    Where have you been all my life? This is a great product to have in every home. I love it for setting alarms, requesting different songs and a bedtime sound machine.

    The Amazon Echo Dot 3rd Gen was part of a purchase for a Ring Video Doorbell. It was a promo included with the purchase. At first I wasn't sure that I would use it but found out after install that is is very useful. Set up with the Alexa APP was simple and quick. So far I have asked Alexa several questions with quick and accurate response as well as using the alarm and asking Alexa to play music. No more looking up on the internet if I need a quick answer to a question or as simple as checking the temperature. I might consider a second purchase in the future.

    I got this as a gift for myself that came with the smart light bulb just to see how these things work. It was pretty easy to setup and not to hard to get the bulb to work by telling the dot to turn on/off the light and change the colors of the bulb light. The dot is small so you can place it just about anywhere. The sound quality isn't really good but you can understand what the dot is saying ok. It does more things than I was expecting. I was replacing the invoke which had excellent sound in comparison to the dot. The Invoke was discontinued so I need to replace it with another smart speaker and the Echo dot seems to work much better and is smarter than the Invoke but doesn't sound as good. I will probably buy a larger Echo at sometime.

    Sound quality is the best I've heard on a speaker of this size!!! Definitely worth paying a little extra for this one over the 2nd generation model. I'm not going to discuss the functionality as there's tons of info already out there. One important note: If you set up the Alexa app on your phone, IT WILL IMPORT ALL OF YOUR PHONE CONTACTS. I didn't think I gave it permission to do so but Alexa did indeed import my contacts! You may have read stories how, WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE, Alexa can record what's being said in your home and then send it to ANY or ALL of those contacts! Yikes! And, I won't want any of my kids to accidentally send messages to or call people on my contact list. So, if you want to keep your contacts from Alexa and prevent that from happening here's how I did it: Before installiing the Alexa app on your phone, export your contacts to a file and save it for later. Then, go back to the phone and delete those contacts (don't worry, you'll import them back in later). Now, install the Alexa app on your phone and go through the set up process. At some point, you'll have the option to allow Alexa to automatically import any additions to your contacts. Please "disable" that option. After you're done with the installation, you'll notice there are no contacts in your Alexa app! Now, you can import your contacts back into your phonebook using the file that you initially created and you're good to go! If you already installed the app but want to delete your contacts from Alexa, it's not too late. Simply export your phone contacts to a file and save for later. Then, delete the contacts from your phone. Now, open the Alexa app and click "Contacts." On the Contacts page, click on "Import Contacts" and enable it by moving the button to the right side. This will cause Alexa to replace your existing contacts with the now empty phonebook. After a few minutes, your Alexa contacts will be gone. Go back and disable "Import Contacts" to prevent Alexa from importing them in the future. You can now import the contact file that you created back into your phone. Of course there may be some contacts you do want to use with Alexa. I simply added them manually by clicking "Add Contact." I hope this info is helpful as I wasn't able to find an easy way to manage Alexa contacts.

    It syncs with my Echo and plays when they play if I want it. It's small but packs a good punch and great for a small space or room. It's simply an incredible device.

    The Echo dot is a great first smart speaker. It’s a perfect size to tuck away and still have it respond to your requests. It also works great with a smart plug.

    I like the duel speakers while playing music. Fairly easy to set up. A little frustrating on tweaking the settings just right, but I’m no geek.
