    I just simply love it. I love all the features that it has to offer. It makes things simpler. I like that I can "drop in" and talk to my kids without having to call them on the phone.

    The 3rd gen echo Dot is great. This is a central part of our family room. The dot has been linked and setup to automate a lot of our household. Lights, TV, gaming, alarm and so on all can be activated and monitored with a few voice commands. Really great addition to the household!

    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.

    Echo dot is easy to set up. It is functional and communication with Alexa is easy. The Geek Squad was able to assist me in connecting Alexa to other things in my home. It was a gift with purchase.

    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.

    It came with the Ring doorbell I purchased from best buy. It is very helpful item for the ring doorbell users. It announces that there is some body at your front door or there is motion at the front door, even if the person does not ring the door bell. This item has many other uses besides door bell announcements.

    I’m not usually an Alexa kind of guy. I’m more of a google assistant guy. Don’t have anything against it just prefer it. It’s compatible with my Samsung smart things products so it’s getting put to good use with my TVs and lights and other electronic devices I have set up through out the house.

    Have multiple throughout the house to help with reminders control Alexa based devices such as lights, switches, and other things. Useful for scheduling and keeping track of things. They also have some amusing Alexa based skills

    Sound is way more louder than the 2nd and I love it. I have to connect the 2nd Gen with a portable speaker to make it sound better but for the 3rd I don’t really need that speaker no more. And also respond faster. Overall, great experience. And last word, Best buy never disappoint me so far. Thanks.

    Enjoying this In my living room almost every night to listen to all kinds of music. The sound is not bad for such a small speaker. No more getting up to play some music. I know it can do so much more but I have not ventured in that yet.

    I received the Amazon Echo Dot free with my tv purchase on Black Friday. This item has exceeded my expectations and I am mad I didn't purchase one sooner. I do not own many smart home devices but this Amazon Echo Dot makes me want to upgrade everything to be able to control them with my voice.

    This is a great little gadget, it is fun and functional. I know, it is first world problems when you are too lazy to reach for your iPad or laptop to ask Alexa a question. We probably don't use the Dot to its full potential or capacity, but for the small cost paid, I am fine. It is fun and functional...do it!

    I admit I don’t use this probably nearly as much as I could, but I still enjoy having it. If I’d strap down and focus on learning the commands, I could integrate so many other options, but alas I can’t find the time LOL. But it is still a great product and I enjoy it when I do dig around and mess.

    This was a freebie thrown in with a TV purchase, but it's always great to have an extra dot around the house. Have one in almost every room now and it's great as you move around the house.

    Never thought I needed an Echo, but got two as part of a promotion. It is so much fun to ask questions (don't have to search the Internet), play music, be notified when an Amazon package is delivered. I am sure there are probably other things I can do that I have not figured out yet, but it is fun.

    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.

    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
