    This echo dot is so much better than the second gen echo dot because this one has better speakers. it sounds almost as good as the full echo device, minus the size. I love the small size because it can fit anywhere on your desk hidden from view to make it feel like your house is speaking to you like in sci fi movie lol.

    Great little product just to use an alarm clock, check the weather, or asking Alexa to play random sounds. Yeah, that’s all I really use it for. I ask it random questions to look up currency conversions or random facts to prove I’m right during discussions. Still a nifty and low-price product to have for the home.

    Very easy to set up. Convenient in size and doesn't attract attention. Use as a speaker in the room and the sound is pretty good.

    I replaced my 2nd Gen dot with this one and let me tell you the difference in sound is very noticeable. It is slightly larger than the 2nd Gen but the looks are so much better. These are perfect to have around the house and great for me since I have a 2 story home it makes it easier to communicate with my kids instead of yelling for them from downstairs.

    If you sign into your music streaming services it will automatically choose from them to play what you ask it to. Can be separate groups for separate rooms or areas of your home if you have several or they can all play the same thing simultaneously through the whole house. Not as full a range of sound as the full sized echo but for it's price point it's Awesome!

    Got this as a gift for my parents and works as expected. Now they can talk to Alexa and ask her about the weather, find their phone and Alexa can tell jokes to my nephew. Will eventually show them how to connect Alexa to their lights and other electronic devices.

    For the size, I was expecting a lower quality audio but this small speaker is great. The volume and sound coming out of it is actually good. You do have to speak louder if you're at a high volume but there is nothing I would change.

    This came as a free add-on buying a Ring doorbell. We own 5 echo products (2 homes) and love them. This one went to our workshop where my husband spends plenty of time. He uses it for music and we both use it for drop-Ins, which is like an intercom. Sometimes Alexa is smarter than Siri, and vice-versa. These products would blow my parents’ minds!

    The Echo Dot is great for controlling devices (Hue) and for answering simple questions, but this 3rd generation is fantastic when coupled with Spotify multi-room audio. Set the volume to about 6-7 and it is really fantastic for ambient music in your home. When you can find these often has cheap as $20, it is pretty easy to build a whole house system.

    I purchased this for my youngest son for Christmas and have been very pleased. He uses it as an alarm, to play music, to help search with his homework. It was easy to connect to our WI-FI and the sound is AMAZING. I have purchased an Echo Show 8 for our family room and can’t wait until it arrives. I highly recommend the Echo Dot

    This is a great speaker with voice recognition that allows you to ask questions and it will give you answers. You can also link it up to multiple devices to operate them. I have used the echoes for a while now and it has become a part of my routine at home.

    I was reluctant to get one of these and hook it up but it came free with my ring doorbell 2 so I decided to give it a whirl. And it is awesome I lost my phone in the house I asked her where it was and she called it no problem. And the grandkids come over and tell her to play all different music and she will play every single song they ask for they love it.

    Echo Dot Review

    The echo dot is pretty easy to set up. You can set up an alarm on the dot, ask for the time among many other tasks and skills. My favorite is being able to use the Bluetooth from your tablet and phone. If you have several echo dots you can play on the everywhere mode which will play on all the echo dots in your home at one time.

    My hair salon had one and I couldn't believe the sound quality so I purchased one. Love it, use it for music, to listen to books, alarms and reminders. I love the size. When I can't sleep I ask Alexa to play white noise or soothing music without getting out of bed. Works great would recommend.
