    I bought one of these for my great-granddaughter and she loved it so much that I bought her another for her at my house and one for my bedroom and another for our second home. I love my Echo Dots!

    I use these in conjunction with my wink home automation setup and my Harman Kardon bluetooth speaker and really love how well it all works together. Alexa is great for the daily commands of turning my lights on and off, starting my truck, adjusting my smart thermostat, really the sky is the limit with this thing.

    Companies update their products almost every year with minimal difference. Amazon gave the 3rd gen echo dot a huge upgrade. This generation is so much louder with clear bass. Sound does not distort when at full volume. The new dot also responds and processes requests quicker. Great Product

    We have three of these. We've actually gotten them all for free through different special offers. For example, two of them we received when we bought our insignia TVs through best buy. They're really easy to set up and fun to play with. We also have a Google version, but we think this one is more fun. It communicates more realistically.

    I have had this device for almost a year and it is still going strong. I also bought some of the plugs and hooked lamps up to it and it is so convenient to just say “Alexa good night” and have them all go off at once.

    Enjoying this In my living room almost every night to listen to all kinds of music. The sound is not bad for such a small speaker. No more getting up to play some music. I know it can do so much more but I have not ventured in that yet.

    Nice upgrade

    I own a few older Echo dots. When it comes to sound quality they aren’t great and I have two of them connected to stereo receivers to play music via Alexa. This 3rd gen Dot is a definite step up in sound and I’m using it in a small room for music, etc. It’s not super high quality but it’s adequate for my needs.

    The Echo Dot has been a great addition to our home and easily recognizes my voice. I ask Alexa to play something from my playlist and she does easily. If you want a great sound, you will need a version with a better speaker or plug it into another speaker. I'm still learning a lot about it.

    Was hesitant to have a 'hot mike' in my home. However I enjoy my Echo Dot. Honestly I use for alarm, grocery list, music/podcast listening and weather. Should have purchased earlier.

    Much better speaker than 2nd Gen

    I have 4 echo dots and one echo show set up in my house. The dots were all 2nd Gen until I got this upgrade. The 3rd Gen speaker is miles ahead of the 2nd Gen. We were thinking about buying some full-sized echos or another show for better sound but this 3rd Gen is a much more affordable upgrade.

    Really Like the White Echo. Small and Compact, and good sound. It’s fun asking Alexa Questions, Playing Music and Talking to other Family Members either through Drop-in or simply Calling. Has many uses. You can even send message. Good for it’s price. Bought quite a few. For myself in each room, for Family and Friends. Everyone likes it too.

    Paired it with a smart plug.... No more problems with turning my AC on from anywhere in the house. Liked it so much I bought a second one for my bedroom. Sound quality when I play my Amazon music is good, but I would recommend the larger model if high quality sound for music is what you want.

    I love the idea that I just tell Alexa what i want to hear,example. Alexa, play up beat christian music, and from that point on, I got up beat music. I don't have to search. she does that for me. I have owned this for 1 and a half months, and its a great investment for me.

    I love my echo dot. I ended up getting two more. One for me and a family member. I can set reminders, alarm, make a check list, check package arrival, place an order from Amazon, music, news, weather and more. Having more than one I’m able to sync them together.

    Echo dot is easy to set up. It is functional and communication with Alexa is easy. The Geek Squad was able to assist me in connecting Alexa to other things in my home. It was a gift with purchase.
