    Love to ask Alexa the time and to set timers. Reminds me of appointments. I can intercom to the second floor when dinner is ready. I also find my phone with this device by asking it where my phone is and it calls it right away. Good sound comes out.

    This is a great little gadget, it is fun and functional. I know, it is first world problems when you are too lazy to reach for your iPad or laptop to ask Alexa a question. We probably don't use the Dot to its full potential or capacity, but for the small cost paid, I am fine. It is fun and functional...do it!

    I’m not usually an Alexa kind of guy. I’m more of a google assistant guy. Don’t have anything against it just prefer it. It’s compatible with my Samsung smart things products so it’s getting put to good use with my TVs and lights and other electronic devices I have set up through out the house.

    Sound is way more louder than the 2nd and I love it. I have to connect the 2nd Gen with a portable speaker to make it sound better but for the 3rd I don’t really need that speaker no more. And also respond faster. Overall, great experience. And last word, Best buy never disappoint me so far. Thanks.

    Alexa is always there to help. If you don't own one of these, or a variant, then I would highly recommend it. She'll help you with anything from the weather, to random questions, easily order stuff from amazon through her... You can even play jeopardy with her.

    I received the Amazon Echo Dot free with my tv purchase on Black Friday. This item has exceeded my expectations and I am mad I didn't purchase one sooner. I do not own many smart home devices but this Amazon Echo Dot makes me want to upgrade everything to be able to control them with my voice.

    I admit I don’t use this probably nearly as much as I could, but I still enjoy having it. If I’d strap down and focus on learning the commands, I could integrate so many other options, but alas I can’t find the time LOL. But it is still a great product and I enjoy it when I do dig around and mess.

    I use her every day I get home from work and it is amazing. She knows all the special tricks and things. She can even impersonate your celebrity crush with a bit of convincing. Highly recommend she is better than telling your kids to turn on and off things for you.

    Love the Dot and coming from a Microsoft user, that’s saying something!! I love the ability to set up my daily schedule, my grocery list, and various other tasks. The one fault that I found, was that this item came in several days after my TV was installed, but given the state of the union and the resurgence of the virus, wasn’t totally surprised. Which also says something about the Dot and it being user friendly.

    Great little inexpensive way to make my house "smart"er. Easy setup, highly functional--even my 88 year old dad has figured out how to use the Echos. They are a much simpler (and less expensive) manner to connect all your rooms instead of an intercom.

    Love the new ECHO Dot 3rd Gen. The sound is good for the size. I have this one in my daughters bathroom so she can voice control music while showering. Takes the fear out of her having her phone in there with wet hands away. Also you can link apple music to it.

    Never thought I needed an Echo, but got two as part of a promotion. It is so much fun to ask questions (don't have to search the Internet), play music, be notified when an Amazon package is delivered. I am sure there are probably other things I can do that I have not figured out yet, but it is fun.

    We added one of these to the front bedroom and one to the basement to make it easier to turn lights on/off & use as intercom between basement to main floor. Nice addition is now we can play music or whatever pretty much throughout the house, including the basement. Very easy to add to system.
