    Bought for a friend for Christmas. Stopped working after a few months. Amazon would not replace it for me because it was not linked to my account it was linked to the person I bought it for.

    You get what you pay for

    I actually only wanted to give this 3 1/2 ⭐️ but it wouldn’t let me. It is a pretty neat little thing but sometimes it doesn’t work. You have to repeat yourself before she responds(sometimes )unless you stand right over it and sometimes she answers with random facts instead of what you asked. I thought she was supposed to link to Spotify but she doesn’t or I just haven’t figured out how to do it right, so anytime I ask her to play music she goes directly to Amazon music. I have also asked her for appointment reminders and she didn’t remind me. I tried to set up a nightly reminder(to play at a certain time) and that only works sometimes. Didn’t pay a lot for it, I guess you get what you pay for.

    I highly recommended this product if you are upgrading from Echo Dot 2nd Generation! Great Sound! Easy to use! the only thing I'' suggest for next generations is Audio In Jack so it can be used as speaker

    I think I got this free when I bought the Ring camera. I dont use this thing. I think it just records my conversations and sends them to the Oval office. Im 48 years old, no use.

    Plugged this thing in right out of the box and it’s stuck in an infinite reboot/crash loop. Factory reset doesn’t help. I’m extremely disappointed.

    Bargain Echo Dot is a little phenom

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

    Nice, compact unit that lets you live the Alexa world. Sound quality isn’t the greatest but it cost me less than $20! However you can plug it in to higher quality speakers via Aux port or Bluetooth. You can also get external battery packs for these to make it a wireless portable standalone smart speaker. I also understand that you can tune or shape the sound via an Alexa Equalizer app which does provide some sound improvement. I have not tried this yet.

    The Amazon - Echo Dot (3rd Gen) was easy and fast to set up. The quality of sound is surprisingly good considering its small size. I wish it had zigbee like its larger and more expensive version.

    Works best if you have other Alexa enabled devices

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

    Echo dot works well on its own, ie letting you know about the weather/traffic/news/music but best if you have other devices you can control with it. If it only did that, I'm not sure if I'd like it as much since you can take 5 more seconds and do that on your phone too. Although I do really like how easy and responsive it is when it plays music, volume is excellent. But cooler than that you can install lights that will respond to Alexa, and if you have a fire stick/fire tv it can control almost anything there as well, making walking into your house and telling Alexa to turn on the lights, tv and whatever you want to watch all while holding your groceries easy!
