    Easy setup. Works well with tv and lights. Sometimes I have to give the same command a few times to get what I want, but other than that I have no complaints.

    Good little speaker. I also have the 4th gen. This is better than my 2nd, but not as much bass as my 4th. Small and does what I need it to do.

    The profile is very nice and the speaker is clearer, compared to the 2nd gen Echo Dot unit I had previously. Interface to program/set preferences is done through either the phone or through the interface that can be accessed via computer. A good way to try out Amazon Echo Dot if you're looking to convert your home into a smart home! I also like that I got this with my watch purchase, so free is always better.

    Somewhat disappointing 3rd gen

    Somewhat disappointed in the 3rd gen Echo Dot. The voice range intelligibility is muffled compared to the 2nd gen. This is the result of the internal speaker facing down with sound emitting thru the bottom edge of the unit. Consequently, you no longer need to wall mount the unit to help with the bass response. I should note that my primary use is not music. I will concede that this version has much better bass and more volume than the 2nd gen, but the highs are definitely muted. A larger internal speaker helps, but results in a larger case size. If you wish to wall or ceiling mount, you will need to buy a new mount.

    We already have the 1st generation Echo and happy with it. The Echo dot is compact and looks sleek in our bedroom. We use it to turn on the lamp and listen to music while getting ready for work or just relaxing. The speaker is “just okay” but you can’t really expect much due to the compact design. Overall you can’t go wrong at this price point! All Amazon customers should own this device.

    I love this! it was a present for my father for Christmas and it is a must! He uses it as a clock to tell him the time as well as to listen to music and ask other questions he has. He is not much of a techy person, but he utilizes it every day and really enjoys having accesses to the internet with this device. I would totally recommend this to my friends and family.

    I am still figuring out how practical this Alexa Dot is, but it certainly is a lot of fun, especially the smart speaker. I put this one in my office and will buy another soon as an alarm clock. I am an Amazon Prime member, but never took advantage of the free Amazon music until I bought this product. Alexa has a sense of humor. I look forward to the day when more machine learning is built into the product.

    I love this one! I have the first generation echo, which is kind of dying at this point, but the speaker in the third generation is amazing! It gets pretty loud! So I usually keep it on volume six, and that actually still feels louder than usual. This purchase came paired with a smart light bulb, and it is awesome! I love being able to tell Alexa to turn the light on.

    We loved our 2nd Gen dot for why we needed it for. When this one came out we decided to get it as it had louder sound and a new design. We have no complaints! The unit is easy to set up and paid to our receiver for fuller sound. At $25 it was a steal! While we use it for the basics (lights, timers, and music...) we love it for what we use it for. If you’re curious, this is a great entry level home assistant! Enjoy with confidence!

    This came as a bonus gift when purchasing Ring Video Doorbell 2. I would never have purchased it, otherwise. That said, We are very happy with this addition to our home devices! We never expected it would become a part of household routines for listening to music, alarms, notices of deliveries, and perhaps best of all-making our grocery list!! Thank you Amazon, Ring and Best Buy for a great gift we never knew we needed!
