    I got it only because it was a good deal and I never had an alexa device in my home. Always wanted to. I actually love this little thing. Its perfect.

    Bought these for kid's Christmas presents. They're in their rooms, working great and they are enjoying them. They use them every night to sleep with, using lullaby or soft music. They also like talking to Alexa. Asking v as Rios questions from time to time.

    This was a free gift with another purchase. We have had more fun than expected playing Alexa’s games, trivia, listening to stories, ambient sounds. We can ask questions like one would ask Siri. And the vast expanse of free music is more than expected. Great gift!

    My Echo Dot is doing exactly what I was expecting it to do for me. Playing my favorite music and giving me the latest news. I love it!

    Great buy. Easy to set up and use. Even the grandkids use it. Received a nice bonus bulb with this purchase. The only thing is when WiFi is down. It’s down to. But otherwise would purchase again. Great as gifts.

    Plays music from my Amazon Music account. Plays iHeart, Spotify, and others as well. The sound is very good for such a small speaker. We use it to create a shopping list too. Great value!!

    Sounds better than gen2

    The sound quality of the speaker in this gen3 model is much better than my echo dot gen2 that I have. I like how this looks with the fabric sides. It is larger and heavier than the gen2 model (probably because of a larger speaker inside). It comes with a large power adapter and the connector is no longer micro usb but a circular plug similar to the audio connector. So no longer able to use this in the car like with gen2 (if you wanted to do that) because of the different connector and larger power adapter needed.

    The Amazon echo dot is a really great smart speaker. I have 3 of them so far throughout my house along with 2 Homepods. The echo dots are good for a bedroom and areas like that. The bigger speakers will be wanted in areas like your living room.

    The size of the echo dot makes it easy to place anywhere in a room however the cord sticks out very noticeably. The microphones work very well. I was really surprised how well the microphones registered voice commands even 15 feet away while speaking normally. For the size, the quality of the speakers are what you would expect. Its size and how easily it picks up what you say make it perfect for adding smart home voice controls to any room.

    Me and my husband absolutely love this echo, we bought three, connected all of them via Bluetooth and we use them as speakers for around the house or we use them by themselves. Plus, they sound fantastic, a good upgrade if you want to change your echo dot 2nd gen.

    Picking up a 3rd generation echo dot for under $30 is a no brainer. The smart function, easy of use and control of other smart home devices led me to Anazons Alexa. Purchased several for different rooms and the audio quality is excellent for such a small speaker.

    Full disclosure - My home is a google smart home, but this item came free as a bonus from another purchase over the holidays. I wanted to try it out just to check the differences between my google home minis. My only complaint is that I wished all of the smart home companies worked together and were all user friendly with one another...oh well...maybe someday in the future we can all learn to get along : )

    I purchased the Echo Dot to assist an elderly friend with vision problems. It has proved very helpful in assisting her with knowing dates and times as reading clocks and watches became impossible. She is enjoying music and asking informational questions.

    This is my second echo dot in the house. Love them both! You can link them to your ring doorbell, and any music apps. You can also drop in on another Alexa from your echo dot or your cellphone which is great. Easy set up as well.
