    Nice sound quality especially if you are listening to music. Easy to maintain and works well with the plugin.

    There is a lot that Alexa can do, I bought smart plugs and connected them through the house on all my regular devices as the plugs are really cheap lol, and connected them to Alexa and now I am as lazy as comfortable enjoying a smart home, Alexa turn off the coffee maker

    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.

    Did not realize I needed one until I got one. I connect smart plugs all around my house and use her to turn them on and off. Also use it to play prime music. LOVE IT.

    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.

    We now have several of these throughout the house. Works great for controlling different items such as lights and plugs, however we like it most for the music. It is nice having the same music playing throughout the house.

    Very responsive to voice commands

    Gifted this to a older friend who has a strong accent. I was quite surprised that Alexa was able to comprehend his voice instructions so easily. The Echo is almost a "companion" for seniors, especially those living alone. They add in to their routine. He texts and emails to family and uses this to assist with spelling.

    Lots of fun beyond the music. Games, alarms, reminders, Echo Dot does it all. Weekly emails keep you posted about different things to try with it. And the music is absolutely tops! Just ask it to play whatever you like and you’re instantly rewarded with good sound.

    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.

    This is the 2nd Alexa I've gotten. These things have so much uses. I can even use it to ask whoever's in the kitchen, if we need anything else while I'm at the grocery store. We use it to stream amazon music, as a bluetooth speaker, a phone, audiobook, and to hear the news.

    These things are great. Surprisingly good sound quality. So much more convenient than using a portable bluetooth speaker that requires device syncing and battery charging to listen to music. This thing is always plugged in and all you have to do is ask Alexa to play a song.

    I love being able to ask questions about anything or add items to lists without having to press any buttons. The speaker works really well and love playing musing through this while I’m cooking or just hanging out in the living room with just telling it what kind of music I want to hear.
