    I'm using the Echo Dot to manage music and some lights in my living room. It plays music and answers questions. Works very well.

    Excellent little Smart Speaker. It came as a free item with the purchase of a RING product. Gave it to my son who keeps it on his desk in his bedroom. Very easy to use, quite handy, and decent sound for a small room. He is enjoying it!

    Great Hub for the Smart Home

    I got this Dot device as the centerpiece of my smart home setup, and as a first time user of these voice assistants, I was really impressed. It does all the things you'd expect -- answering questions, setting timers and reminders, giving you weather info, etc. But linked to a Prime account, it also plays music on demand, perfect for those times when you just want to hear that one song. As a hub, it easily linked my Emerson Sensi thermostat, wifi lightbulbs, Sonos beam, and Wyze cameras (though as it doesn't have a display, it's unable to show actual footage). The sound quality is surprisingly good -- it really does fill the room with sound, and even has the (light) thumping of a subwoofer. I would consider getting multiple for different rooms in the house, to use as an intercom system but also an all-over sound system.

    My origanal Echo dots started to go bad.(I got a lot of use out of them). The 3rd generations were on sale. A little bit larger and a way better speaker. Great Christmas present also for those just starting to use the Alexa products

    Without a doubt - it's quite an impressive creature. It's not pefect...but no tech is perfect... and I love tech. So... Amazon added whisper mode today. Experiencing that today - was one of those very special "wow" moments.... I called my friends to try out that new feature...and they all love it. It does much more than I expected. For quite a while I waited, as I thought "I have my iPhone and Siri...why do I need Alexa?" Well, I love my iPhone... and am still very happy I now have an echo dot. I don't have any complaints- just look forward to the continued advancements Amazon's Echo team is making with the device. The quality of the device is excellent - and the sound it puts out- for its size... really impressive. Sure.... But is it fun and convenient to have.... absolutely. Very glad I finally got one!

    The Echo Dot (3rd Gen) is definitely a significant improvement tot he two earlier iterations of the Echo Dot family. The sound is louder and crisper, Alexa voice recognition and response is better, and the 3rd Gen Dot definitely, definitely looks way cooler than the earlier versions.

    Was skeptical at first but than found out what you can connect with alexa. Hooked up all our lights In house with WiFi switches. Easy connect for radio or music. Tell Alexa to purchase things from amazon. Make shopping list, adjust thermostat.

    I absolutely adore this product. At night I ask Alexa to play Ocean Sounds and now I can’t sleep without it. I’m not sure if you’re worried that it won’t be loud enough because she goes pretty loud and she knows a chain of commands

    Just hooked up this bad boy to my network and am enjoying listening to music or turning off my fan, tv or lights with voice control. I just picked up a second one during black Friday and can ask Alex conversion amounts in the kitchen.

    We got this for free with the purchase of a fire tv. It’s one of those things I didn’t know I needed until I got one. We love it. We have since gotten a few more. Switch out a few lightbulbs in your house to Bluetooth smart bulbs and you can control them with your voice. It’s very nice in rooms where the lights or lamps aren’t easy to get to. We can be sitting on the couch and tell Alexa to turn on living room lights and she will cut on all the lamps in the living room or we can be specific and tell her which particular lamp we want cut on. We can leave them on until we get to the top of the stairs headed to bed and tell her to cut off living room lights instead of fumbling our way in the dark. We also have it setup to play our Apple Music.

    I am a single mom and this a great tool for me. I can yell at Alexia and tell her to add items to my shopping list when I am cooking, etc. I can tell her to play music or turn my lights on and off if needed if I get in too much of a hurry or my hands are full.

    Easy setup and simple use. I like that Alexa needs few words to understand commands. Not once have I been told “sorry I don’t know how to help with that” as other assistants have problems. Good speaker and sound for its size and price!

    Small size with a good sound quality. Easy to set up. I bought two for setting a paired stereo system for my fire tv stick. It can also be connected to my mobile via Bluetooth. Just one disadvantage that it must work in the internet environment. Otherwise, Alexa will not be functioning.

    I was looking for a speaker for my garage and at first I wanted something bigger but then I saw this on sale and decided to give it a try. Good move on my part. Sounds great in the garage. I also put a range extender in my garage so there are no connectivity issues.

    I got this free one Christmas when I ordered two Echo Show devices. I got two free and I put one at my bedside and one in the bathroom. I listen to TuneIn radio when I get up. It picks up a local live radio station. I enjoy hearing the weather. It flashes yellow when an Amazon order is coming in too. It flashes yellow and warns me about bad weather coming up. We can make announcements all over the house using the iPhone or iPad. You speak into the Alexa app in communications and it will announce what you say immediately. It sends a transcript of your announcement to your phone app too. Sometimes the transcript is wrong and it’s funny itself what it says you spoke! One day I was sitting on the front porch and I announced using Alexa that there was a double rainbow outside after a rain shower. Everyone came outside to look. It is so handy!
