    Love how I can connect my music accounts and then ask Alexa to play something from my music. Sometimes she is a bit slow to respond to commands; I sometimes wonder if I need to repeat my commands. She eventually responds. Love how I can listen in on my pups at anytime to see if they are doing well. Big Brother is listening!!

    Better sound than the older version. Design and looks quite better as well . There's not much appealing in terms of functionality of it as far as the amazon echo dot capability. One good thing about it is I got it on sale so no regrets. Just an addition to many dots that I already owned scattered inside my home .

    Compared to the 2nd Gen Echo the 3rd Gen is a major improvement. Better microphone & speaker. Also the 3rd Gen matches the other current Echo’s with the cloth fabric over the speaker.

    If you are like me and you'd like better sound quality than the small speaker in this puck-sized device (not that it sounds terrible), you can easily hook this up to a receiver or amplifier with a Y-splitter style RCA cable (it has a standard headphone plug on one end and the red and white RCA jacks on the other). This works perfectly, you just have to coordinate the volume between the device and your receiver or amplifier.

    Echo dot is a very cool device. I love how easy it is to use. Its also very helpful and versatile. We can answer homework questions, get woken up in the morning by the alarm and play music. It also has hilarious witty answers when my kids ask silly questions. It is a super cool device and we highly recommend it. We liked it so much after trying it I purchased one for each room.

    I have an Echo that covers my livingroom dining room and kitchen area if my house. I got this Echo Dot as an add on to some Hue products I bought from BBY right after Christmas. I have it paired to a soundbar in my bedroom which works great. I can now play music through my sound bar using Alexa and can use this dot to control my other smart devices from my bedroom. The speaker definately isn't as powerful as the Echo but it is still plenty powerful enough for me to speak to and hear responses from my connected bathroom or closet. It was a great way to extend Alexa into another room and I may pick up another one of these for my guest bedroom.

    I LOVE THIS DEVICE ! This was my third Echo device (my second 3rd generation Echo) I received this Echo Dot (3rd Gen) as a free gift when I ordered my son's Fire TV and passed it on to him as well. My family enjoys them. We use it to play music, ask questions about the weather and local/national events, timers/alarms, making calls and sending messages, and controlling other devices, he has even added smart lighting and smart plugs to his room. Couldn't be happier!

    Alexa is such a must have, to be honest! Its so cool all the things you can do with her, as long as you're connected to wifi. She will always be the best assistant I can have, I got several of them and have them around the house just in case I need an instant speaker! So so so cool, dont doubt in buying her!! *Best Buy College Crew members receive products to write honest, unbiased reviews.

    Speaker and looks are much better than the gen 2. Can be paired to a ring security system and doorbell which is cool and can act as a door chime for the doorbell. Easy to setup.
