I bought 2 Echo Dots which I have in different rooms in my house. My parents use them to play music and control some TP-Link smart plugs with Christmas lights plugged into them. I have had no issues and I think the 3rd generation Echo Dot sounds quite good for a $30 wifi speaker.

Had a little bit of hard time connecting, but I like it once it got set up. don't have to listen to my phone for music when I doing things in the house just ask her to play my playlists. Bought one for my in-laws so they could remember doctor appt. and remembering general things.

This is such a practical little device. I have Siri on my iPhone but I don’t always have it on me especially in the kitchen which is where we placed this. I use it for the timer, unit conversions, music, phone calls, etc. It also listens better that Siri on my phone.

Decided to buy this one instead of the newest model because i love the size and still has the same quality. It’s practical and small to be placed anywhere. Great audio and nice color. So practical to control everything in a room.

I bought 3 of these and have them in different rooms. 2 are stationary and one we call gypsie because we take it around the house, plug it in and it links right to the wifi. great start to a smart home setup. will try to take on trip and see if it still works with my cell phone.

Wait until they go on sale. We love our Echo Dot (3rd Gen) Smart Speaker with Clock! No more fumbling with buttons in the dark, just say: "Alexa, set alarm clock for 12 noon" and that's it! You will be on time for all your early afternoon appointments. It also being the (3ed gen) it works with all the other (3ed gen) Echo. So if you have multiple Echo"s" you can set up if music plays on just 1 some or all" Also you can set up a grouchy list, tell Alexa what you want on the list and then that list links with the Echo app on your phone when you go shopping.

Simple to set up and easy to add on features like lighting for your home.
Wasn’t sure about buying this but my son wanted one for his birthday. We now have three in our home.
Signed up for amazon music instead of the free trial subscription Best Buy included.

I love having an Echo in most rooms of my house because I can link them and play the same music in each room as well as be able to take advantage of the personal assistant asking for weather reports and other handy information. This was my 3rd Echo

Every day I find more used for the Echo dot. The sound on the 3rd generation is so much better. Really nice. Got one for my 92 year old mother and she even loves it. She is not one to adapt well to computers, cell phones and other electronics, but this she enjoys using.

Handy to ask questions, useful doing crossword puzzle, getting caught on news in the morning, and listening to music. Grandkids love asking help on math jomework.

We got this as part of a promotional package with the ring video doorbell and we love it! Extremely easy to set up and run everything off of the Alexa app. Ask Alexa anything....she even tells knock knock jokes! They're not the best but good enough for the kids!

I thought the set up would deter me from using the Echo Dot. I was amazed and had it working in less than 15 minutes. I love it I can listen to my favorite radio station or get the weather or even get a recipe for cooking something different. Great little product!

This Dot is a nicer style than my others. It does not do anything that the others don't but it is so nice to have Alexa throughout my home. All I do is say her name and she is awake and ready to set a timer, tell a joke, answer a question, turn on / off a light. It is wonderful!

Great to have. Asking any questions to telling Alexa to add items to grocery list which goes to my phone and keeps them in categories which makes shopping easy. She even turns lights on and off when told

Disclaimer. This product was a freebie as part of another purchase. That said, I already own several google home and chromecast devices so this is a one-off Amazon device on my network. I'm pretty pleased with the device as a whole and it is similar enough to my other smart speakers that the adaptation wasn't difficult. It seems to perform all the basic functions just fine such as controlling lights, setting alarms, and playing music. It's a nice device overall.
