This is the 1st dot that I have owned so I can't compare it to the previous versions.
The Dot ver 3 has a really good speaker. It can get pretty loud for such a small unit and it's very easy to connect it to a Bluetooth speaker if you want something louder or better quality for streaming music.
It easily connects to your home wifi (no computer needed) via the Alexa app on your phone. Setup took about 2 minutes.
Now I am able to control my Hue lights with my voice set a timer or just ask random questions.
The initial offer price at 2 for $50 is a steal. I picked up 4 and am very happy with the results.

I bought this for my daughter and she loves it!
I will be buying this dot for myself. I bought this for her for Christmas with the fire TV that also has Alexa so they work in different areas of the house for her convenience. Great purchase! I would definitely recommend.

This little device definitely comes in handy. Especially when you have family over and can’t figure out who is right when a question is asked, all you have to do is ask alexa. It can be used for anything. The kids in the family love to use it when they come over too

The sound is incredible for teh size of the speaker. As for the "smartness" of Alexa, I have to say there is a long road to call that technology smart.

We have these throughout our home. They work great talking back and fourth and also just for listening to music. We did purchase the plug ins so we don’t have to have them sitting on a countertop. Never had an issue. Would highly recommend.

These make great Christmas presents. At this price, you can’t go wrong. The Echo Dot is easy to use and fun for everyone of all ages. You can ask Alexa to play music, turn on and off lights, answer questions, call people on the telephone, order shopping items, and so much more. It has a security feature that you can set up to listen for glass breakage and other noises.
This Echo Dot is tiny, so it takes up little room.
I am not crazy over the fact that it records conversations, but you can ask it to erase conversations. Alexa is always listening for her name, so it hears everything.

This device is perfect for the not so technical person. It is easy to setup and use. My husband and I have thoroughly enjoyed using our Echo Dot (3rd Generation). We are seriously thinking about purchasing the larger Alexa so we can control multiple items in our home.

This is my first step into the whole Amazon Alexa world...pretty simple...and my kids get a kick out her jokes. It's nice to have music play in the kitchen while I cook or if I need to know the weather before running out the door... totally worth the price on sale..;)

Just plug it in and follow the instructions to set it up on the internet. Once it is connected to your wifi it works fine. But there are few instructions on how it works or what the features are. The manual that comes with it does not even tell you what the buttons on it are for. Sometimes it lights up for no reason. Found out this means it has a message, but could not figure out how get it to deliver the message. Needs better operating information.

Very easy set up. We were able to integrate our new Vizio TV with it in no time. Love the notifications feature which lets us know when Amazon packages have arrived. My wife loves the that she is able to listen to Amazon Music on it.

I never thought I wanted one of these in my house. However, it has become very handy. From simple information to helping control the lights, thermostat, and other activities we have almost become addicted.

I have two Echo dots and one Echo Plus in my home music group.
Loved the ease in setting up the group and in the process of adding additional dots to the music group throughout the house. Great value when 2 dots are purchased. Wish I would have ordered these sooner.

This is my 3rd echo dot and I've been pleasantly surprised with it. I've been able to incorporate a number of smart/home automation products with it and of course it integrates well with Amazon.

We love our Echo Dots!!! We have several of these throughout our house. This generation is much better than the previous generations. Sound quality is great. I really love everything there is about these. Plus, you can't beat that black Friday price!
