    I keep getting these free with some purchase. I’m not sure I’m ready for Amazon to monitor my household conversations. Regardless, you can’t beat the price!

    The Amazon Dot Echo we purchased has been AMAZING!!! We are totally happy with the purchase and only wished we had done it sooner. Alexa is light years ahead of Siri in intelligence and ease of operation and the number of things "she" can help with is fantastic. Great purchase

    Bought my husband the bigger one for his shop. I like the way it sounds so I bought the Echo Dot for the house, sounds just as good as the bigger one. Actually bought my mom an Echo Dot for her house too. She says it sounds as good as her big stereo and speakers

    I like this better than google product. Only drawback is it was a package deal with a smart light that I could use since google NEVER recognized either of the 2 philips hue I bought. Never saw the light.

    Sound and build quality are great and integrates well with my Nest thermostats. Gave it 4 stars because there isn’t an easy way to ask Alexa to play from your music collection. All of my music is on google music and Amazon no longer allows you to upload your own music to its cloud. It also cannot access Google music. Unless you pair your phone with it, I couldn’t find a simple way to ask Alexa to play a particular song in your collection.

    I have an echo dot in every room and this one was added to the garage as I currently have smart lights. It’s easy to set up with the Alexa app.

    Great Home Automation Solution

    I use the Echo Dot (3rd Gen) as the Hub of my home automation system, and as a music player paired with my Amazon music account. Completely satisfied with the upgrade from the 2nd Gen Unit; it sounds much better, boots up quicker and is just as good at recognizing my voice.

    I like the design. Pretty much like the Google mini. It sounds better than the Dot 2, but some distortion with lots of bass, which is to be expected. It has a good build quality feel to it. It is the main voice hub in my smart home. The price is great!! It is a useful device.

    I have a few 2nd gen Dots which don't sound good enough to listen to music. I use them just to get voice control functionality in some extra rooms. This 3rd gen Dot sounds much better, so I'll be moving it to a room where I might sit and listen to music.

    I have several Gen 2 echo dots and there is a very noticeable improvement in sound quality with the Gen 3. Other than that it’s very much the same. If you’re in the market for a new one, this is great, but not enough of a difference to justify replacing your existing devices.

    Got this one to put in my home office. I have 2 other dots (with clocks), an Echo Show, and 2 Echo Flexes (with nightlights). Simple set up. Along with 7 smart bulbs and 1 smart plug. I think I just about have my house covered. They sure make life easy!

    We have one of these things in nearly every room of my house. When used with Alexa's evolving smart home feature set, this allows me to control nearly all aspects of my smart home automation, and also provide a nice low-cost alternative to multi-room audio playback solutions.

    To complement an Echo Show in the household, this Echo Dot is perfect for the den for all Alexa functions. Although it doesn''t have the sound fidelity of the Show, more than adequate to get information from Alexa and serve as an intercom to the Show.

    These are a fantastic addition to our home. We have bought these for each bedroom (4), our family room and home office. Excellent sound quality and ties in well with our SIRIUS channel. We purchased the larger tower for our family room.

    Got this for free with the Ring Pro purchase. It's a good deal since I've been wanting to transition off 2.4GHz band. Seems heavier and sound better in comparison to the 1st generation Echo Dot. Mic seems to pick up my voice from across the room better as well.
