    Sound is much better than the 2nd generation. Affordable option for expanding alexa in to other areas of the home.

    I have several of these and have bought a few for gifts as well. Everyone loves their gift and I love the ones I have for myself. It's a smart speaker and I use mine everyday. It's a must-have device for sure.

    Outstanding Verbal Control Mechanism

    Originally I was a little skeptical of buying an Echo Dot but made the decision to do so when I automated my swimming pool/spa with a Pentair Intellicenter Control System which boasted it could be verbally controlled. To be honest it required a little bit of a learning curve to get used to the (verbal) syntax required to make everything Alexa friendly to work seamlessly. However, after taking a couple of verbal tries and the Echo Dots (Alexa's) apparent ability to learn as you go along it definitely got easier. And now my wife and I truly enjoy control our smart home items with Alexa thru the Echo Dot. So much so that I bought a third party portable battery so that we can take Alexa outside with us while we are in the pool/spa and totally control the TV/Firestick/Pool/Spa/Music hands free. Bottom line, I should have bought an Echo Dot sooner. The only down side if there is one is that it doesn't come with an internal rechargeable battery for portability. I bought it with an Amazon Firestick combo and got an excellent combo package price!!

    Im extremely happy that Amazon did a complete redesign of the Echo dot because it was badly in need of one. The 3rd generation is finally way louder and the build quality is much better as well. I was debating on whether or not to get the Google Home mini because I've heard good things about it but I went with the echos just to give them another try. Im so happy with my decision because these things look so much better and sound so much better and also being able to set 2 of them up as a stereo pair is a plus too because I like it when my music is at the same volume throughout the house since I put them in separate rooms and them setup the stereo pair.

    I bought this for my boyfriend’s son so he could have it in his game room. He loves the broadcast feature to he can be lazy and not have to walk and talk to anyone’s face, just broadcast his message throughout the house. I gave it 4/5 stars bc I personally have Google Home and think it’s better. I don’t really have anything to compare that to though. It all started as a gift I received and we built from there. This dot seems cool and these spoiled little kids are happy :)

    My parents are elderly and live in another state. I put the Echo Dots in their house and one linked to theirs in my house. Now I can talk to them anytime without having to call them and they can call me without having to pick up the phone. They can also use it to call 911 in an emergency.
