    I actually received this free with the purchase of the Ring Alarm system and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked with my Ring Alarm and also my Echo Show. I was able to send music from my Echo Show to other rooms in my house. I was also able to control my Hue lighting as well. The speaker is actually much better than the previous version of the dot. Overall, very happy. Definitely worth the money if I had paid for it. But for free it was even better!

    Clunky Use, but a Good Device

    The Echo Dot (3rd Generation) is a wonderful installment in the Echo line, and still holds up fairly well in 2022. I would rather buy this than the 4th Generation, as the 4th only has improved speakers. The Alexa feature is incredibly helpful to set the thermostat, turn on lights, check the weather and much more. However, as the device grows older. the bugs persist. Alexa grows dumber by the day. The WiFi connection cuts out on the Echo and it’s a pain to reconnect. So, I would buy this instead of the 4th gen, as they are mostly the same.

    I got this third generation Echo Dot as a free gift when I purchased a Ring Doorbell 2 at Best Buy. I really love using this Echo Dot. I use it to turn my lamps on and off in the living room and bedroom. Set a timer and use it for information about news, sports and weather and playing music on Amazon Prime and SiriusXM. Alexa is my new best friend!

    improvement over the previous generation

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

    I have several echos. I do believe that have at least 1 of each model they has been made. This DOT is a huge improvement over the Gen 1 and Gen 2. The sound is much better, and the voice recognition is better on this model as well. Not that you would want to listen to music from this device all of the time, it does not compare to the larger models, but it is a vast improvement over the past models. I would recommend.
