I am slow to buy new things but got this with the purchase of a Fire TV. Using voice, it can turn on and off my Roku sticks and Fire TV, alarms, reminders, news, weather, and music.

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 have 3 of these and use them everyday. The sound very good for their size. I have not had any connectivity issues unless my wireless is already having trouble. You can do a lot with these devices when you check into the app.

These have been great so far. Got them for the kids to use for several reasons. Now they can listen to their own music (without having to steal my wife’s phone), set alarms/reminders for schoolwork and appointments, and have an alarm clock. These are easy to set up and easy to use.

I have 3 Echo Dots throughout my house and I’m usually satisfied with her answers. Sometimes she doesn’t have the answers but I mostly use it for the weather and my grandchildren always ask for songs to sing along and dance. Definitely a keeper.

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

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.

This is our 4th Alexa, we actually purchased this one for my parents and the love it! They love being able to check the weather, ask about music and any other random thing they like! Totally worth it to bring them a little joy every day!

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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.
