    Never thought I would actually enjoy having this - but we use it to listen to music all the time. Sounds is quality is pretty darn good too!

    I bought a 3 piece EERO WiFi system just because I needed it (rather, a freelance client of mine that leans on me to install gadgets for him). I didn’t even know this was offered as a giveaway, I didn’t know the original price or the generation, but I was able to gift it and delight somebody’s day (my client would never use it. And I already have google assistants scattered throughout the house). So kudos to Best Buy for providing good deals and incentives during these trying times. May they prosper long after this pandemic.

    We purchased the Echo Dot to be able to have enjoyable music on our patio. We were unable to find waterproof speakers. This turned out to work great.

    Not a fan of Alexa but my 7 year old loves it. He plays music and plays with all the things it can do. Also like the fact he can call me using the echo dot.

    I have four Echo devices in my home. I just purchased an Echo 3rd Gen for my den. I set it up to interface with my stereo amplifier via the Alexa interface.

    Excellent. The sound on these is more than enough for average radio or music listening. I can't wait for a sale again to buy another two or three.

    We recently acquired devices to make our house a SMART HOME. Devices respond to ALEXA, so this device was perfect.

    Wake words are complicated

    I've had trouble setting this up in in my kitchen, which is connected to my living room which has a fire TV cube. The reason this was complicated is because they sometimes compete to listen to my voice. If I set them in the same room, then the fire TV cube cannot control my TV volume, only controls my echo volume. If I set them in different rooms, then I have to use different wake words so I activate the specific one I want. The product itself is quite useful, but I have to change settings every once in a while to try to get it exactly how I need it to be.

    The 3rd gen speaker does have noticeably better sound quality over previous generations. It’s still a great entry level into smart assistants.

    Bought two Echo Dots. They are easy to set up and use and I enjoy all their features and capabilities. However, the speaker went bad on one of mine within a month. Fortunately, Best Buy gave me a full refund. But now they are back ordered and I can’t get a replacement anytime soon.
