    Really enjoy being able to ask Alexa to play Christmas songs or tell me the weather. I honestly wish I had one for each room in my house.

    Seems buggy at times

    I've had the 2nd gen dot for a while in my home and just replaced it with two new 3rd gen dots. one in the living room and one in the bedroom. The device itself is more aesthetically pleasing and the speaker on this one is way better but my only complaint I suppose is that they have seemed to be a lot more prone to not working right than the last one I had. At times, she may not hear the wake word, other times shes way to sensitive. The follow-up command seems buggy, sometimes working and at other times not. Things she used to be able to control she cannot "communicate with" Keep in mind that these issues seem sporadic, sometimes non-existent and then giving trouble the next. These things could potentially be fixed in future updates though. Just a comparison of mine from my 2nd gen to my new 3rd gens.

    Im not going to lie here, I bought this, and I barely use it. I use it as a glorified speaker for Spotify. The sound quality is good but there's very little bass. Alex understands me most of the time, but with every smart device it has its moments where it doesn't understand properly. I do take advantage of the skills when I remember though, those tend to be useful. The price I got it at was great, the normal price isn't worth it though. I don't think I would recommend this until its on sale again and even then there might be something better to spend your money on.

    Nice upgrade from 2nd Gen Echo Dot

    While the functionality is the same, this is a worthwhile upgrade simply because of the improved sound quality over the previous version Echo Dot. The unit is not much larger, but it feels more solid and the sound is 10 times better. It doesn't sound "tinny" like the previous model and even has an ok amount of "bass" for a speaker this size. The only change I don't like is that the 3rd Gen Dot uses its own proprietary AC Adapter instead of using a USB cable like the previous version.

    Echo dots are great gifts and great little devices. I have tried the 3rd and the 4th Gen dots. These are still a good deal (especially on sale or as a bonus gift for a Best Buy or AMZ purchase. The kids love asking "Alexa" random questions, and sometimes her responses are entertaining for adults. I more appreciate using these as little music devices in random places in the house.

    These echo dots are pretty amazing little speakers. I was surprised at the rich, quality sound. I think I even like it better than some of the more expensive models I have. And they are less obtrusive. This one sits on a shelf where you'd barely notice it. This one is a win for me!

    Great for gifting your family members! I gifted one of many of these I bought to my cousin and her son connected their Smart TV with it. Her mother, his grandmother is cooking and her sister came in and said, "Alexa turn off tv" and her sister was so confused thinking someone was also in the house. Great way to show off you are a tech guru ;)

    I give this item five stars , first because it was cheap when getting it and it’s honestly a good product even though I haven’t really figured out or tried all the features it can have . But yea recommend it came the next day and it was handled with care . This product came with a free wifi light bulb which I seen the price it $14 something dollars but I got it for free so I definitely recommend this Alexa , check it out
