    These little gadgets have been amazing. Set them up in all of our bedrooms and living spaces. Helps avoid yelling throughout the house because we use drop in and announcements to talk to each other. The multi room music groups help keep the volume down upstairs when I’m cleaning because I can hear the same music synced in each room as I walk between them. Got my mom a couple and set up so if we can’t reach her we can drop in and make sure she’s okay without her needing to be able to reach a phone. I also gave one to my special needs niece and it helps keep her busy listening to music instead of waking my sister up at 4 am. Just be sure to disable the calling feature and also set so you can’t order things from it. Quality of the sound is as expected for this type of device, size, and price. The speaker isn’t as great as I’d like. And it’s not portable or rechargeable in the fact that is always has to be plugged in. Those last items are the only reason I give it a 4.

    Love the dot. It is loud and has very clear sound. I use the echo dot outside when using the BBQ and in the garage. It’s small and doesn’t take up space.

    Much better than Gen 2. Used to upgrade and much more bass and gets louder. Very clear. Didn't think it would be much different but it is. Would recommend.

    i was looking for an upgrade to replace my older digital alarm clock, and saw this on bestbuy.com and another site. did some research on the Echo Dot 3rd gen, and read good things about it. it was on sale on here so decided to purchase one. i'm very glad that i did. it's my first time actually using an Alexa product. i mainly use it as an alarm clock, and at times ask Alexa about the weather, or just to listen to the morning radio. the sound is clear and pretty loud for a puck sized radio with a fabric covering on it. she hears me pretty well when i am on the other side of my apartment. i definitely recommend this product to anyone that is in the market for an item like this.

    Neat Echo Dot

    My son introduced me to how the Echo Dot worked by having it turn on our Christmas tree by voice commands. Seemed pretty neat. As a result, I ordered 2 surge protectors which had outlets and USB ports that are voice controlled. By installing one of these next to my recliner, I can turn two lights on/off, two computer chargers on/off, and the four USB ports on/off. Since my den does not have an overhead light, is somewhat dark and the light switches are inconvenient, the Echo Dot make it easy to turn on lights when I enter the room or turn off when leaving. Especially nice when I have something in my hands. And it was easy to set up!

    Better sound than the original Dot. We use it on the patio for music and home automation. Looks better and is more solid than the original Dot. Works good .

    Alexa has been a member of our family now for almost 11 months. She has answers for us on demand. However her answers are not always the best. She has difficulty understanding things consistently. She is However a great remote control for our lighting.

    I love the new version of the echo dot. The sound is much much better and actually has a touch of bass. It connects easily and can pick up the activation word from across the room. Very handy

    I received one with each of the last 3 Toshiba Televisions I bought. I was not sure how they worked so I just gave one away and put the other two aside .... I saw really popular for Christmas so , I asked my son to set mine up for me... On Christmas .. I asked Alexa to play my favorite Christmas Song by the Temptations and she did so quick and then I asked for my favorite Artist Whitney's Christmas and it shuffled her Christmas Songs .. OMG... it was so hard to put my egg nog down and stop listening to go to bed for work the next day. I am so glad I got my son to set it up for me..

    This echo dot is great because it does so many things if you take advantage of all of its features. You can set your alarm in the morning, get news, play any song (with amazon music) and more!

    This speaker is not a party at home speaker. After volume 5 it starts to go flat on bass. It’s a good speaker to have spread around the house to give quick commands.
