    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.

    I love my echo dots I have one in each room of my house and it makes it a lot easier to communicate with my children in other rooms rather than yelling for them across the house. It also has great sound quality. The only problem I have with it so far is that sometimes it freezes up and I can't get a response so I have to reset the whole device.

    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.

    Received the echo with Ring doorbell cam as part of Xmas promotion bundle. If you are looking for a simple device that is discreet with a great speaker this is for you. You can access Alexa ..Spotify etc

    Even though this is a previous gen it doesn't feel like. Sound was crisp and connectivity was easy. It can easily be tucked away or hidden from the view. Best investment for the price.

    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.

    Slim profile is nice for the nightstand. I prefer this model (gen 3) over gen 4. Wish Amazon would put more tactile bumps to differentiate the buttons in the dark.

    Amazing little speaker. The sound quality is out of this world. All the things Alexa can do make this little gem a must have. Couldn't be happier!

    Have 3 of these through out the house and like being able to request information from any room. The sound and speaker quality has improved with this generation and it looks better than the earlier models.

    Easy to get started

    I originally bought 2 dots for my new house just to see what they were all about. I had them for roughly a week and decided to get 2 more to put in other rooms. Out of the box they are very simple to get set up and started and the app is easy to navigate. I have all of them linked so I can listen to music throughout the house, I have connected some to speakers because the sound quality for music isn’t great, but it isn’t advertised to be. I’ve bought some of the plugs since and plan on getting lights soon as well. If you want something to control your music, set up a morning routine (tell you weather, news, drive time to work, and play a custom playlist you choose), control lights, tv (if you have a smart tv), and just ask random questions, for sure get one!

    Hey there! I recently picked up the Alexa Echo Dot and I'm loving it. Incredibly useful. It's a compact smart speaker that's great for controlling my smart home devices and getting quick info like the weather forecast. The voice recognition is super accurate and it's super convenient to use. The sound quality is fine, but it's not going to blow you away if you're a serious music listener. All in all, it's a solid choice for anyone looking to add voice control to their home.

    This would be my second echo I buy and its amazing what it can do with giving it commands. From playing music to turning on lights. Also tells me when someone is at the door. Don't know what I'd do without it.

    Better looking and better quality than the last generation. Not much to say other than that it works and I had no issues during setup. It is also constantly on sale and it's a good device for your room without a camera.
