    Being able to tell Alexa to play my music, turn my lights on and off, add to my shopping list, adjust the temperature of my house, etc. is such a great thing! I really like having the ability to do this with a simple spoken command.

    The size of the echo dot makes it easy to place anywhere in a room however the cord sticks out very noticeably. The microphones work very well. I was really surprised how well the microphones registered voice commands even 15 feet away while speaking normally. For the size, the quality of the speakers are what you would expect. Its size and how easily it picks up what you say make it perfect for adding smart home voice controls to any room.

    Me and my husband absolutely love this echo, we bought three, connected all of them via Bluetooth and we use them as speakers for around the house or we use them by themselves. Plus, they sound fantastic, a good upgrade if you want to change your echo dot 2nd gen.

    Picking up a 3rd generation echo dot for under $30 is a no brainer. The smart function, easy of use and control of other smart home devices led me to Anazons Alexa. Purchased several for different rooms and the audio quality is excellent for such a small speaker.

    I bought 3 of these Echo Dot's. I have mine at my desk while I am working and it is so nice to have it there. I can listen to any uplifting songs and artists that I like. Would highly recommend getting one...or three!!

    I used my Dots in sync with my Blink doorbell so that I can hear the doorbell ring anywhere in the house. I then started using it to play music and give me reminders for different things.

    I purchased the Echo Dot to assist an elderly friend with vision problems. It has proved very helpful in assisting her with knowing dates and times as reading clocks and watches became impossible. She is enjoying music and asking informational questions.

    I use it primarily for playing music. I revel in the fact that I can be in the kitchen listening while preparing meals. It is a nifty little device that I recently purchased but now I wonder how I could have managed without.

    Hit or miss depending on use case

    Personally, I am fairly deeply immersed in the Google Assistant environment. I bought this for my parents, as they have an Amazon Fire TV Stick to stream live TV via Playstation Vue. For that use case, the Echo Dot works great, as you can easily link the Dot to the Fire TV Stick to tune to different channels on PS Vue, watch a certain movie on Prime Video, etc. I also like the Xbox integration, and the speaker's sound quality is pretty impressive on the new generation for how small it is. That being said, the Echo's capabilities can be limited in some areas. For example, shortly after I set the device up, the Dot's light ring began to glow orange. I didn't know what that meant, so I decided to experiment and ask the Echo. "Sorry, I don't understand" was the response from the Dot. I asked my Google Home the same question, and it listed what each color of the light ring on the Dot indicated. Sometimes it seems like the Dot can't even return an answer that only requires a simple internet search. The bottom line to me is- if you're integrated into Amazon's ecosystem, or there are specific skills that the Echo can perform that the Google Home devices can't, then I'd recommend the Echo Dot. For most people, I would lean toward the Google Home environment.

    The Amazon echo dot is a really great smart speaker. I have 3 of them so far throughout my house along with 2 Homepods. The echo dots are good for a bedroom and areas like that. The bigger speakers will be wanted in areas like your living room.

    I purchased this unit as a Secret Santa gift. After the person won it, I explained to them how the Alexa units work and how simple they tend to make life. She went off and bought one for each bedroom of her house (she loved it so much after using it for a week).

    Super fun to add items quickly to shopping list (and always have the list with me at the store since it's on my phone instead of leaving a paper list at home.) Easily play music, ask Alexa facts, weather... you name it.
