Like the White Echo. Small and Compact, and good sound. It’s fun asking Alexa Questions, Playing Music and Talking to other Family Members either through Drop-in or simply Calling. Has many uses. You can even send message. Good for it’s price. Bought quite a few. For myself in each room, for Family and Friends. Everyone likes it too.

    I have 4 echo dots and one echo show set up in my house. The dots were all 2nd Gen until I got this upgrade. The 3rd Gen speaker is miles ahead of the 2nd Gen. We were thinking about buying some full-sized echos or another show for better sound but this 3rd Gen is a much more affordable upgrade.

    We love our amazon echo dot. We received it as a gift with another Best Buy order and it facilitates our cleaning groove. With a single voice command without having to stop our cleaning/working out to change the song or answer phone calls.

    Love the new ECHO Dot 3rd Gen. The sound is good for the size. I have this one in my daughters bathroom so she can voice control music while showering. Takes the fear out of her having her phone in there with wet hands away. Also you can link apple music to it.

    The Echo Dot has been a great addition to our home and easily recognizes my voice. I ask Alexa to play something from my playlist and she does easily. If you want a great sound, you will need a version with a better speaker or plug it into another speaker. I'm still learning a lot about it.

    Love to ask Alexa the time and to set timers. Reminds me of appointments. I can intercom to the second floor when dinner is ready. I also find my phone with this device by asking it where my phone is and it calls it right away. Good sound comes out.

    Paired it with a smart plug.... No more problems with turning my AC on from anywhere in the house. Liked it so much I bought a second one for my bedroom. Sound quality when I play my Amazon music is good, but I would recommend the larger model if high quality sound for music is what you want.

    The sound quality of this far surpassed what I expected. In the bedroom it controls the lights, plays soft music for sleeping or.... It will help me wake my wife up in the morning by allowing me to speak from the kitchen from one dot to another. Very happy customer. Bought two more for other areas in the house.
