Amazon - Echo Dot (3rd Gen) - Smart Speaker with Alexa - Charcoal is good looking and of high quality. Works great for smaller areas that you would like to have a digital assistant. Very easy setup from the Alexa APP.

Excellent sound So easy to use Easy setup We love having Alexa around

I've had a gen 2 Echo for about a year. I thought about getting a Dot a long time ago. But the gen 2 Dot's sound quality was tinny and not anything close to the sound quality of an Echo, and Amazon acknowledged that readily. But the new gen 3 Dot has completely revamped the sound quality. At the lower and middle volume levels (up to about level 7 on a 10 level volume system) the sound is as good as an Echo. At the top loudness levels it distorts somewhat and is not quite as good as an Echo. But I never ramp the Dot's up that loud. The Dot sound is as good as an Echo's now, and it's 1/4 to 1/3 the price. I picked up one to try out at home. It was so great that I purchased 4 more immediately. They are throughout the house and one in the garage. The quality and sound capabilities and physical design of this gen 3 Dot is a real game changer.

Impressed with how well is understands what everybody is saying, regardless of who is speaking in my house. Super easy to set up and very clear sound when playing music too! I'm not sure what the difference are between the 3rd gen and the older ones, but so far this has worked pretty flawlessly for our needs.

I am amazed at the sound quality of these little dots. The price just can't be beat. Having Alexa to assist in so many things is very convenient from turning on and off lights and music to giving me weather and news updates. I bought 3 so I could hear my music or news or a book on tape throughout the house. Very satisfied with this purchase.

I don't have to reach across the bed to turn on my lamp in the middle of the night when I get up. Now I just say Echo turn on my lamp. When I get back in bed its Echo turn off my lamp. No hassel just go right to sleep. Was not to love. And if I forgot to set my alarm all I do is close my eyes, and say Echo set my alarm for 6:30 am. I love it !!!!!!

This is my 5th Amazon Echo device, the first one of the 3rd generation Echo Spot (I have the Gen1 & Gen2 already). This one is slightly larger but smoother on the aesthetics with more rounded edges than previous models. The voice recognition is slightly improved in a "noisy" environment and functions perfectly for recognizing commands and executing scenes within the house.

We got three of these at the same time we purchased the Echo Studio. They were on sale and even came with a cool smart bulb free with purchase at the time. LOVE THEM!!! Like to pair up the speakers and listen all through the house. Easy set up and having a blast using them!

An Alexa is always a great thing to have especially when you have other devices to pair it with. My Alexa came with a smart led light bulb and admittedly its not the brightest but having the ability to control the lights with just the sound of my voice is incredible.

Sleek design, works really well, easy setup, fantastic voice recognition.

took some getting use to but now I have 3. they are in a majority of my rooms. The one in the bedroom turns on the lamp and I can ask it to turn on the insignia fire tv. especially with "Alexa turn on tv and open Netflix." we are working with other command such as pausing the show. The one in the bathroom I mostly use to play music or ask "Alexa what time is it?"

Alexa is easy to use. It retrieves most music requested. Great price.

The Amazon Echo Dot has been the perfect addition to our Echo hub! We have it in the master bedroom and use it for our alarm, for sleep sounds at night, and for playing music when we get ready for work in the mornings. It has also been very handy to use as an intercom from the kitchen to the bedroom!

Perfect size, easy to use, and just as good as the larger version!

In my opinion the Amazon Echo Dots or any of these small smart devices are the best bang for the buck, and these 3rd gen units have better speakers and a bit more bass than the 2nd gen ones, the cloth covering is also a bit classier! Have about five Echo Dots thru my house and they make life easier with the recent mini explosion of smart home devices!

Amazing speaker! Great for small rooms and using for lists and alarms!

Great quality good sound looks great. Easy to use for the family

They all work just fine. Alexa can be kind of dense at times but she's polite. I bought some Echobees that had Alexa built in. She didn't work correctly but that was Echobee's fault. A software update fixed that. At this point, if I address Alexa in one spot in my house she answers three places, the hallway thermostat, the kitchen, and a near bedroom. There is such a thing as having too many of these! Also I have one in the garage on a thermostat. Works pretty good, will play music and other stuff. None of them are definitely audiophile-quality in terms of sound. However, I'm old with some hearing limitations and I can use them just fine. My wife uses level 5, but I have to always back it down to level four volume. Not Alexa's fault. The one in our kitchen is above the cabinets over the sink. Sometimes I have to yell at her to get her attention (my wife too), particularly if there's any other noise. However even dictating this she answered several times from 30'. So, she hears better when it's quiet (Again, like my wife). Perhaps Alexa is getting old too? Bottom line she's sweet when I say goodnight, not necessarily the same as my wife. :-)

I bought this finally giving in to get a voice activated speaker in the house. It has been great to listen to tons of music to. The volume and bass are great. It is small and I love the fact that I can turn the speaker off when I don't want to use it. I can listen to the latest songs without having to physically change the station. Loving this!

I purchased the new Dot for my friend, and neither of us was disappointed. This has all of the same functionality as other Dots but looks and sounds better. The addition of the fabric around the speaker and the rounding of the edges has given this a much better, modern look than the other generations. And it sounds better too. 10/10 would recommend!
