It’s pretty ok so far. My kids love using it, always asking alexa to play cocomelon

The only thing wrong with this dot its was that it came torn but everything works fine

Is a major device with a variety of utilitiesp that make for a great experiece.

I really enjoy Alexa in the echo dot. I love when she sings and tells jokes .

I was skeptical about what kind of sound experience the Echo Dot would provide. When you look at it, the first thought is, wow, this is small. It isn't terribly bigger than a hockey puck, but the sound it produces is pretty impressive. The size of this speaker really works to it's advantage. It won't get knocked over, it is very discreet to a point that you usually don't even notice it's there, until you start up the music. Of course, since this is a smaller speaker, you are not going to get the bass impact like you do from it's big brother the Echo. However, when you have a Dot paired with an Echo, they compliment each other quite nicely. The price point on this device is great. I was able to pick a couple of the Dots up during the Holidays for $25 a piece and for that price these are a steal!!! Even at the regular price of $49, you are getting a quality speaker with enough functionality through the Alexa app to make it a worth while purchase. If heavier bass and volume are your thing, then go with the bigger Echo, otherwise, you can't go wrong with the Dot if you are looking for a way to break into the world of Alexa. The Dots are currently 2 for $50, which makes this a no brainer purchase in my opinion. Go get some!

The Amazon Echo Dot (4th Generation) features a fresh, spherical design that stands out from its predecessors' cylindrical shapes. Its compact size makes it easy to place anywhere in the house, and it blends seamlessly with most home decor. The fabric finish adds a touch of elegance, and the build quality feels robust and premium. The buttons on top are tactile and responsive, providing easy control for volume, mute, and activation. The sound quality of the Echo Dot (4th Gen) has seen significant improvements. Despite its small size, it delivers clear and balanced audio with a surprising amount of bass. It’s ideal for casual listening,

After a few days the time display went off I’m not sure if it’s broken or if there is another way I can turn it back on. It’s was great until I couldn’t see the time then that defeated the purpose of me getting a clock like speaker/alarm.

Love it! It is a great little speaker that works well. It connected with the app and other devices easily. It responds well and is louder than expected for its size. Definitely not as loud as the gen 4 and full size echo but worth the Black Friday sale price. I liked it so much I plan to order more. It also is easy to display without looking out of place. I haven’t had any problems with it.

I get too many error messages. Tells me please try that again later. Or sometimes it says having trouble connecting to the internet. I have a very fast internet rate and this is the only device that says this message.

So I was one of the early adopters of the original Amazon Echo when it first released many years ago. When Iearned about the Echo Dot, I could see why a smaller unit would be desirable (to have more than one around the home), but it seemed silly to me. Furthermore, the original Echo was touted for its strong speakers, so a smaller Dot (to me) would not be able to produce audio quality anywhere close to the original Echo. As a result, I refrained from purchasing the Dot and figured it would benefit those who wouldn't want a larger Echo or wouldn't want to pay a higher price for it. It seemed like the Dots were on sale everywhere from Thanksgiving through Christmas (and beyond). I still wasn't interested, but when Best Buy did a daily deal on a Ring Pro + Chime that also included a free Dot, I bit on the Ring deal (but still wasn't interested in the Dot). However, once I got everything hooked up, my wife wanted to put the Dot in our bedroom for music and to be able to access some of the features we love about the Echo that sits in our kitchen. Plus, where the Dot can be linked to the Ring Pro doorbell, it is nice to be able to have Alexa notify us verbally of a door event. Within moments of getting the Dot set up, my wife was thrilled...and I was impressed. The Dot doesn't produce the power of the original Echo speaker-wise, but the Dot isn't trying to be an Echo. The Dot does, however, produce very good sound--much better, stronger, and clear than I anticipated. For its size, I am pretty amazed. My wife loves the ability to utilize the alarm, timer, and shopping list features (all without needing to head to the kitchen). Plus, learning that the Dot can be linked to the Echo, there is now an ability to get closer to a "whole home" speaker system experience. In fact, I purchased a third Dot a few days later for this very option. Add to all of this support for Apple Music (our preferred music provider), which (for us) was a thrilling development. The Dot isn't the unnecessary novelty I figured it would be (although it may still be a novelty). It has become a very happy addition to our home.

After using it for some time, I’m really impressed with its performance, sound quality, and smart capabilities. Sound Quality: The sound quality of the 3rd Gen Echo Dot is noticeably better than its predecessors. Despite its compact size, it delivers enough volume to fill a medium-sized room. The bass is fuller, and the overall sound is more balanced, making it a pleasure to listen to music, podcasts, or even conduct conference calls. Alexa’s Smart Features: Alexa's voice recognition is remarkably accurate, easily responding to a wide range of commands. Whether you’re controlling smart home devices, setting reminders, checking the weather, or playing music, Alexa responds quickly. It also integrates well with numerous third-party apps, making it a versatile tool in daily life. The only minor issue is that it sometimes struggles with background noise or certain accents, but this is a rare occurrence. Design & Aesthetics: The Echo Dot has a sleek, minimalist design that fits well in any room. The Charcoal color is particularly stylish and blends seamlessly with most home décor. Its small footprint means it can easily be placed on a nightstand, desk, or bookshelf without taking up much space.

Took a while to set it up, got a but annoyed and kind of gave up.

This echo dot is very easy to set up. It's flat and not very big which helps it blend in with the surrounding decorations in your office or house. The sound quality is very good and can be heard easily from the next room. Very easy to set up and connect with other devices.

The 3rd gen Echo Dot Alexa Smart Speaker is a product of which I was somewhat skeptical at first, especially as it was my first time owning a so-called 'smart speaker' and I wasn't sure what to expect. However, after months of using this Echo Dot, I find it to be one of the most useful electronic devices I own and use to this date, and my daily routine now includes asking the assistant Alexa at least once to complete useful tasks, such as setting an alarm for me or playing a genre of music I like. When paired with another Amazon ecosystem product such as a smart plug or a Fire TV, the usefulness of the smart speaker is even more noticeable as I can ask Alexa to set a routine to turn on or off my lights at specific times (which are connected to the smart plug), and ask it to turn on/off the TV if I can't find my remote. All in all, this smart speaker is a very useful product that I can't find myself living without these days after becoming used to it.

These speakers work well for anazon prime music and with amazon alexa. I got 2 of these on sale as a gift for my mother in law to go with her older one i got her last year. She uses her first one so often in her kitchen i got these to set up in her bedroom and living room. They connected without an issue to her network via the alexa app and setting up a home group or different listening groups is very easy. Right niw i have hers all independent, but she can just click on a setting in the app and walk from one room to another and have same song at the same spot. Overall does what we expected it to do, and likeky we are underutilizing all the features. That being said the sound is good, and these are very affordable, good value.

It is so Easy to set up and I use it every morning as an alarm. It sounds good and it has a good volume adjustment
