    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.

    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.

    This was free with a TV purchase I made and was perfect for adding music to the patio. Sounds better than expected and all I really needed out there. Hooked right up to the WiFi...no issues at all.

    I love my echo dot. I ended up getting two more. One for me and a family member. I can set reminders, alarm, make a check list, check package arrival, place an order from Amazon, music, news, weather and more. Having more than one I’m able to sync them together.

    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.

    Excellent addition to a smart home! I ended up picking up two of these when they were on sale during Christmas and am not disappointed. Alexa is very useful for every day assisting, and the bonuses that came along were great!

    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.

    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.

    The sound quality is good, but Alexa doesn't always hear well. I find myself having to raise my voice to get a response.

    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.

    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!

    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 love the idea that I just tell Alexa what i want to hear,example. Alexa, play up beat christian music, and from that point on, I got up beat music. I don't have to search. she does that for me. I have owned this for 1 and a half months, and its a great investment for me.

    This Echo Dot was a free throw-in with a TV purchase. It seems a bit easier to use than our other Echo Dots (which are 1st generation). I'm sure we don't take advantage of all its capabilities, but we're happy with it anyway.
