    Easy set up, the echo dot works so well. I feel I am never alone :-)! It plays music when I take a shower, it tells me all I need to know, from NPR to different kinds of music, and best of all, it never complains! It does not feel insecure I have another dot, and it doesn't complain when I dont feel like talking to it. The echo dot knows it is all about ME! :-)

    The Echo dot is very convenient, you can start your music, you can change your home temperature (i have an eco bee 4), you can check your amazon orders, check the weather and etc. easy to change places, if you want to bring it to your bathroom and listen music to while you shower yiu can, if you want to cook listing to your echo you also can. Very easy to use and a great help during the day.

    I currently have an Insignia Google home smart speaker which I love but this Echo Dot is fantastic!, It has better compatibility with a lot more smart devices than Google Home, the sound is nice and crisp for such a small device I paired this with my thermostat, Ring cameras and my Samsung Powerbot and everything works great just with a voice command I can get everything started.

    Got it for free with a tv in Black Friday . Never thought I would use it but it actually does serve a great purpose. I always ask it the weather every morning while I’m bed and don’t have to bother googling it on my phone and ask it to play music and set timers it’s really useful. I wouldn’t mind buying the newer one In the future it really does come in handy.

    Quick and easy set up even for the average/not super tech savvy person. Works as expected and easy to add skills. I mostly use it for music and the sound quality is just fine in my open kitchen/ living room. The one thing I wish is that this would work without being plugged in but then, how would they make as much money if you didn't have to buy one for every room you wanted it in.

    This is my 4th Echo Dot. I use them mainly for cooking and kindle for when I'm working out. There super easy to setup and don't take up a lot of space. One of my favorite features are the voice commands. You can ask Alexa questions if you're unsure about things, she tells you jokes and you can even order FOOD. The Echo dot will be a great gadget for your house.

    Alexa has been useful for telling me the weather and reminding me of my schedule. The sound quality on the speaker is also great for listening to music and the design of the third generation would look aesticaly pleasimg in pretty much any room.

    First Echo Dot

    I can only review this as a first time user with this type device. I've had it a couple weeks now and it is really a fun thing to have around. It was easy to set up, and thus far has worked well. I purchased a few smart light switches and plugs. They, on the other hand, were a little trickier to get going, but ;ike everything tech, got easy after the first connect. Connecting the plugs and switches to the wifi took a try or two, but connecting them to the Dot was simple. The speaker is a little muffled, but not bad. The Dot can hear you without having to turn the TV down, or sushing other conversations. So far, I am happy with this purchase.

    I never understood the hype for the echo dot, I mean, how useful could a hockey puck sized speaker be? Well, now I understand. The echo dot is small but packs a punch. I put it in my bathroom and use to all the time to listen to music while getting ready. It’s easy to pair to other steaming services or you can easily pull songs from amazon music. A must have for any home!

    I remember thinking I did not need an Alexa until I got my girlfriend a fire TV. Alexa came with the tv. Not only is Alexa a must get because you can ask it to switch channels, turn light on with smart light, or order specific items on Amazon. But it could be helpful for my grandparents who constantly lose remote

    I have been one of the skeptical folks not wanting a device listening 100% of the time and finally gave in. The Echo dot is great and we've had fun making all sorts of requests and playing games. I linked my SiriusXM account (w/ streaming) and can listen to satellite radio all over the house. There are tons of skills and unlimited possibilities to control all sorts of devices, lights etc.

    I have a few of these smart home devices placed conveniently around the house to control my other smart home devices (LED light bulbs, speakers, Ring Doorbell 2). I like how the quality is pretty good, nice and very stylish, great product from Amazon! Highly recommended for kids room so that they can stream Amazon music and you can drop in and have a two-way convo.

    We have Alexas all over our house! I won’t say that the dot has the best sound but it’s also not bad. In a smaller space I think it would be great. We have our dot connected to a Bose SoundTouch and it makes listening to music so simple. For just regular use it’s not connected and still sounds decent. For the price it can’t be beat.

    These are great! I have 3 of them, one on each floor. I can call all my kids for dinner with the announcement feature, create a shopping list, listen to music, have it turn on lights, ask it questions. I love the drop in feature. As a busy mom, these Echo Dots are the perfect addition to my house not only because they are so useful, but also the price is right for all that it does!

    This Echo Dot was a pleasant addition to our recent (smart) TV purchase. After downloaded the Alexa App to a phone or tablet, it is easy to set up, and Amazon's phone support was also very helpful. Just say, "Alexa, play Mozart (or Diana Krall, or Dave Brubeck, etc.), and if you're an Amazon Prime member, the Echo Dot will play an assortment from Amazon's extensive free music collection (or ask you to sign up for a free trial if you request something available only through an additional subscription). We found the sound to be a bit tinny, and bought a very good, inexpensive, external speaker (OontZ Angle 3) that connects by Blu-tooth, and can be used while plugged its charger is connected (saving you from having to charge the speaker after 14 hours of use). That set-up gives surprisingly good sound quality for music and responses to questions. The Echo Dot also controls our smart thermostat (and can control other smart devices and lights). All you need to do is use the Alexa App to connect the Dot to your wi-fi router, and you're all set for a nice "assistant" that will answer questions like, "What is the temperature in Duluth, Minnesota? or outside now (and tonight)?" "Who is Lady Gaga?" or any number of questions you might manually have to search for on the Internet.

    I own over a half dozen Echo's. This third gen Dot has about as good a sound as the first gen full size Echo. While lacking in bass, it makes up with ease of use and size. I have four of my Echo's set up in the multiroom audio, which makes it nice to listen to music throughout the house. Catch this on sale and it's a great deal.

    A great addition to our growing Alexa team, great sound in such a small package. We use this on our patio at night to listen to music and enjoy a drink with our fire pit.
