Great sound quality. Perfect size. I want more for my entire home.

Great sound for music. Easy to connect and set up will purchase again.

This is my third Echo Dot (2nd of the 3rd Gen) and I am really enjoying it. The speaker is so much better than the 2nd Gen, and I really like that part of it. It is nice having multiple ones in the house and the kids really like it too. The only thing that I don't like about it is sometimes I have to speak very loudly to get Alexa to respond to my voice. I would have given it five stars if it wasn't for that, otherwise it is a great device.

Bought three of these and added them to my other Alexa device collection, have one in every room of my 6000 sq ft home. Just love what these devices can do and then grouping them to allow for music to play in multiple rooms at the same time is great too, Lots of skills that can be downloaded to provide all sorts of automation, I have them control the TV, BluRay, fans, lights, in all rooms, very cool.

I love how small and compact it is. The sound quality is great!

Sound is fantastic. Used mostly as house intercom, controlling lights and housewide music.

This is a very good one, i love it. Great sound and easy to connect.

This was free with my Ring Doorbell purchase - thanks, Best Buy - and I am using it to replace (still working) 2nd Gen. The old device will be passed on to my aging parents who are getting great use of their devices for turning lights on and off, shopping lists and purchases. I have an Echo device of one kind or another in every room of my condo - loyal Amazon home!!

I’ve always been skeptical about getting one of these because of them “always listening”. I keep it on mute all the time unless I need to use it. One thing I really love is I don’t need to have my phone on Bluetooth for it to work or be linked to it. I can listen to music, create shopping lists, ask about anything, I love it.

I bought everyone in my family a dot for Christmas gifts this year. Very easy to set-up! I have my Christmas tree and porch lights connected for automation. I even added my work out routine with timers as a custom blueprint. The games are great too! I especially love the drop-in feature that I use to check in with the kids or use as an intercom! Alexa even connects to my firestick and controls my tv functions.

Easy to setup, easy to use. Excellent sounds! It's a must have in all of your rooms.

Nice and good design. Super easy to set up if you already own an Alexa.

AWESOME SOUND VERY EASY TO USE!!! EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE THIS ITEM!!

I love the amazon Echo dot. It has good sound for a small room and it was easy to set up.

Purchased as a gift. Easy to set-up and use. Great sound and works well with Sonos system

My very first Amazon echo dot! It runs it’s own Wi-Fi connection so you don’t have to pair your phone via Bluetooth. Easy setup through the app just follow the instructions. Great gift for anyone who can’t always get around or has a disability. Very affordable also!

I have heard a lot about Alexa and we are still getting to know each other. I am amazed at the things she knows and she is definitely great at reminding me of things. I love that she can call my friends and family for me and also help me with questions that I don't have to google. It is great for everyone, but being of the older generation I can honest say she is the greatest!

We have 5 Alexa devices throughout the house. It is the greatest convenience a parent and lover of music can ask for. The devices is always available for questions on whats going on in the world. With your plan misic is always just a song away. Highly recommend with your home lighting system and home security.

The Echo Dot 3 is an attractive, compact device. It's a decent speaker with good, clear sound. Where it falls short is where you need it most. 1) Alexa's voice is WAY TOO LOUD! More often than not I find myself just unplugging at night to avoid the temptation to speak the wake word and have her blurt out at high volume like some drunk girl at a party that's already wound down. As it is dependent on wifi, any command while not connected will prompt a super loud reply, like say volume down while using the bluetooth function to stream shows or music. Same for when it connects to a device. She just yells out the device serial number. I've tried to find ways to quiet her voice level vs music and I just don't see the option anywhere. 2) For it to be a smart speaker that is compatible with smart devices it sure doesn't seem all that smart. It still needs to be manually connected to other devices that A) that are in the same network, B) have Alexa C) Have Alexa under the same account... D) Are streaming Amazon content. Feels like 2008 all over again. The Alexa app is ok but nowhere near as intuitive as it should be. 3) Echo Dot 3 is NOT a portable, speaker as it has no battery. Maybe they're saving that feature for the 4. I've never had a desktop speaker that I couldn't take with me. There are however 3rd party devices available to remedy this. Overall, like I said, decent sound device. As long as you have stable wifi and the patience to constantly adjust the volume and to the situation you should be fine with it.

We are getting used to Alexa for turning on the lights, playing music and setting alarms!
