    The sound is great compared to the second gen. Would totally buy this again when it goes on sale. The assistant is nice to have in the house for services not yet HomeKit compatible as you can use IFTTT to control many things as a work around.

    I love my echo! I have his particular one in my garage and use it every time I’m out there working out, cleaning my garage, or even working in the front yard and I can hear it.

    Hey Alexa, keep up the good work! I already had a dot before getting this one for free with another purchase. The NSA is probably using this to spy on me, but it turns my lights off when I’m too lazy to get up, so I would recommend.

    The Echo Dot was a missing piece to my home automation puzzle. I had most of the items I needed but until I added the Echo Show and Echo Dot, I didn't realize the convenience of home automation. My smart home is now complete.

    It’s so easy to set an alarm, listen to music, ask a question. I can make a grocery list without touching technology. Speech only. I also use it as an intercom to speak to my son in his room. My only regret is that I waited so long to get it.

    I have the google mini to control my smart plugs and lights but usually find trouble every few days. With Alexa and the echo dot these problems are gone and plus Alexa is much friendlier and includes many more interactions!!!

    When I bought this I honestly didn’t plan of using it or keeping it that long but it’s surprisingly fun and easy to use. One of my favorite features is having Alexa turn on and off my lights and changing the temperature inside my house!

    I was hesitant about owning one of these devices because of the negative publicity it was receiving. Thankfully, I received a free one for getting a big order. Wow! It’s been wonderful to do everything by voice command. Bye bye remote controls.

    I installed this along with some light bulbs and a thermostat at my elderly in law’s. It was simple to setup and easy for them to use. I no longer get those calls asking how to turn the temperature up anymore.

    Speaker is good enough for it’s size, great for listening to talk radio or podcasts. Alexa voice recognition is much better than Siri, and works well with my smart plugs and wi-fi bulbs. The Alexa app itself and the skill enabling storefront are really chaotic and could use some work. But this price is great for a device to dip your toe into the ecosystem.

    I'm pretty sure I have not used this for nearly as many handy uses as I could...partly in not being completely for sure how to access all aspects of this! But for listening to music while cooking dinner it has been extremely nice!

    I love the Alexa and Echo Dot line. The 3rd generation is amazing and has better speaker output and better mic reach for a truly 360 coverage. I like the more curved and sleek design compared to the 2nd generation.

    I purchased this to put in my main living area, replacing another Dot that I then moved to another room. I enjoy the much fuller sound that the 3rd gen has, and it seems to be more sensitive to the wake word than the previous generation.

    The Amazon-Echo Dot (3rd Gen) - Smart Speaker with Alexa in charcoal is very easy to use! I love having it available to me when I want to listen to music. I just say what I want and she does it.

    This is our 3rd echo dot that we have added to our home. I bought this for my son and he uses it for everything. It plays the radio station all night while he is asleep and will be using it for an alarm once school is back.
