    Love this echo dot. It comes in handy to keep in every room. It's easy to link to previous compatible devices in my home, such as the echo show. The kids love it! I love that I can use it as an intercom to communicate in whatever room it is in.

    Had the first generation, and enjoyed for years. This device has a lot more options and advantages. Their is not a day that we don’t use it for “question of the day” and reminders. ie. “Give dogs their pills at 9:00 am and pm each day, meetings, appointments, special occasions, etc.

    The echo dot 3rd generation is great because for such a small speaker it sounds clear and loud, much better than older models, and the options to grow with it are huge. Highly recommend getting some for your house, especially when Best Buy has promotions on these.

    Granddaughter loves that she can now listen to music while she sleeps and gets dressed in the morning. She can also ask Alexa questions she has about anything now also. She loves her Echo, it was a perfect gift for an inquisitive little teenager.

    I wanted something handy for my niece that lives out of town. She is only 6 and uses the Alexa feature to help her with homework and to call me. She's too young for a cell and the echo dot allows her to call me. She loves it and so do I. Excellent device at a great price.

    I started to convert my home into a smart home in late 2017. I did the usual smart thermostat, robotic vacuum, some switches/outlets as well as light bulbs. This has tied it all together and I find myself wishing I had an echo everywhere I go. I will soon be adding one to my office at work.

    I have purchased several Amazon echo devices; dots, shows, etc These smart speakers were such a great price to get people to easily use new tech.. Just for playing music, telling temperature, time, spelling words, definitions, etc. Great to use

    Echo dot has come in handy I since I got it, real easy to set up took up like 5 mins to connect. Works great with our tv and my wife loves playing music on it throughout the whole house I bought a few more for the other rooms. Best part Alexa tells me a joke everyday...

    Awesome little device for $15 on sale. I mainly use it for podcasts and audiobooks. But there is a lot of customization you can do. Set alarm times and set up smart lights

    I bought this because I have the regular echo in my kitchen and I use it for almost everything. I bought this one because I needed it for my bedroom and it was perfect for it. I definitely recommend this to any first timers who are interested in buying an echo.

    The sound quality is good, but Alexa doesn't always hear well. I find myself having to raise my voice to get a response.

    I already own an Echo and newer Dot, so was pleasantly surprised that the sound from this unit is nearly as good as the 4th gen. I have a set of powered gaming speakers with a subwoofer plugged into the 3.5 jack of this Dot and now can make my entire house BOOM playing music on the multiroom function. Highly recommend.

    Great little speaker! I have other Alexa devices so it works along with them in the Alexa app. I had trouble connecting this at times and it would often lose connection. That was frustrating but not a problem with the overall product. When on sale, it's a value but I would recommend buying these only for additional rooms in the house. Look for an Amazon Show product as this is very limited.

    I Got three of these on sale, completely aware of the fact that there is a more recent model available. I used these to help in turning my apartment into a smart apartment—placing them in my bathroom, closet, and bedroom (I already had ones in my kitchen and living room). Set up was extremely easy. They sync’d together automatically (everywhere group). Now things like playing music throughout the apartment or just having Alexa change the music while I’m showering are super nice. Was a pretty inexpensive way to upgrade my space. Pretty good deal, in my opinion.
