    Had a 1st generation dot and the sound was always kind of tinny. The 3rd generation dot sounds much better. All Echoes (Alexa) are pretty basic on their setup and they do what they are advertised to do.

    The echo dot can do a lot—alarms, reminders, daily routines, play music, jokes and more. It’s like having a secretary in your home. I definitely recommend one because they have a low price,

    We have three different Echo devices (this dot, a 5, and an 8 inch Echo Show) and this one is great to just have in every room for Alexa access. The speaker is adequate (the Shows have more robust sound), and it hears you clearly. Sometimes it does think you're saying "Alexa" when you're actually saying something like "Well, let's go...", but that is more amusing than annoying. It's the cheapest way to get into the smart home game, and paired with the Alexa app, it's really easy to get started.

    I have two 2nd generation echo dots and really love the new speaker and thus the excellent sound the 3rd generation dot produces. Obviously it’s not the same quality as the top end echo but it is very good. Great function and sound for the price.

    We got this in a package with another product - we have a Google Home as well. Both devices work well for basic tasks; the Google Home is better at answering informational questions, while the Echo supports more "skills." For example, the Echo will control our thermostat and work with our doorbell, while Google Home will not. The sound on the Echo Dot is surprisingly good. Overall, it works as advertised.

    This is my second one of these. The best aspect of this generation compared to 2nd generation is the speaker. It is louder and clearer. The physical design also looks better with surrounding home decor. I"m pleased to own this.

    I'm going to get to the chase. This is the BEST speaker I've ever heard for under $50. The functions of the echo along with the music playing functionality and the sound quality makes it a steal at this price point.

    Installation was very easy. I was quite impressed with the quality of sound coming from it. I didn't expect perfection, but this exceeded my expectations. I love the fact that it takes up very little space as well.

    Gift for my boyfriend

    I got this as a gift for my boyfriend - who loves music and has every speaker and bluetooth device and headphones on the market - but no Alexa. I set it up for him, and now him and Alexa are unseperable.....not sure how I feel about this, However, when he told alexa he was lonely and needed to talk to someone, she automatically dialed me....so maybe she is smarter than I think! All jokes aside, great introduction to the Alexa collection. Next purchase, I think will be a full size, although the Dot has great audio and is considerably loud despite its small size. My boyfriend even mounted his on the wall, and I'm glad i was able to find something perfect for someone who has everything imaginable and is usually hard to shop for!

    Love it! We have one in each room of our house. Great for whole house speakers, yelling for the kids has stopped... now we just “drop in” to get them to come down or ask them a question. So many uses.

    After having a 1st gen, this is a nice upgrade in looks! Also very easy to set up. My 6 year old loves asking Alexa math questions and to tell him jokes! I look forward to adding NEST thermostat that I can control with this!

    As an addition to our Alexa family this Dot is great for entertaining. I can easily take it anywhere there’s a plug. The sound is very clear. Easy to use. Great outside or in the garage to listen to music or check on things.
