    I like the 2nd Gen, but this 3rd Gen is a good improvement. The sound quality is a little better and it looks more modern/sleek.

    Love the new design, much less plasticky than the gen 2 models with much better sound fidelity. Also, at 30 bucks a pop, great value.

    This makes an excellent stand alone bluetooth speaker, or use it with Alexa to play Amazon music. The sound this little Dot can produce is amazing! I never thought I would want or use an Echo Dot, but after seeing my parents get one for Christmas and the ease they had using it for a variety of things, it became a must have. Hook up a compatible power outlet plug and control any device you want, get the weather, sports scores, news, music, and listen to your Audible audiobooks. Love my Dot so much I now have 3.

    Can You Live Without It?

    I have an Echo Dot 2nd generation but this one looks a lot better. It doesn't look like an old piece of electronic device the one I already had. The design is great and the color goes with anything. It definitely sounds better than the 2nd generation but I would not recommend it for that reason alone. It is not worth it to replace it with this one. But if you - like me - are adding more of these to your house or are buying one for the first time, then this is the one. If you never owned an Alexa device before, you will find out that she can meet a lot of needs that you didn't even know you had. When I first brought one home, I actually thought that I had made a mistake but I ended up finding out that it could do a lot more than I expected: help me with language learning, with cooking, reading audio books, entertaining, and so much more. I just can't live without Alexa anymore and this Echo Dot is more attractive to the eye.

    3rd Gen Echo Dot

    I've had the 2nd generation Echo Dot for a few years and decided to purchase the 3rd generation as well for a different room in my home. It performs well. There are not many differences between the "functionality" of the 3rd gen from the 2nd gen; however, I personally think it looks nicer. Also, for being so small and only $35 (on sale), the sound quality is surprisingly good! You wont get intense bass rattling the floor, but you can hear some lows. It's a great device!

    These little guys are inexpensive and quite powerful and useful. I have one tucked away on each of the 3 levels in the house. It's great for music, tracking your grocery lists, and I've connected to Eufy video doorbell and they all chime when the doorbell is pressed -- so I can easily hear from anywhere in the house. I actually like this 3rd generation flat design versus that big ball design for 4th Gen. And, the sound is good enough!

    Better than the Gen 2 Dot

    I have several Gen 2 echo Dot devices in my house already. I purchased this gen 3 echo dot after listening to it at a friend's house. I was so impressed by the sound quality that I needed to have one of these. The sound quality is far superior than the gen 2, and i wished i had this model all around my house instead. It does not sound "tinny" or like you're listening to a cell phone and It actually has bass! Aside from the general look and sound quality, it does everything the Gen 2 does, it just cost more.

    What can I say about the Echo Dot? It works and is quite versatile. I use mine mostly to play music and get weather reports. With Amazon Music and TuneIn Radio (and other sources) I just about never need an FM tuner. And Alexa turns my lights on and off. She doesn't make me breakfast, but if I bothered to, I could have her start a coffee pot or other appliances in the morning. I think my wife may be jealous of her (not!).

    Budget-friendly Small Speaker

    These do the job for me, mostly because I use it as only marginally more than a voice-activated music player. Is Amazon listening to my conversations? Probably, but I'm pretty boring anyway. The speaker itself is acceptable for the small size, and is easy to hide. I wouldn't say there's anything outstanding, but for a product you can regularly find for $25 or less, what do you expect?
