    Got this one to put in my home office. I have 2 other dots (with clocks), an Echo Show, and 2 Echo Flexes (with nightlights). Simple set up. Along with 7 smart bulbs and 1 smart plug. I think I just about have my house covered. They sure make life easy!

    I have a few 2nd gen Dots which don't sound good enough to listen to music. I use them just to get voice control functionality in some extra rooms. This 3rd gen Dot sounds much better, so I'll be moving it to a room where I might sit and listen to music.

    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.

    To complement an Echo Show in the household, this Echo Dot is perfect for the den for all Alexa functions. Although it doesn''t have the sound fidelity of the Show, more than adequate to get information from Alexa and serve as an intercom to the Show.

    Sound and build quality are great and integrates well with my Nest thermostats. Gave it 4 stars because there isn’t an easy way to ask Alexa to play from your music collection. All of my music is on google music and Amazon no longer allows you to upload your own music to its cloud. It also cannot access Google music. Unless you pair your phone with it, I couldn’t find a simple way to ask Alexa to play a particular song in your collection.

    Alexa has spoiled me from turning on the lights, telling me the time and reminding me of things to do and the best part is I got it free with my TV purchase. I love it!

    My biggest regret was not buying more during the black Friday sale. Loud sound compared to echo shows and respond so much better than the Google's did

    Gave as gift for aging parents for Christmas. Love that they can use Alexa to help perform daily tasks and call grand kids when they want to chat or facetime with Echo Show. Mother-in-law used to call when she fell and fractured her neck earlier in December, what a life saver!

    The Amazon Dot Echo we purchased has been AMAZING!!! We are totally happy with the purchase and only wished we had done it sooner. Alexa is light years ahead of Siri in intelligence and ease of operation and the number of things "she" can help with is fantastic. Great purchase

    I use the Echo Dot (3rd Gen) as the Hub of my home automation system, and as a music player paired with my Amazon music account. Completely satisfied with the upgrade from the 2nd Gen Unit; it sounds much better, boots up quicker and is just as good at recognizing my voice.

    This is my 1st Alexa device & it's great! I'm still finding ways to use it & devices to use it with. My favorite part is waking up to my lights being turned on with my favorite song playing. I love my Echo Dot!

    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.

    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.

    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.
