    Since I’ve begun spending much more time at home, having Amazon devices throughout the house makes staying in way more fun. Keeping Echo products on each floor of the house allows me to jam out no matter what I’m doing. Chores just became a lot more bearable.

    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.

    This Echo Dot is great. I have it connected to my amazon account to use Alexa for everything. I set alarms, reminders, timers for my workouts, absolutely everything I can think of. It’s in my bedroom and now I want one for the kitchen to set timers for cooking.

    I paired it to my Amazon tv on the back porch so I get great sound while watching the tv. This works really well, sorta like a mini sound bar. It also works great for streaming music when not watching the tv.

    I am enjoying my new Dot and learning all it's capabilities. I bought smart plugs so I can control some of my lamps by voice. I like being able to give it many verbal commands that I would previously have typed into my phone or laptop. Makes life easier, for sure! Happy with my purchase.

    This little gadget is amazing! I love to listen to the music I can get because this tiny powerhouse has great sound. I use it to set a timer and get the local weather. I have not gotten the plugs to have it turn on my lights yet, but that will come soon. I recommend this to anyone!

    Alexa can do almost anything for todays homeowner with the proper additional peripherals of course. The concept of a smart home voice assistant was available to only the rich and famous not that many years ago. Today everyone can control their environment and entertainment with voice commands.

    This is the 4th Amazon smart speaker that I have purchased. They are super easy to use, but occasionally can be a bit buggy. I actually think that has more to do with my internet to be honest. This one will most likely be used as a secondary speaker for a television.

    I cant believe I lived without it, A great addition to smart home. Can link to other brands of smart home devises. Was concerned the sound would be sub-par because newer models advertise upgraded sound, but for its size the sound is better than I expected.

    Been an Echo Dot user for a long time. Moved past the privacy concerns. Have upgraded all my units to Gen 3. Very noticable improvement in wifi reception, voice recognition and speaker fidelity. Gen 4 has been released. Gen 3's are a great bargain these days.

    Alexa does everything we have asked of her. She keeps constant reminders when I forget. Walking out the door (with alternative attachments) I can ask her to turn the lights off. Without hesitation, they’re off. She has amazing range and never disconnects from the WiFi.

    I have the 2nd gen dot, echo spot and the cube. They all connect excellent with external speakers. This 3rd gen dot has more bass which makes better as a standalone. The bonus free smartlights got my attention with the deal of the day. Bring back the promo again soon and I'll spread the word.
