    The Echo Dot was a missing piece to my home automation puzzle. I had most of the items I needed but until I added the Echo Show and Echo Dot, I didn't realize the convenience of home automation. My smart home is now complete.

    Love it. We now have four located throughout the house and Alexa is very helpful in playing the music we like and answering some of our stupid questions. Think of the Saturday Night Live Skit where the "older folks" can't remember her name...

    I have the google mini to control my smart plugs and lights but usually find trouble every few days. With Alexa and the echo dot these problems are gone and plus Alexa is much friendlier and includes many more interactions!!!

    We are loving all our Echo Dots. We can control lights, thermostats, and locks, We can communicate easily between floors. Ask questions. Make calls. So many ways to use them, yet we’ve barely scratched the surface of what they can help us do.

    I purchased this Amazing echo dot gen 3 on sale for $25 o Black Friday. I already knew about the new echo dot when I bought this but wanted to save some money. I was going to purchase the Echo 2 when a family member suggested the 3 which is the new generation. The built-in speaker is not very loud for music and is really only good to hear Alexa assistant or talking in general. This is great however that it allows you to pair this with any Bluetooth speaker to send the audio to much better speakers. I am also using this with the 3.5 mm line out cable to hook this to my non-Bluetooth Sony alarm clock that is way too old to have built-in Bluetooth. I really like being able to send audio via Bluetooth to my sony sound bar by voice command! For the price, I paid though I think this is a good assistant to add to your smart home.

    I like it. It turns on my lamp shades with my voice. I don’t need to reach under the lamp anymore to turn it on or off. I also request to play music, ask for the weather, time, etc.

    I'm pretty sure I have not used this for nearly as many handy uses as I could...partly in not being completely for sure how to access all aspects of this! But for listening to music while cooking dinner it has been extremely nice!

    Alexa does what Alexa does well... Easy setup and great for every room. I use mine for turning on my lights in each room and asking the occasional question when in debates with friends. Lol

    For the money, this device is great. Its like having a high-tech dictionary, encyclopedia, thesaurus and mini-computer at the ready. Have several of these devices and all I can say is very happy with each of them.

    It’s a really fun product. You can do so many things with it like set up commands to have it tell you jokes. It also will set alarms, tell you the weather and you can drop in on other rooms in your house if you have one set up in other rooms.

    This is our 3rd echo dot that we have added to our home. I bought this for my son and he uses it for everything. It plays the radio station all night while he is asleep and will be using it for an alarm once school is back.

    We love our Echo Dots spread around the house. The missus still has issues remembering it controls most of the lights in the house and does all kinds of cool stuff. I use it constantly though! I could probably afford to learn more of the features though. Phone App does leave a little to be desired, takes forever for it to load up. But I assume that's because its trying to communicate with the Alexa devices in the house.

    This is a great speaker. It has great sound for the small size. I have it in my garage where I can listen to Sirius XM, local radio or my own playlists on my phone. Love having control over my smart home, too.
