    This is one of the best items I have ever purchased for my family. It has helped us so much that I can’t believe it took me so long to to get this. The house is rather large, so it helps us contact each other without having to yell or use our phones to call each other. It helps with the time of day or what the weather looks like for the day before we go out. It helps with questions I have about multiple topics. We constantly play music on it. It’s an amazing item to have in your home. I would purchase again and recommend this item to everyone.

    I fall into the camp of I love my Alexa. if you start automating things in your house like I have then she becomes a valued assistant. Always nearby and ready to offer assistance. I got this one for my elderly mom. Now she always has music to listen to, the weather on demand and a backup means of communication in an emergency. I taught her to say "Alexa, call my son" so she doesn't even need to be near her phone should something happen and she needs help. For that alone she is worth it.

    These little speakers pack a punch. It picks up commands really well even if you are far. You can ask it what's the weather like for today and create alarms.

    Loud and Entertaining

    The Echo Dot (3rd Generation) is nice and loud, listens pretty well from across the room and has plenty of trick up its sleeves like playing trivia. The only grip I have is when using Bluetooth to connect to another speaker, the Echo Dot becomes a bit static, literally has the sound of a old static TV, while responding.

    Amazon echo dot 3rd gen.

    The new Dot is fantastic. It sounds a lot better, looks a lot better and is still as cheap as ever. There are no playful colours on offer, and you can no longer power it from a USB power bank, but these are minor quibbles and are somewhat offset by the fact you can use two Dots as a stereo pair and even add an Echo Sub for 2.1 sound

    The Echo was a great and affordable way to delve into the whole voice assistance thing. For a small device, the sound is great! Setup was super easy and no problems at all.

    We have three Echo's in our home and would hate to live without them. One is in our bedroom and mostly serves as an alarm clock and light switch. One in the garage controls the lights and is used to stream music to an external blue tooth speaker. The one in our great room is used to play background music. It has such great sound that our Bose is collecting dust most of the time. And of course it controls multiple lights and receptacles.

    This is such an improvement over 2nd Gen! The speaker seems almost as loud as my Echo and the design is much better. This is a great purchase or would be a good upgrade from a Gen 2

    Sounds good for the size and I can't complain about the price. It came free with a ring device. For those that are paranoid, you can mute the speaker with a physical button.
