    For such a light price tag, it does a lot. Great voice recognition and the speaker is loud. The setup is really easy, and the software is well made. Lots of skills to add as well you connect nearly anything.

    I love it! Alexa will read me a story or tell Samuel l Jackson to tell me a joke! ( Download of Sam Jackson's voice skill req'd) Alexa can turn off my smart light bulbs or change the color to whichever color I feel like requesting! How cool is that? I bought several to give as Christmas gifts and I'm sure the recipients will love this device as much as I do!

    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.

    Purchase this echo dot for a present. My mother loved it! She connected it to her network easily and enjoys all the features such as Amazon music and being able to control her lights.

    The sound is not bad at all small but sounds big. Easy to install, fun to have. You can listen to almost any song, also local radio stations. You can ask a lot of information too! Great to have one!

    Great product! Very sleek looking. Alexa is easy to use. You need to make sure you can download an app to be able to connect with alexa to personalize her. Also, the skills on the app are a great feature.

    Another highly useful piece of tech that goes well with my WiFi items in my place. Easy to set up and use in less then 15 minutes. After that just download the apps echo need on the smartphone to hookup with other WiFi items.

    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.

    I loved my second generation echo dots but the third generation ones really stepped up the volume. It understands what I'm saying 100% of the time even if the volume is loud. So much better than the Google Home Minis I have.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I’ve never wanted one of these because of all the headlines of it listening etc. I got this for free with a purchase and I’m already considering buying a few around the house. I only use it for music. I like how you can play music from your account to it and still play music from your mobile phone which is unnecessary but cool to do. I can be on the phone talking while music plays. If you get one try it there a bunch of other cool uses for it. Not that scary.
