    This is an amazing little smart HUB. Great to put in a kitchen or any room to just have around and play music or ask it questions when you need a quick answer to something. Being able to control all your smart home technologies is a huge plus too.

    Enjoy music, being able to shut off your lights, programming your wake up call y just giving voice commands. I originally got it as a gift for my daughter but I thought it was so useful that I got one for the whole family.

    Came as a free item with purchase of Ring doorbell. Worked well in the limited time I used it. I just don't need a device constantly monitoring the room for commands. But easily fooled by TV whenever a commercial or show says Alexa.

    Amazon Alexa is doing a good job in controlling our smart switches. Alexa is always ready to answer any questions you may have. We have had Alexa for about 10 months. We bought it during a sale so got a good price at Best Buy.

    I had one for several years and it just stopped working. I wanted a replacement. Its great to play music, get weather. I also wanted something to get instant answers to questions like what time is a store open until.

    I love everything about the 3rd generation echo dot. The overall quality is excellent. I can't believe all the things you can do with the dot considering its very affordable price. One of the best values you will find.

    I didn’t think I would like something like this. I’ve been avoiding these devices for years and now that I finally have one my house is totally smart with Alexa. There are so many things I can do with this and the Alexa app. I am happy I bought it.

    I enjoy having my echo in my vanity so I can use spotify handsfree while getting ready in the morning. The speaker is much better than the 2nd gen and it looks really nice! It has a find my phone feature and I can call my other amazon alexa devices in my home

    This was a bonus to the Fire TV I purchased. I have the tower, so now I have 2 of these things in my home. Whenever a commercial comes on talking about Alex, they would wake up - so I changed the names. I am 65 years old so not really used to this technology. I found that it does replace me tuning to a radio station when I want to listen to music. It's not something I would go out and purchase myself.

    Plays music from my Amazon Music account. Plays iHeart, Spotify, and others as well. The sound is very good for such a small speaker. We use it to create a shopping list too. Great value!!

    Learning more and more about using the smart home features, have lamps connected, garage door opener connected. Next will be the thermostat. Got an Echo Show 5, will probably send one to some of the family so we can see how old we've gotten, LOL!

    Great sounding speaker for the price, cheap enough to put anywhere/everywhere and not worry about it getting ruined and/or breaking. I already have a few of these and got this to replace gen, those didn't sound as good.

    I use this mainly to turn on my lights and not much else. Sometimes I have it play music, check the weather, make simple calculations, or whatever; but I mostly naturally do that on my phone anyway. Works great.

    This inexpensive device is easy to use and has lots of power. Set up was easy and within 15 minutes I was using this device to play music, look up facts and provide weather conditions. Still have yet to connect to devices to allow for verbal command control

    Perfect addition to our home. Its so much easier to just speak to alexa and ask her literally whatever we want! "Whats the weather?" "What time is the Dallas Game?" "Tell me a recipe for chicken stir fry" She literally can answer it all!
