    I got it free with my echo show. I use it in the bed room from time to time. The best part it you can hook it up to your echo show and have two things playing in different rooms

    Sound from this most recent generation is much better than the previous gen. It is still just a small speaker so don’t expect thumping base or anything but it works well enough.

    I never thought I would get a virtual assistant but have enjoyed having this one in my kitchen to ask questions. Not a very expensive option for the ease of use.

    I like having this third unit in a far off distant bedroom. Convenient! Connected a fan with a smart plug nearby and this third additional unit controls it nicely.

    Ive had an echo dot for a while now. But I purchased this one for helping to automate my home. Having one in each room does help to turn on and off lights.

    Bought the Echo for multiple uses in our house. We control Hue lights, set alarms, play music, and also serves as intercom throughout multiple rooms in the house. May need one more!

    Purchased one for each kid and everyone loves them. Kids use Alex for an alarm clock, music mostly. I like that I don’t have to yell anymore and can use as an intercom to call kids.

    I love the third gen, it’s so much much louder and more clear than the previous generations, and with the great sales I bought two and paired them together for stereo in my living room!
