    Great Smart Speaker

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Amazon Echo is a solid speaker. It has an improved design, and a much better sound quality compared to the 2nd generation Echo. It is a must-have tool in the kitchen. I can ask it to play music, set alarms or timers and scheduling reminders. Alexa won't always know the answer to all of your questions, but overall, I have been extremely happy and strongly recommend it.

    Small, compact design. Sounds quality is OK.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Echo Dot 3rd Gen mimics the design of it's big brother from the fabric covered sides to the color changing top light. It's convenient to use and easy to setup, just like the regular Echo. In fact, it does everything my regular echo does, but for less. That is, unless you want to use it to listen to music. The sound quality leaves a lot to be desired (though it's partly to be expected from such a small device). Music is tinny and doesn't have any depth. The regular Echo performs much better if you're looking forward to using it to listen to music. Or simply connect it to an external speaker.

    This product is awesome. You can ask it anything, have it add items to your grocery list. Plays any song you ask it to play. Can also, control smart tvs with Alexa. Very convenient, and the speakers sound pretty good for the size. Would recommend.

    Didn’t want to connect to wifi. Customer service wasn’t able to solve this just temporary connect and disconnect. experience issues upon connecting. If you have 5G wifi you need to set a certain frequency so Alexa connects. Couldn’t figure it out on my router

    Echo Dot 3rd. Gen. Is Incredible amazing !

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    It has a richer sound quality it’s pretty load I wouldn’t estimate the size of this thing being small that packs a punch with full of surprises ! I just bought mines just last Friday , Ive been having so much fun all day with this , if you love music then this is for you .. if , you’re a amazon shopper and your already a member to amazon . This has it’s amazing deal unlimited free movies on amazon music for just $3.99 a month.. and you don’t have too , it still has a good Advantage play free music anyways but , it will have very short commercials . The neat thing I like about this Echo Dot 3rd. Gen. Is the aux - audio output does work well , I have it plugged in to my Sony surround sound theater system . Works amazing! But .. it dose not come with a aux. cable , you will need to buy one or if you already own one then you’re good to go ! And you can buy - other smart light bulbs and more speakers to you living , the Alexa app. Is very easy to understand and use Only compatible with smart appliances . Plugs , bulbs etc. this worth the bucks!

    I bought this product a year ago for less than $20 and It's still working, I didn't realize this product was that great, I can use it as speaker. Also I can manage my whole house with this smart home. That's just amazing!! Clear motion camera, and motion detection.

    I think this item will work as advertised once I am successful at hooking it up. But it refuses to accept the network and password on my modem and, due to the Covid-19 lockdown, it is nearly impossible to get technical support. I'll keep trying.
