    A little better than the 2nd Gen dot, looks better. Have one in each room to work with my Alex Eco System. You can ask it questions, control FireTv Stick with it and alerts you when your Ring doorbell button is pushed, with the Ring doorbell skill enabled.

    The echo dot enabled me to eliminate my bedside radio, streaming kindle and a bluetooth speaker. This "smart speaker" does the job of all of these devices with much better sound quality than I had before. Love it.

    Got it free with the ring floodlight on Black Friday. Basically only use for playing music and generating shopping lists but still handy. My nephews (ages 6 & 8) figured out the Alexa will do their homework if the ask her. Lol. “Alexa what’s 2 times 4”.

    Easy to use and setup. Received this for free in a promo when I bought the Ring Peephole Doorbell which makes me love it even more. I love how everything can be connected to each other and slowly making my home a smart home.

    I loveeeee this, I also have an apple HomePod but Alexa gets most of my attention. She’s definitely a lot easier to use. I have 2 and both work perfectly.

    I was hestiant to get a smart device but now I am glad I invested in the Alexa ecosystem. I can give a simple command and it can turn on my TV while I'm cooking and change the content. Even assist in lazy things like shutting off the lights. Also provides a sense of security with the guard feature. I just wish it'll be a little better responsive at times; you have to repeat yourself a couple times.

    Love this device wish I would have purchased a couple more when they were on sale Christmas Eve. Device was easy to set up. Just plug in and download the app to your phone. Alexa has lots of functionality. Would definitely recommend.

    I have one room in the house that doesn't have an Echo device. I've got a couple of 1st Gen Dots set up and this 3rd Gen just happened to come free of charge as part of another Best Buy purchase. Like the other Echo devices, setup was quick and easy.

    The Echo Dot (3rd Gen) is easy to set-up. The sound quality is great. The only thing I find the slightest bit of a design shortfall is that I have it on my bed stand and I cannot differentiate between the buttons on top, especially in the dark. It would be nice in future generations if the buttons were lighted. Best Buy had a better price than Amazon on this product.

    My husband cannot hear very well, so I bought 2 echos and placed one by his chair and the other in the bedroom. I am able to use the drop in feature as an intercom. No more yelling across the house! I'm sure my neighbors appreciate it more than we do.
