    I have 8 Dot Gen 3's and 1 Dot Gen 2 and I can't help but use them every day. They work and integrate with everything. I think these sound better than the google home and will be of more use in the future than Google.

    Got this with my fire tv. It was a good combo. But Alexas is not very good at understanding things I ask. but other than that is an okay accessory that I got for free with the tv.

    What more can anyone say about Amazon Alexa. Shes great! But I like this product because of it size and is perfect for anyone that just wants to try it out before buying a higher end product.

    Have one in just about every room in the house. Kids love them and so do we. Many uses and functions. Price is great as well. These seem to do better than our echo show for whatever reason.

    I was so excited to get one of these for Christmas. I listen to it just about every day. I even figured out how to connect it to my phone and listen to great music in the car as I travel.

    Have hooked a Fire TV, smart lights up to device. Grandson loves it that he can control his whole room by just saying a few words. Can also set timers, alarms, notifications. Endless possibilities.

    I’ve really liked using the echo dot. I’ve compared with google home and the voice recognition seems superior with this device. The skills are more platform agnostic as well, which is nice when we have services from a variety of providers. Not 5 stars only because it does still struggle with commands sometimes. That’s to be expected with these devices.

    Have been avoiding buying one but we took the plunge and it works great. Has a lot of nice features, very easy to hook up and the questions and programs are endless or so it seems. Glad we did it now looking at the Fire Sticks.

    Gave in and finally joined Alexa Nation. Still learning all the things Alexa can do. Paired two speakers, kind of like stereo. Very good sound for such a small unit. Amazon will take over the world soon!

    Gave as a gift for a teenager. He loves it. Uses it daily to play music and get the weather.. Also uses it to turn off the lights with a smart bulb. Received the bulb free with purchase.

    I have several echo devices, including some first gen dots. This one works very well, can hear you clearly and sounds better than first gen. Price was great also, $18 during their 1 Day sale.

    I had couple of the gen 2 dots and decided to get a 3rd gen when it went on sale. The 3rd gen sounds 200% better. I love the whole house music experience. I have since outfitted every room with an echo dot .

    I have a bunch of echo devices. While the dot has always suffered in sound quality compared to its larger siblings, I feel like this one makes a large jump over the past echo dot in sound quality.

    We are enjoying the Echo Dot especially while I'm working around the house, and I get to listen to my favorite music. My grandkids love asking Alexa questions too.

    This is the fourth Echo we've purchased, and someday we'll probably have one in every room. We use them to control our light, play music, tell us the weather and answer questions both important and trivial. What's not to love?
