    I love using my alexa to control my lights from the comfort of my bed. It's also useful for alarms and timers when you don't have your phone in your hand.

    Two (2) of these actually came with the hundreds of dollars in security equipment that I purchased it was part of the special that was going on at my Best Buy store. I never had any plans of using these for myself I don't care to be so connected with prying eyes or ears in my residence. I gave one to my cable company Tech because he's so great and I'll be giving the other one away to someone else who is deserving as well. They do cost $50 each however they were marked down to $30 and again two (2) of them came with my extensive Security package. Because I bought all of the other devices I needed for my hardwired ring front doorbell and my ring camera and solar panel for the back. Good luck if you like these things!

    Ive had every generation so far. This was a free add on to another purchase. The sound is far better. No longer a USB adaptor but a dedicated one, which is fine since it is always powered.

    I love the Echo Dot. Just ask it to play any music that you like and it does it. Change channels on tv, turn on lights - it is great. Very easy to set up!

    It’s awesome! I use it to play music and listen to podcasts. For being such a small device, it can be pretty loud with volume all the way up.

    We use the Echo Dot to wake up my seventeen year old son in the morning. Alarm clocks won’t do it but we can tell him to get up from our room upstairs.

    You can't expect to live in the future without having an Alexa in your home. This Echo Dot is not only a speaker to listen to all your favorite music. From turning on the lights in your home, to playing 20 questions, this smart speaker does it all in a nice compact and contemporary style.

    I have to admit I was a bit skeptical as a lot of people are with the rumors going around about the invasion of privacy but I receive one of these with my ring home security system camera and I have thoroughly enjoyed getting the Latest news updates and listening to music while getting ready for work!

    I have the 1st gen Echo Dot, put it next to this 3rd generation, it is so much improved in sound quality. The bass is so rich I thought it came from a much bigger speaker.

    What is the echo ? It’s like having a personal assistant 24 hours a days. This device is great. It’s versatile and makes my day to day shopping easy. Never thought I could just order groceries through a device or control my lights in my house. What is this an episode of the Jetsons ?

    So far so good! The voice recognition is better. I don’t have to say Alexa multiple times for it to work. This one hears me everytime, the first time. The sound is much better so far.
