    I listen to the radio in my office at work. I got this because it was on sale and I have a 2nd generation Echo Dot at home. I love it. I set reminders in the morning so I stay on schedule. It’s so easy to change what I’m listening to.

    This is very nice! Besides answering questions and playing music (great little speaker for the size, are you sure this isn't Bose?!), I can now control lighting in the house, thermostat, the ring doorbell, etc.

    Alexa!

    I got this at a great price during the recent Black Friday sale. This is now my 3rd echo dot which I placed at the kitchen. Setting up was easy and syncing with the other smart home devices around the house was seamless too. The only drawback with Alexa is the ability to link up with different Spotify accounts (it can only be linked to one) and because of this limitation, you can only play music from one Spotify account at any single point in time. For example, if my wife plays music from the echo dot in the kitchen via Spotify, I cannot play music from Spotify on another echo at a different part of the house. I also cannot play Spotify from my phone without terminating the earlier playback since Spotify only allows you to play at a single source at any given point in time. If Alexa can allow multiple Spotify accounts (which many of us do with the family plan), this will be a 5 star rating!

    Echo Dot 3rd generation is an excellent product; plus, you can use them in multi-room music, which you cannot do with the new 4th generation (that is, if you have other 3rd generation devices too).

    I placed this in my garage so I can listen to music while I work on my cars but also so I can control various devices I have throughout my garage. Speaker itself plays loud and has good sound quality.

    I have one in every room of the house. Great for playing music as they work on group channels that will play all at once. The guard feature is a nice added extra for protection when away from home.

    The setup was a bit tedious through the app and it's not as loud as I hoped, but it is PERFECT for a little Alexa on your nightstand. Great for alarms, listening to books in bed, etc. I got it for $25, you can't beat it!

    Love this product. It comes with easy to understand set-up instructions. I live alone now so its like having a very efficient, intelligent, helpful and cleanly roommate. I use the " reminder" feature all the time. It helps me accomplish tasks that are easily turned ocf in my brain. A purchase which requires only speaking to the device. Win win!

    My son is always scare of the dark and he is always asking us to turn the lights on, Sometimes we are not always close to his room to help him. Now, he loves the fact that he can ask Alexa to turn the lights for him!
