    I have the google mini to control my smart plugs and lights but usually find trouble every few days. With Alexa and the echo dot these problems are gone and plus Alexa is much friendlier and includes many more interactions!!!

    I was hesitant about owning one of these devices because of the negative publicity it was receiving. Thankfully, I received a free one for getting a big order. Wow! It’s been wonderful to do everything by voice command. Bye bye remote controls.

    I love my echo! I have his particular one in my garage and use it every time I’m out there working out, cleaning my garage, or even working in the front yard and I can hear it.

    I'm pretty sure I have not used this for nearly as many handy uses as I could...partly in not being completely for sure how to access all aspects of this! But for listening to music while cooking dinner it has been extremely nice!

    I purchased this to put in my main living area, replacing another Dot that I then moved to another room. I enjoy the much fuller sound that the 3rd gen has, and it seems to be more sensitive to the wake word than the previous generation.

    I installed this along with some light bulbs and a thermostat at my elderly in law’s. It was simple to setup and easy for them to use. I no longer get those calls asking how to turn the temperature up anymore.

    I love the Alexa and Echo Dot line. The 3rd generation is amazing and has better speaker output and better mic reach for a truly 360 coverage. I like the more curved and sleek design compared to the 2nd generation.

    Speaker is good enough for it’s size, great for listening to talk radio or podcasts. Alexa voice recognition is much better than Siri, and works well with my smart plugs and wi-fi bulbs. The Alexa app itself and the skill enabling storefront are really chaotic and could use some work. But this price is great for a device to dip your toe into the ecosystem.

    This is our 3rd echo dot that we have added to our home. I bought this for my son and he uses it for everything. It plays the radio station all night while he is asleep and will be using it for an alarm once school is back.

    Love it. We now have four located throughout the house and Alexa is very helpful in playing the music we like and answering some of our stupid questions. Think of the Saturday Night Live Skit where the "older folks" can't remember her name...

    The Amazon-Echo Dot (3rd Gen) - Smart Speaker with Alexa in charcoal is very easy to use! I love having it available to me when I want to listen to music. I just say what I want and she does it.

    I actually got this as a free gift when I purchased my ring doorbell. I have the Show as well. It’s connected to my alarm so when I’m in my office it still announces if someone is at the door. Great gift!

    We are loving all our Echo Dots. We can control lights, thermostats, and locks, We can communicate easily between floors. Ask questions. Make calls. So many ways to use them, yet we’ve barely scratched the surface of what they can help us do.

    Alexa is by far the easiest smart device to own. With so many options to connect your house and life, I’m not sure how we lived without this. My house has 4 Alexa devices that communicate with each other.

    I purchased this Amazing echo dot gen 3 on sale for $25 o Black Friday. I already knew about the new echo dot when I bought this but wanted to save some money. I was going to purchase the Echo 2 when a family member suggested the 3 which is the new generation. The built-in speaker is not very loud for music and is really only good to hear Alexa assistant or talking in general. This is great however that it allows you to pair this with any Bluetooth speaker to send the audio to much better speakers. I am also using this with the 3.5 mm line out cable to hook this to my non-Bluetooth Sony alarm clock that is way too old to have built-in Bluetooth. I really like being able to send audio via Bluetooth to my sony sound bar by voice command! For the price, I paid though I think this is a good assistant to add to your smart home.

    Better sound than expected. Echo can understand my speech even if it’s far away or a little low in volume. Bought it just turn off lights at night but now using it for music play and many more. Great buy.
