    We're enjoying being able to ask Alexa about the weather, turn on / off lights and even play games. Linking the dot to our account was easy, but pairing some 3rd party devices can be a challenge.

    This came with a purchase. Wasn’t sure if I’d like it but once I connected it, it’s actually cool to have around the house!

    I got this free with a purchase of a ring video camera. The sound on the 3rd generation is an upgrade from previous version. It’s a handy and convenient tool to have anywhere in your home

    I bought this as a gift for others, but I have two of my own Echo Dots, and I like them, especially for playing music. This item arrived in good condition and was shipped rather quickly.

    As with even the older version, same commands, same responses. The updated version is much nicer looking and has some additional features. When combined with a hub, you have awesome controls of multiple devices and dots.

    I absolutely loved having an alexa in my home that I went out and bought others for the rest of the house. They are great for communicating between rooms and playing music throughout the entire house.

    I have had both the second and third generation Echo Dots. The third generation is substantial improvement providing superior sound. Obviously not a high fidelity device, but considering size and cost it is remarkable.

    I love my Echo Dot. I can ask her most questions and she know the answer. I can ask her to turn to a radio station or call someone. Alexa is great. But I hope she’s not spying on me. I would be very disappointed.

    I got this as part of my Ring Pro doorbell I received and didn't think I wanted it so gave to my daughter. She absolutely loves it and so is now buying one for her dad for Christmas, so I guess I'm getting one after all.

    I use my echo daily since the day I purchased it. I mostly ask it to play my apple music playlists. And it works 80% of the time. Sometimes it does say there was an error connecting with apple music. But it actually seems to happen less often now. It knows a lot. Answers most of my questions. Overall a great device. I’ll be getting a second one for another room soon.

    Alexa Dot

    I have 2 of these Alexa dots and 1 echo show the connection/connectivity between my echo show and Samsung smart tv is stronger than the dot. This Alexa is very finicky with what it’s capable of doing moment to moment but overall it gets the job done with the lights, music playlists, alarms and anything else really.

    Gave this as a gift. Mostly used to turn off light, play music and give a news briefing. Sometimes I think it’s easier to turn the light off like I always have but other than that, it’s been good and convenient. My kids play games and seem to enjoy. This thing can do way more than we have yet to explore since Christmas. I will likely invest to have more in additional rooms.

    The Echo dot was part of a package included with my Fire TV. I probably would not have just bought it otherwise. It's pretty neat but I'm sure I won't use it like Amazon hopes I would. It's great for a quick temperature check and setting alarms but I doubt I will be turning on any lights etc.
