    My girlfriend loves it.! She wants them for the kids. I like using it mainly for weather information and music. I also use it for an alarm. I was surprised that it plays music when waking me up.

    Great device. It allows me to be updated on all of my purchases, weather updates, and works with multiple music apps. You can also pair them with other Alexa speakers for a whole home sound. They are a cheap way to add some enjoyment and entertainment to your life.

    There third verison of the dot does sound a litter nicer than the previous generation. It looks a little sleeker as well. These are nice beside the bed as alarm clocks, voice assistanst, and a little music as well.

    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.

    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.

    All over the place

    This is the third echo in my house. There are a lot of reasons to have these devices other than ask Alexa. Having these spaced throughout the house allows me to have music piped through every room without having to crank up the volume. I love soft classical which doesn’t translate as well as rap at high volume. Don’t get me wrong, Alexa is ok. Being able to turn on or adjust lights while entering, leaving or in a room or responding to a doorbell press without having to run to the nearest speaker or break out my phone is also a thing. Having the Zigbee hub built into the show allows me to control my smart home from any room. I also like having cameraless devices in private spaces.
