    Easy to set up and use. The quality of music and sound is very good. It's a very good gift that can be used in a variety of settings, wherever there is an Internet connection.

    Besides telling jokes and ordering products on Amazon, the Echo Dot makes a great smart home hub. Alexa has no issues with my voice or even my wife's, who has a slight accent. Using the Dot, I control multiple light switches with it through my voice and integrations with the skills. My wife also likes to check the weather before venturing out for the day. With two of these we have also set up an intercom between rooms. The only negative side is registering the device with a single account, instead of allowing multiple accounts use on the device with unlock pass codes. I recommend the Echo Dot for anyone with Amazon Prime or those setting up smart devices in their home.

    Works very well. Picks up voice from a good distance. Easy to connect and use. Sometimes it gets difficult for it to pick up voice while it's also producing audio.

    This suprised me with the simplicity and ease of set up. The device works well and the speaker is of good sound quality considering how small it is. I think it sounds as good as my JBL Flip 3.

    The 3rd Gen Echo Dot provides much better sound quality than my 1st Gen Dot. Earlier versions did not have the quality of sound or volume as this 3rd Gen does. Glad I updated,

    Extremely easy set-up and surprisingly great sound. The design in simple and compelling. The only complaint I have is that Alexa can be pretty dumb sometimes, but as she listens in more often she should improve.

    This is the best Echo dot

    I bought this new Echo Dot with the digital clock on it to replace my generation one echo dot basically because of the clock on it. That was by far the best move by Amazon and the sound quality is very good. When asking Alexa the temperature outside, she also displays the temperature and when you ask here to turn the volume to a number, that shows too. I noticed there’s been some comments on how to make the display brighter. You have to go into your Alexa app and go to your device and you can set the brightness through that feature in the display feature. Now that I have a clock on this Echo Dot, I use it for an alarm now. Also takes up little space on the nightstand and looks great. I’m very pleased with this product.

    I wanted to add Alexa to my house - I had one of the original Echo Dots and used it sparingly. I'll admit that I wasn't nuts about the always-on listening device. But I took a stab and ordered one of these and am very pleased with the purchase. The sound quality is much better than the first generation, and it definitely meets my requirement to play podcasts and have them sound "not tinny". The fact that Alexa can integrate a skill that links to Apple music is a definitely plus too. Bottom line, if you don't mind (or can get over) the constant "listening in" and are a member of the Amazon ecosystem, this is a great device for the cost.

    I was blown away on how loud and clear this little speaker is. Of course you won’t get deep bass, but it’s still nice and is able to pick up your voice from across the room.
