    Alexa as in "Her" the film.

    Alexa resists some queries, either shutting down, or saying, "I'd rather not answer that", or she does not know. She is good at reminders. You can make many repeat reminders of the same thing. She plays many different song requests with ads breaking in. She turns light on/off, dims/brightens lights, she says "you're welcome", or "you bet", or "anytime" when I say thank you. She tells me the time, date when I ask her. She tells me news, history, all kinds of information. Alexa also learns from the users. Sometimes I unplug my bedroom Echo Dot so she does not tell me an early reminder if I want to sleep longer. Plus I turn off my router and modem. Gotta have some solitude.

    Liked my Echo. I didn't know how to use this at first but my young daughter helped me set it up. I like that I can play music on it. It has many features but that is what I mostly use it for.

    First of all why in the world do I need to have 50 word minimum ?? I've NOT given reviews for this very reason ! I would think any review you would want to hear........... This is plain goofy to me ! Well as to the purchase of the Amazon - Echo Dot (3nd Gen)- Smart Speaker with Alexa -Charcoal. I really enjoy it. I would tell others to get one. I do plan on buying another one. Hope this meets with the 50 characters. Thank you. PS - fixt that 50 thing. You will either get no ans. back or some body just going on to meet it .................................................................

    These are super compact and sound way better than the 1st gen ones I had before. It sounds better than some of the older dedicated speakers I had. Very compact and easy to put and hide around the house too

    small and able to be kept anywhere on your desk. great in that it gives a boost to your sound when watching a movie or playing any game. Just bought it about 4 weeks ago but should have purchased it sooner.

    very handy device. I have been doing some home remodeling during quarantine and have used it for listening to music. It is also compatible with my ring doorbell and notifies me when someone is at my door.

    I asked my teenage son to set this echo up and he did it in a few mintues. It now resides in his room and performs as he needs. It's does a great job of reminding him of his chores as as wake up alarms ...etc. I love it ;)

    This is an need upgrade over the 2nd generation Echo. The sound quality is better and you can connect two speakers for better stereo sound. The design is a softer cover feel than 2nd gen plastic feel. This model also keeps the line -in connector along with Bluetooth connectivity. Amazon really improved where they needed too. I love this look and sound quality of these over the previous models.

    3rd Gen Echo Dot is great product. Very handy accessory to have in different rooms of the house. Ask her questions, set timers, set reminders, play music, listen to your favorite talk shows, etc. Well worth the cost.

    I wasn't expecting much, but this thing gets pretty loud when needed. I haven't done much with it yet, but the few things I've done have gone well, including asking it to turn on a show on the connected TV.
