    So, this was a freebie with another purchase. Still getting to know Alexa, but the product seems awesome. I find it’s quite convenient. The speaker sound is great. From its perch in my kitchen, it seems to pickup commands from anywhere on my ground floor, unless there’s too much noise..like tv or multiple people chatting. However, I have been nervous about having Jeff Bezos listening to going’s on in my house. I’ve tried to set it up with some “precautions” to limit surveillance...and accidental purchases and messages to my boss...

    I'm constantly amazed at how much Alexa can do. Even the grandkids love it. My 3 year old even likes to pretend that he is Alexa to do things around the house. Of course, he was disappointed when he Alexa couldn't get the Christmas tree out of the garage. He says Alexa can do anything. Maybe someday.

    We got one of these to augment the Alexa we have had for some years in the family room. Set it up quickly using the Alexa app. Wife wanted to quickly find out the weather before dressing for the day so we got this one to put closer to the dressing area. The music requests also can lighten your day.

    Play your favorite beats and make all your smart home dreams come true with the Echo. This speaker isn’t just your house party companion. It’s a smart speaker with bonafide benefits, including high-quality sound, voice recognition technology, and Alexa for hands-free control.

    Alexa has worked out good. From the beginning it pretty much loaded it self and everything else I’ve added later. The only issue that I’ve had is when the power goes off it won’t function. Once I figured out the cure by going back into the Alexa app and tapping on name, everything’s fine again. Also trouble loading the wyze smart plug, took forever but once hooked up no problems. These are one of those products ya didn’t know how you got along without it. Signed lazy!

    I always liked having an Alexa. Now my dad hates it. Says it’s useless and totally against having anything like that bc if his conspiracy theories. One day I put meditation/sleep music and that knocked him out. Next day I come home and I hear him talking to Alexa. Literally perfect as a “speaker” too.

    Great device to stream music, cast music to all rooms, as any question and get answers, e.g., traffic reports, news, weather, cooking times, medical, history, order off Amazon, set timers, alarm clocks, control your automated devices such as WEMO, NEST, iHome, etc. Also if you have Audible and Kindle it wii play them back.

    Great speaker! I have so many I had to put this one in the basement for when the family calls me. Finally, my parents are moving away from their landline as they can call us kids on Alexa and they dont have to remember our phone numbers. :)

    The sound on this echo dot 3rd gen is a huge improvement over the 2nd generation. This version of the dot is the first one I would recommend to someone who is interested in a smart speaker. The new one actually has bass. Very happy with this purchase. A great value for the money. All in all a nice product for the smart home.

    Useful to turn off all lights you may forgot to before going to bed. My son plays a music he likes and dances. He sometimes solves a math Hw(?) I heard that “Alexa, what is 7 plus 2?” .... .... I play a music for my dog when I have to leave her alone. So many things you can do with this small dot.

    This little thing sounds awesome!! I bought it for about half of the original selling price and it was a steal! Alexa work, but it could get better. I have a few of this in my living room and set them up in different places to get as best audio as possible. Would recommend, but probably not for more than $40.

    I got this for my wife for her birthday & she absolutely loves it. It does so many things. It doubles as a Siri, answers questions, you can tell it to play your music, tells you when the game is on, etc. The #1 feature she loves about it the most is that you can control your Roomba with Alexa. So multifaceted.

    Fourteen year old daughter easily set her device up on her own. Very user friendly, only down fall is some features require higher level of option and pay for options in app for it to be compatible with this device! Other than that, this is great and with it being free with Ring purchase; not much to complain about!!! Lol

    I love it I am not alone at home now. She wakes me up with the news and lets me know if someone is at my door. If I have a question she most of the time has the answer. She controls my lights. I highly recommend

    The title says it all. If you know these dots, they are great little gadgets. We have had several of the older generation. In addition to the new softer appearance, the sound quality seems to have improved quite a bit over the older generation, even though the price has stayed low.
