    Got this for my dad for Christmas and he absolutely loves it. It's easy to setup and use and the quality of it is super good considering I only had to pay $30.

    I have had an Alexa and Echo Dot since they were released. The problem with the dot was the lack of a speaker. The gen 3 now has the speaker included. This device is a good price point (often included free with other smart devices) for adding functionality to rooms around the house. You can extend your control of lights and devices and truly make your home a connected smart home.

    I did not find this easy to use, but that is because I use everything Apple. My 15 year old son ended up taking this and using it, and he loves it. Works well for him. He uses it to listen to music. The volume is loud enough for a teenager to enjoy :)

    Good sound for a small speaker. Love Alexa and the ease of use in streaming audio. Also have it hooked up to turn my tv on and off... fun! I actually have 3 situated throughout the house.

    this thing puts out a pretty good level of sound. Often times I'll simply use this device instead of my sound bar. If you aren't huge into bass but like a good sound...this is a great product.

    I was pleasantly surprised at the sound quality. I have Alexa echo so I was skeptical about the dot. Well..the sound quality is really good. Perfect for smaller rooms. I received this one for free as a promotion.

    The echo is great, it will play music based off what your interested in and adjusts to what you like. Pairing it with the smart plugs is great, makes it easy to just tell alexa to turn off the lights from different rooms.

    Purchased it on sale. Adds a lot of value to our lives daily. Examples: to check the weather, a stock price, listen to NPR news, find out facts about a country, etc. Good quality sound for such a small device. No issues with it staying connected online.

    I use it for some of my home automation and voice control devices. Got it during a deal so it is a good value. The sound is a little better than the gen 2 model. A little more bass and a little louder.

    The sound is better. The fabric cover looks nice. The one problem is some auxiliary manufacturers have made devices like clocks that allow the dot to fit inside and work together, but they'll only connect with 2nd generation Dots. This third generation has eliminated that option. I wish Amazon would once again give their Dots the flexibility to work with more devices.

    Alexa the hostess

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is my first smart device. Alexa was easy to set up & came with a lot of freebies, like Amazon Prime, Amazon Music, Amazon Reading & Audiobooks. I'll have to cancel in a month though, but it s a good taste to sample and keep what I like. I've downloaded games, word of the day, the news etc. it is endless. I could spend the whole day telling Alexa what to do, but I mostly use her for music and answering questions. I find that she doesn't know a lot, so if you're a kid, she can't do your homework, only basic question and answers. She can be connected to smart dimmers, light bulbs etc, but I have yet to buy and connect those things. So, right now, echo is pretty fantastic. She is a great hostess at parties, adjusting the music to my guests' tastes & preferences.

    This was my second echo dot purchase. It works well and the purchase price was very good since I bought it on the Black Friday sale. The speaker quality is surprisingly good for a unit this small. I do however like my Google home mini better because it seems to have more functionality and it answers questions more correctly.
