    I bought one of these for my great-granddaughter and she loved it so much that I bought her another for her at my house and one for my bedroom and another for our second home. I love my Echo Dots!

    Al the good stuff in a small package. I have multiple echo dots in my house and love the convenience and features they offer. I am gradually adding more automation in my house and love the ease of use. I love the ease of integrating devices into the Alexa system.

    Echo products are very easy to setup. Once you setup the first one (5 minutes) each added device takes less than 2. Having setup nearly 50 echo devices I can confidently say it is the easiest setup process. As a Google user this makes me consider switching to Alexa.

    Fun gadget to have around

    We have three of these. We've actually gotten them all for free through different special offers. For example, two of them we received when we bought our insignia TVs through best buy. They're really easy to set up and fun to play with. We also have a Google version, but we think this one is more fun. It communicates more realistically.

    We have 2 of these and they are so fun! I use one to handle smart electronic items in our bedroom and the other to access XM radio and podcasts. The price is low enough to make it worth trying if you have been curious about smart speakers.

    An improvement from the original Dot

    Got this one to give as a gift. The sound quality is decent, and although not as good as the standard Echo (which is expected given the price point), it is an improvement over the previous generation Dots. And it performs all the Alexa skills. The recipient of this gift is quite happy with it.

    I have used both Google and Amazon products and it seems that the Amazon products are easier to set up. Alexa and Google still have some issues, but they seem to get smarter each year. The difference - at least to me - is that Amazon products seem to be "smarter" out of the box.

    Our First Alexa Device is a Hit !

    Never had any of the old versions but read the sound wasn’t as good as this 3rd generation. I can testify this one is loud and clear ! I can be in my bedroom and speak to Alexa in the kitchen 1-2 rooms away and she can still hear me. You can ask her to raise her volume or lower it without going to the dot itself so that’s a plus. We have set up our lights with it and it works perfect, very easy. Alexa responds to anyone’s voice so that could be a plus or minus if others start commanding her to do things. The great thing is both my husband and can add Alexa to the app on our separate phones ( one iPhone and one Android ) and we both have access to make changes so that’s a bonus.

    Love adding more Alexa devices to my home. Makes doing things a hundred times quicker and with ease. Its compatability with almost every plug, switch, light, and other devices is amazing.

    I really love my echo dot (3rd Gen). I now have two (2) of them and a echo show and appreciate that they make my life easier. I use them to control my smart devices (lights switches/dimmers, bulbs, sockets, TV & soundbar, music, thermostat, security cameras and security system). Importantly too, I use for sleep sounds when am having trouble falling asleep. Speaker sound quality is average though. Great product - I would recommend to anyone

    great for forgetful people, perfect for miscellaneous reminders that you can just shout across the room. sound quality is very decent as well. not super bass heavy or anything like that but it's still a pretty good deal

    It is great specially playing music I like just at a snap. I haven’t set it up all with it doing all the smart home things, but I am using it for my home security like opening garage door and unlock front door and set my alarm on..etc. It is really very nice what this small speaker can do.

    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.

    Excellent item! Very impressive and you can ask Alexa everything to make your life easy! I’m happy I purchased this product and I will recommend it to my family and friends. I bought 5 as my Christmas gifts to my relatives. It works well and I’m so impressed.

    I am enjoying having the echo dot in my home, it's the start of making my home smart, I was given a smart bulb with my purchase of the dot but haven't tried it yet. As for the dot I really like what I can do with it and i will be making my house smarter.

    Was hesitant to have a 'hot mike' in my home. However I enjoy my Echo Dot. Honestly I use for alarm, grocery list, music/podcast listening and weather. Should have purchased earlier.

    I got 2 of these free with the purchase of my Ring doorbells. I am amazed on how loud they are and with the house having a mixture of Apple products and google products and Prime you can’t go wrong. I am just worried about ALEXA always listening to everyone talk.
