A decent sound out of speaker this size. Where this shines is the ability to be tucked out of sight and still hear when it's called to do its work.

Love our Alexa devices. We have them in every room now thanks to this add-on from Best Buy. We have both editions of the Show as well as the Spot and the towers. Now the dot has joined out family. Of course it’s just a little guy but perfect for the guest room.

We have several Alexa Devices with screens, but having the dot is convenient as well. It’s small so it stays out-of-the-way, and there are just some places where you don’t want to have a screen (or camera). It also helps if you use Alexa to play music throughout the house, this is a quick and easy way to add additional listening points. Nice new look as well.

You’ll be able to use it to control smart home devices, search for information from the web, play music, and more. But the best thing about it is how inexpensive it is.
The design of the speaker is also pretty nice.

I now have 5 of these around the house. Slowly converting light switches to be controlled. Alexa can control my robot vacuum, play my spotify music, remind me of appointments, keep my shopping list, turn on the Christmas lights and tell me the weather conditions from my weather station. I'm in nerd heaven!

Received this for the holiday's and was apprehensive at first. However, as time as gone on I have come to really enjoy it. I can ask simple questions about many subjects for general info, but for me the best part is that if you can sync to a bluetooth sound device (or using it's sad little speaker) and listen to any radio station anywhere by just telling it. One can also listen to Amazon music, but I find that I can access a lot more choices by going online with a device or computer. I do recommend the Echo Dot and would maybe get the Echo model with the better speakers.

It's nice to be able to ask Alexa about the time, about the weather forecast, to set a timer, and most of all (with a Prime membership) to play music. Hook it up to a larger sound system for richer sound, but the Dot itself has acceptable sound if you just want background music while you're working on something around the house.

I have come to like the Echo models with screens better. They are more pricey, but they also do more. Some of them also have larger speakers, so the sound quality is better. I have had this model and also the basic Google model. I came to like this better. I do a good bit of smart home control with these and I like the response and also the quality of the voice. For an entry-level device, this does a decent job. I have given some of these to friends as gifts and they and their children have enjoyed them.

BestBuy's 2/$50 deal is definitely the way to go if you live in a house. It preforms exactly as advertised: Music, simple tasks, and info. The 3rd gen Dot's speaker is more than adequate for music listening. Sync and then place in different areas of the house and they can act as an intercom. Getting Alexa to work with different smart devices can be a little challenging because many of these devices require separate controllers or a `bridge' for the different technologies to interface. If you plan to fully unlock Alexa's potential and convert to a smart house, it can be quite expensive.

Thought I get a second echo dot and now i can cover more rooms and control more devices in my home. I'm lining myself up for a complete security system and i need more help getting things set up. I think this device will be very valuable in getting my house connected.
