    Simply put - I practically hated every waking moment with the 2nd Gen Echo Dot. The mic never worked right, but forget even hearing my voice if there was any music in the background. The speaker was that of an early 2000's cell phone, which I don't use this to listen to music... It just made "Alexa" sound tinny and unbearable to listen to for more than 2-3min. The 3rd gen? I gotta say Amazon finally decided to put some real thought into it, bravo. (Even though it looks like a carbon copy of the Google Mini). At least the mic seems on the money each time. The speaker is so much better I don't mind listening to podcasts, etc. on it at all. Somehow the Bluetooth seems to work more efficiently... I've been told that's because it's using different, less error-prone hardware and protocols behind the scenes. All in all, trying to remove all bias aside from the experience with the 2nd gen... I would say regardless it's actually a pretty good product.

    I got the Echo Dot (3rd Gen) as a freebie when buying the Ring Pro Doorbell. Made it all a great purchase value. I'm a little leery of having something always listening and keeping a record of it. But, with that said, I have enjoyed having Alexa play Sirius XM channels at my request. The sound is really great for such a small speaker. I may buy a 2nd one to pair it for "stereo" sound. I like using Alexa to turn on and off my Feit Smart LED lights. Limited use so far but I'm looking forward to expanding my usage as I experiment with this technology.

    This Product offers decent sound and richer bass, compared to my much cheaper Bluetooth speaker, the Boat Stone 260. It works seamlessly with my smart home devices, and the app is fantastic. The app works great, and you can control your smart home or this dot from anywhere in the world, as long both of your devices have an internet connection. It's a fun little party trick, really. I couldn't be more happier with my echo dot.
