    I like the design. Pretty much like the Google mini. It sounds better than the Dot 2, but some distortion with lots of bass, which is to be expected. It has a good build quality feel to it. It is the main voice hub in my smart home. The price is great!! It is a useful device.

    My family loves our echo dot and alexa. My 1 1/2 year old runs around the house saying alexa play a song. Extremely easy to set up and it has awesome features. A very fun product and great we recieved this free with another purchase.

    I have several Gen 2 echo dots and there is a very noticeable improvement in sound quality with the Gen 3. Other than that it’s very much the same. If you’re in the market for a new one, this is great, but not enough of a difference to justify replacing your existing devices.

    This Echo came with a TV purchase. I am very pleased with it because I can get instant answers to common inquiries without logging into my computer. The vocabulary is extensive and the voice recognition feature is better than I expected.

    Got this for free with the Ring Pro purchase. It's a good deal since I've been wanting to transition off 2.4GHz band. Seems heavier and sound better in comparison to the 1st generation Echo Dot. Mic seems to pick up my voice from across the room better as well.

    We have one of these things in nearly every room of my house. When used with Alexa's evolving smart home feature set, this allows me to control nearly all aspects of my smart home automation, and also provide a nice low-cost alternative to multi-room audio playback solutions.

    The sound is incredible for teh size of the speaker. As for the "smartness" of Alexa, I have to say there is a long road to call that technology smart.

    I absolutely love my echo dot! I have three already. It’s a life saver. You can ask it anything and even notifies you when you receive an Amazon package (we receive so many!).

    We purchased this to put at my wifes daycare and the little ones really enjoy telling Alexa what song to play. They don't need to be able to touch it or know how it works, they can just talk to it!!!

    I bought the dot to work with the tv I got. I was overly surprised to find out it worked with our Ring system. I am going to get some smart bulbs for the lights very soon Alexa makes life so easy!!

    The Amazon Dot is a great device. However, I wanted to use it with my Nest thermostat for in room temperature adjustments. So I had to return this and Best Buy was great about it. I switched to the Google device.

    It’s the way of the future! Alexa can be setup for numerous tasks. She can turn on/off our TV. She can stream music from Pandora and other music apps. She can turn on/off our lights (purchased a sep smart plug), we even got her programmed to do spelling quizzes for our kids.

    Not very tech savvy with these type of things, but I like that it sets a great alarm, covers the weather, and even recommends some good music and shows. If you've ever wanted one, it's worth getting and it makes a great addition to my ever growing tech lifestyle.

    I was enjoying the free with purchase of TV, echo dot, one downfall is that I use a hotspot and take it with me and that disconnects the dot. When the hotspot is back at the house it doesn't automatically reconnect :( so it tends to be easier to use my laptop rather than reconnect the internet to the dot.

    They make these little devices cheap because it will reel you in. I started with this and thoroughly enjoyed my Alexa experience. I use this in conjunction with Philips hue bulbs, smart plugs and other echo devices. I have no complaints. Good quality, response time and sound.
