    I’m amazed by how good this speaker sounds. It’s so small but sounds great in a bedroom. Perfect for us. Getting more for the other rooms in our home.

    So far it's been good. If you want better sound quality, you might want to upgrade or go with gen 4. I have customized it so much, makes me speechless. I also have one of those nifty little plugs, so I plug in my tree to it, and say "Alexia, Merry Christmas", and the tree comes on and the Echo Dot plays "Rockin Around the Christmas Tree". I also have a Roku, and I can tell it to turn on, and it turns on the TV and starts playing. I can turn on lights, including the close detached garage lights. I've got more to try, but just after a couple weeks, I'm impressed.

    We have three full size ones in the house, purchased this one to add to our home gym and it's great. Sound quality is surprisingly good considering how small it is.

    A nice addition to my theater room without taking up too much space. Still finding out more ways it can work (turning on lights, tv, and Xbox).

    Best buy for your buck. Have set it up in my office space and could not be any happier. If you're into listening to songs while working, this is a great addition to your office space. Add a few smart adapters and you can also control everything using Alexa voice commands. The sound quality is amazing and on par with some of the expensive speakers out there.

    I love my Alexa. I got one because I’m my room had to be setup with a smart light system. It’s super convenient to have an Alexa. I have a hard time waking up in the morning because I’m a night owl and every morning I set up a wake up light alarm where she turns on my lights on a dim setting and I’ve never had an issue with getting up on time no more! I got mine on sale for a great price around Black Friday so idk if I would have paid full price for it but I definitely love it for the price I did buy it for! Do not regret the purchase!

    I happen to think that the smaller size is much more pleasing to the eye and the aesthetic of the room. Beside, I have a great stereo system so I don’t need the bigger model.

    Compared to the Gen 2 Dot, the new Gen 3 looks and sounds better. I use mine primarily for music and it sounds great. Can also be paired with a Fire Stick for audio.

    Amazon Alexa Junkie

    That's right! I'm an Amazon Alexa Junkie. At first I wasn't to hip on the idea of Amazon Alexa devices. But then my girlfriend gave me an Alexa. Turned out that I was pretty impressed at what it could do. That's when I went crazy & put one in every room in my house & one in my shop building. I've also started turning my house into a Smart Home with the purchase of Smart Plugs, Smart Switches and 4K UHD Fire Stick. This 3rd generation Dot is the one you want to get. Don't even think about buying the 2nd generation Dot. For 5 bucks more you can get the 3rd generation Dot with a bigger speaker that will blow the 2nd generation Dot out of the water. PEACE!

    I haven't had the Echo Dot very long but so far it has been a great. The sound quality for a small speaker is good and using the Alexa feature has been simple.
