    I have several of this smaller version speaker. They work very well. I have one I have set up for outdoors but leave indoors due to weather and just take out when I plan to use it. I also have several of the larger, taller version which I thick sound a little better but they are both great products. I enjoy the fact that you can have them all going at the same time and when you go from room to room there is music everywhere!!!

    Easy setup. Works well with tv and lights. Sometimes I have to give the same command a few times to get what I want, but other than that I have no complaints.

    Good little speaker. I also have the 4th gen. This is better than my 2nd, but not as much bass as my 4th. Small and does what I need it to do.

    I absolutely love my Alexa Echo Dot. It really makes everything so easy to control at home and I love the fact that I can turn off and turn on my lights using my voice. I’m excited to see what other products I can buy that I can sync with this. It’s also pretty cool to be able to wake up and ask Alexa for the news and the weather. I’m able to use it to listen to my favorite music and it’s actually really crisp and clear. Best bang for your buck!

    A great addition to our growing Alexa team, great sound in such a small package. We use this on our patio at night to listen to music and enjoy a drink with our fire pit.

    Somewhat disappointing 3rd gen

    Somewhat disappointed in the 3rd gen Echo Dot. The voice range intelligibility is muffled compared to the 2nd gen. This is the result of the internal speaker facing down with sound emitting thru the bottom edge of the unit. Consequently, you no longer need to wall mount the unit to help with the bass response. I should note that my primary use is not music. I will concede that this version has much better bass and more volume than the 2nd gen, but the highs are definitely muted. A larger internal speaker helps, but results in a larger case size. If you wish to wall or ceiling mount, you will need to buy a new mount.

    The profile is very nice and the speaker is clearer, compared to the 2nd gen Echo Dot unit I had previously. Interface to program/set preferences is done through either the phone or through the interface that can be accessed via computer. A good way to try out Amazon Echo Dot if you're looking to convert your home into a smart home! I also like that I got this with my watch purchase, so free is always better.

    Nice unit for the price. Doesn’t produce much bass but didnt expect much because of its size. If you have the 1st gen Dot this is a nice improvement.

    We already have the 1st generation Echo and happy with it. The Echo dot is compact and looks sleek in our bedroom. We use it to turn on the lamp and listen to music while getting ready for work or just relaxing. The speaker is “just okay” but you can’t really expect much due to the compact design. Overall you can’t go wrong at this price point! All Amazon customers should own this device.

    I love this! it was a present for my father for Christmas and it is a must! He uses it as a clock to tell him the time as well as to listen to music and ask other questions he has. He is not much of a techy person, but he utilizes it every day and really enjoys having accesses to the internet with this device. I would totally recommend this to my friends and family.

    I am still figuring out how practical this Alexa Dot is, but it certainly is a lot of fun, especially the smart speaker. I put this one in my office and will buy another soon as an alarm clock. I am an Amazon Prime member, but never took advantage of the free Amazon music until I bought this product. Alexa has a sense of humor. I look forward to the day when more machine learning is built into the product.

    I love this one! I have the first generation echo, which is kind of dying at this point, but the speaker in the third generation is amazing! It gets pretty loud! So I usually keep it on volume six, and that actually still feels louder than usual. This purchase came paired with a smart light bulb, and it is awesome! I love being able to tell Alexa to turn the light on.
