    It was a present for my parents, and they loved it, they enjoy listening to music and changing the station just by saying “Alexa”. Was easy to set up. I just wish it had an internal battery so I would have to have it connected all the time.

    Very easy to set-up. I was undecided if I should get the 4th gen or this 3rd gen. Since the speaker power was the same for both, I decided to go for this 3rd gen and it works perfect. Very responsive to voice commands.

    Really like my Echo Dot. What I like most about it is the fact that I can play music upstairs and downstairs in my living room. The quality of the sound is really good. I originally bought two for myself and I went back and bought two for my mother. I’m a fan!!!

    This is my second Echo Dot. Easy to set up, easy to use. I love that I can connect the two so i have music in "stereo"! Its great going from one part of my house to the other, never missing a beat.

    I am very happy with this purchase. I like the style, the sound, being able to connect several echoes together, and the extra possibilities to set up a smart home, and at an affordable price. I bought three, and would like to buy more for gifts.

    I purchased this for exactly what it does which is provide an ability to have something small and portable when traveling. The sound quality is good, especially for the price, and it is a better option than wearing headphones all the time.

    Comes in handy with reflecting your television’s surround. Sort of trying to get a surround sound effect. Of course without the deep bass effect. Nevertheless, still a great product.

    This echo dot, is both fun and functional. I have learned quite a few new things. It has everything. You can ask for music. To turn on or off your lights. You can even ask it to tell you a joke. Such a clever little thing.

    This Echo Dot is really easy to set up, and it's very convenient to use for setting timers, controlling smart light bulbs, and other handy "skills". The sound quality for music isn't bad, either. It's easy to add multiple devices to the same network. Yeah ... this is the 3rd Gen (the 4th Gen is out now), but it works just as well and tucks discretely out of the way.

    I was fortunate enough to buy two of these when they were on sale. I love the Echo Dot. Just plug it in and tell Alexa to search for new devices. It’s that easy. I do wish you had an equalizer on it to adjust frequencies of the music that plays through it. At times it seems a little muffled, but overall it has good sound. I’ve been putting Alexa through the test and asking all kinds of weird questions to see what the answers are. It’s a lot of fun. Great for operating smart devices. It provides my news, my music, acts as my alarm, and reminds me things I need to do or buy, plus. so much more. It’s like having my own personal assistant in one little tiny device. If it only sounded like Alicia Vikander, I’d be extremely thrilled.

    I had 3 all ready and bought another one for my carport. I love these. I have them throughout my home and use them from playing music to setting alarms to reminding myself to check if dinner is done cooking.

    Part of the Amazon Alexa family. It's small and has decent sound for a small room. It does need to be plugged into an outlet in order to work.

    This is a great smart home speaker, if you are willing to invest in the switches, sockets, and other accessories. I love being able to turn on the lights outside just by speaking. Otherwise the speaker is good enough for light music.

    Got this free with a purchase of a tv. Its a great item. It learns your taste as you use it. The only down fall is that it only connects to one account at a time. So you will have to log out and in if you want to change accounts

    Plugged in the Echo Dot, downloaded the app, not much set up and I was off and running. I use it mostly for IHeart Radio and the weather. If you want to have fun, ask Alexa "who's the leader of the club that's made for you and me." I had to laugh.

    I bought this for my visually disabled grandfather and it is perfect for what he needed it for. Alexa reads all his Kindle books to him, tells him the weather, the sound quality is pretty good for a speaker this size.

    I have multiple Alexa products and this one was part of a package deal. The size is great and it works as the rest of the Alexa products work so the house is a little more connected. I would have paid for this product...well worth the 30 bucks they're asking
