    Bought this as our 1st generation Echo won't control Sengled smart bulb we have. This Dot came with a Sengled bulb too. Sounds good and bulbs work well once the schedule was perfected in the Alexa App.

    Good sound quality and size. For Alexa, I’d recommend for smaller rooms. For real sound get the bigger ones.

    Fairly easy to set up. Works like a charm on my smart plugs, wifi light bulbs, and TV. Not a great speaker for just playing music, but given size and price, that should be expected. The only real negative to me, was if you want to change wifi connections, it is not intuitive at all. Kind of a pain. I also have a Google Home speaker and it difficult to change wifi connections as well. You'd figure that process would be intuitive and easy, but not at all.

    This is such a practical little device. I have Siri on my iPhone but I don’t always have it on me especially in the kitchen which is where we placed this. I use it for the timer, unit conversions, music, phone calls, etc. It also listens better that Siri on my phone.

    Simple to set up and easy to add on features like lighting for your home. Wasn’t sure about buying this but my son wanted one for his birthday. We now have three in our home. Signed up for amazon music instead of the free trial subscription Best Buy included.

    This is a nice upgrade to the Echo Dot. It works very well with my smart lightbulbs across multiple rooms. I got this one free with my purchase of a 65" Insignia Fire TV but will purchase another Dot for bedroom.

    We had a google home mini and then we got an Echo Dot free with a Best Buy purchase. We like “Alexa” better. Everyone in our family (5 year old included) is easily able to use this device. If you’re trying to decide on one of the “home” devices, I would say buy this one.

    When I bought the Phillips Hue smart kit, this was an add on for free (same deal on amazon) but I got them faster. The echo dot was a great addition to the bedroom to give whole house functionality to the lights. And better use to Alexa. Happy I grabbed this deal when available.

    This little smart speaker is amazing! You can ask it practically anything, and now the music will integrate with Apple music. So if you have a subscription, it will play anything in the Apple library. I also have a 1st gen Echo Dot and this 3rd gen has much better speakers.

    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!!!

    We got this as part of a promotional package with the ring video doorbell and we love it! Extremely easy to set up and run everything off of the Alexa app. Ask Alexa anything....she even tells knock knock jokes! They're not the best but good enough for the kids!

    I bought 2 Echo Dots which I have in different rooms in my house. My parents use them to play music and control some TP-Link smart plugs with Christmas lights plugged into them. I have had no issues and I think the 3rd generation Echo Dot sounds quite good for a $30 wifi speaker.
