    I received the Echo Dot with my smart thermostat purchase. I also have the Ring doorbell and security system, which came with Dots as well. The Dot can be used to check stat temp and settings, but it is even more useful with my security devices. The Dot alerts me when the doorbell is pressed or when it senses motion. This is nice as I have a Dot in my basement, and strategically placed in other areas of the home, which allows my family to know of activity without the need of a cell phone (kids for example). I can also arm and disarm the security system through the Dot. Again, think of placement of Dots vs the location of your security keypad. I can simply tell Alexa to arm if I’ve forgotten, e.g. I’m already in bed. It’s also nice to disarm by voice with full arms of groceries as you enter, as well.

    I really enjoy it! It’s my second one I had the first generation. The price was better than the original one. Will definitely recommend it for the the value and great performance it gives. Greater sound than the first gen also!

    These “dots” are the best option for low profile speakers all with the fun of Alexa and the entertainment that platform brings. Sound quality is great for an apartment size surround sound feel. Rich and theatrical. Amazon has me hooked. But I hate that the Alexa AI keeps asking to get to know me better, to recognize my voice. Not unless you treat me to dinner first!

    Pleasantly surprised with the sound on this 3rd gen dot. We don't have to hook it up to any other speaker for it to be louder.

    Bought this equipment to play music. But realised its much more than that. She can answer almost any question I need answers for. Plus she wakes me in the morning, remind me of any appontments or birthdays I need to remember. Love it

    I just love my echo dot. Alexa can answer any question you may ask. Plays songs, tell her what song you want to hear, and she plays it. Tells the weather, answer trivial questions, and do many other things. I like that she has voice recognition, and will respond to just the voices you want her to.

    I like having these around the house. I can message or talk to the kids from work, set an alarm using Alexa, the kids can ask whatever to do their homework with, how to spell etc. Alerts us when a package arrives cause UPS never knocks or rings the doorbell. Very useful! Best Buy gave one of these free too with a purchsase!

    This is my second device; I own the 2nd generation and there is an amazing improve with sound and appearance. This one I use without any other speaker because the sound quality its amazing for a small room. Also, the voice detection improves the answer from Alexa, having the dot understanding almost everything from a considered distance. Besides that, all the apps keep working without any issue. Finally, appearance its much better with that fabric around the device.

    Set up was easy. Compatible with many smart devices. Small enough to use anywhere around the house. Have it set up with my Google calendar, music accounts, podcasts, etc. Looking forward to upgrading and enhancing devices at home to control and access thru actual echo or even my cell phone when away from home.
