    My Echo Dot 3 has all the previous capabilities plus much better sound. Like previous Dots, it easy to set up. And, for the slightly higher price is worth it for better sound.

    Purchased as a gift for my niece and she loves it. Nice sound and personal assistant in a very small package. The sale price makes this a very good value.

    3rd time is the charm

    The 3rd generation combines the best features of the original full-sized Amazon Echo (great sound) with the smaller, more accessible size of the 2nd-generation Echo dot (that had fairly poor quality sound) into a package that is both compact and affordable, but can still fill a room with surprisingly good sound.

    I have felt for some years that something like this wasn't for me BUT...I love it and am really considering a second one for my bedroom. This Echo Dot is so intuitive and so helpful around the house while I focus on other things. You can learn so much just asking it questions! One feature that I have loved is being able to tell it in the morning to play meditation music for me--that has really helped me to be calm and focused on my tasks.

    Alexa is such a must have, to be honest! Its so cool all the things you can do with her, as long as you're connected to wifi. She will always be the best assistant I can have, I got several of them and have them around the house just in case I need an instant speaker! So so so cool, dont doubt in buying her!! *Best Buy College Crew members receive products to write honest, unbiased reviews.

    I purchased the Ring Doorbell at Best Buy and the Echo Dot was included with the purchase. Thanks Best Buy! I love my Echo Dot! All you need to do is plug it in, get the app on your phone and follow the prompts. I ask Alexa silly questions, I ask her to play music, tell me jokes, set up my alarm, set up reminders, I ask for the weather, the time, etc. love it!

    The Amazon Echo Dot 3rd Gen was part of a purchase for a Ring Video Doorbell. It was a promo included with the purchase. At first I wasn't sure that I would use it but found out after install that is is very useful. Set up with the Alexa APP was simple and quick. So far I have asked Alexa several questions with quick and accurate response as well as using the alarm and asking Alexa to play music. No more looking up on the internet if I need a quick answer to a question or as simple as checking the temperature. I might consider a second purchase in the future.

    I fall into the camp of I love my Alexa. if you start automating things in your house like I have then she becomes a valued assistant. Always nearby and ready to offer assistance. I got this one for my elderly mom. Now she always has music to listen to, the weather on demand and a backup means of communication in an emergency. I taught her to say "Alexa, call my son" so she doesn't even need to be near her phone should something happen and she needs help. For that alone she is worth it.

    Pretty much the same echo dot but looks a whole lot nicer. Does not take up a lot of space and gets the job done. Pair with a nice Bluetooth speaker and you have a winner!

    I LOVE THIS DEVICE ! This was my third Echo device (my second 3rd generation Echo) I received this Echo Dot (3rd Gen) as a free gift when I ordered my son's Fire TV and passed it on to him as well. My family enjoys them. We use it to play music, ask questions about the weather and local/national events, timers/alarms, making calls and sending messages, and controlling other devices, he has even added smart lighting and smart plugs to his room. Couldn't be happier!
