    Quick setup. With a small but robust profile provides ample sound for bedroom environments.

    This was free with my Ring Doorbell purchase - thanks, Best Buy - and I am using it to replace (still working) 2nd Gen. The old device will be passed on to my aging parents who are getting great use of their devices for turning lights on and off, shopping lists and purchases. I have an Echo device of one kind or another in every room of my condo - loyal Amazon home!!

    I have an Echo and wanted to be able to access Alexa from other parts of our home. I added three Dot's so I have one on each of three floors and in my work shop. They work great! I've added smart lights in our family room and outside to light up our driveway at night. Sometimes my commands aren't interpreted correctly, but I'm learning to speak more clearly with some words, and that has made a difference.

    Its an Echo all i can say. the sound quality is a little above par the round one is better. Great voice range for recognition. bought it on sell reflects value marking. Small apt so the dot and Alexa answer but less then you would think so great tech in there somewhere.

    I have heard a lot about Alexa and we are still getting to know each other. I am amazed at the things she knows and she is definitely great at reminding me of things. I love that she can call my friends and family for me and also help me with questions that I don't have to google. It is great for everyone, but being of the older generation I can honest say she is the greatest!

    The Echo Dot 3 is an attractive, compact device. It's a decent speaker with good, clear sound. Where it falls short is where you need it most. 1) Alexa's voice is WAY TOO LOUD! More often than not I find myself just unplugging at night to avoid the temptation to speak the wake word and have her blurt out at high volume like some drunk girl at a party that's already wound down. As it is dependent on wifi, any command while not connected will prompt a super loud reply, like say volume down while using the bluetooth function to stream shows or music. Same for when it connects to a device. She just yells out the device serial number. I've tried to find ways to quiet her voice level vs music and I just don't see the option anywhere. 2) For it to be a smart speaker that is compatible with smart devices it sure doesn't seem all that smart. It still needs to be manually connected to other devices that A) that are in the same network, B) have Alexa C) Have Alexa under the same account... D) Are streaming Amazon content. Feels like 2008 all over again. The Alexa app is ok but nowhere near as intuitive as it should be. 3) Echo Dot 3 is NOT a portable, speaker as it has no battery. Maybe they're saving that feature for the 4. I've never had a desktop speaker that I couldn't take with me. There are however 3rd party devices available to remedy this. Overall, like I said, decent sound device. As long as you have stable wifi and the patience to constantly adjust the volume and to the situation you should be fine with it.

    Bought three of these and added them to my other Alexa device collection, have one in every room of my 6000 sq ft home. Just love what these devices can do and then grouping them to allow for music to play in multiple rooms at the same time is great too, Lots of skills that can be downloaded to provide all sorts of automation, I have them control the TV, BluRay, fans, lights, in all rooms, very cool.

    I bought 2 Amazon Echo Dots for my daughter for a stocking stuffer at Christmas thinking she would probably be returning them ... but we had so much fun playing with them we ended up buying 3 more so we would have one in every room! You can use them for many tasks, but I enjoy them for music, news & weather. The sound is amazing for thier size. We got the larger Echo for the family room due to improved sound!
