    Even though this is a previous gen it doesn't feel like. Sound was crisp and connectivity was easy. It can easily be tucked away or hidden from the view. Best investment for the price.

    I use it for some of my home automation and voice control devices. Got it during a deal so it is a good value. The sound is a little better than the gen 2 model. A little more bass and a little louder.

    I loved my second generation echo dots but the third generation ones really stepped up the volume. It understands what I'm saying 100% of the time even if the volume is loud. So much better than the Google Home Minis I have.

    Recieved our Echo as a freebie with a purchase. Thinking about getting another one!! Love how it helps with a busy lifestyle. Hands free is awesome. Doesn't take up much space and is user friendly for the whole family.

    I love my echo dots I have one in each room of my house and it makes it a lot easier to communicate with my children in other rooms rather than yelling for them across the house. It also has great sound quality. The only problem I have with it so far is that sometimes it freezes up and I can't get a response so I have to reset the whole device.

    I was pleasantly surprised at the sound quality. I have Alexa echo so I was skeptical about the dot. Well..the sound quality is really good. Perfect for smaller rooms. I received this one for free as a promotion.

    Received the echo with Ring doorbell cam as part of Xmas promotion bundle. If you are looking for a simple device that is discreet with a great speaker this is for you. You can access Alexa ..Spotify etc

    I have had an Alexa and Echo Dot since they were released. The problem with the dot was the lack of a speaker. The gen 3 now has the speaker included. This device is a good price point (often included free with other smart devices) for adding functionality to rooms around the house. You can extend your control of lights and devices and truly make your home a connected smart home.

    The sound is better. The fabric cover looks nice. The one problem is some auxiliary manufacturers have made devices like clocks that allow the dot to fit inside and work together, but they'll only connect with 2nd generation Dots. This third generation has eliminated that option. I wish Amazon would once again give their Dots the flexibility to work with more devices.

    The echo is great, it will play music based off what your interested in and adjusts to what you like. Pairing it with the smart plugs is great, makes it easy to just tell alexa to turn off the lights from different rooms.

    Have 3 of these through out the house and like being able to request information from any room. The sound and speaker quality has improved with this generation and it looks better than the earlier models.

    My family absolutely loves the convenience and the amount of variety of information you can get from the echo dot. In addition, it takes up very little space and has a great sound.
