    I would love to give this 5 stars, but seeing as though it was stolen off of my porch, since it wasn’t signed for and also around Christmas time, I never got to test it out.

    Had the Echo Dot 3rd Gen for about 5 months and now sounds like the speaker is blown. Sound quality is bad. Spoke with Amazon Rep. Factory warranty on this device is only 90 days. Garbage.

    Speaker quality was good for size. To be honest, I did not want this, got it for free with other purchase. Had high hopes that I would adopt this as momma always said the dealer gives you the first crack for free. Speech recognition was not good enough to keep trying. It is on its way to landfill.

    Bought for my kid because she wanted a blue toy speaker and a clock. This was perfect. Bought products because it is supposed to work with Apple Music. It does not.

    I like the decor, cloth, as for sound and responsiveness, to me it's not a improvement over 2nd version, previous version had crisp sound and was more responsive to voice commands.

    We enjoy the Alexa dot, but it durability is questionable we had to return and exchange due to equipment fault. We will see how long it will last this is a mixed bag.

    Sound leaves a lot to be desired and you get inundated with Alexa emails telling you stuff you don't care to know. Consider opting for the Google product.
