I was very skeptical about getting one but I had to try it and it’s amazing! It can hear me clearly and it sounds amazing when I play music! It’s super convenient when I have to ask questions and it does other features but overall, it’s small and durable so you can put it anywhere in your home!
Arrived rather promptly for a refurbished dot with free Amazon Shipping. Setup took only 5 minutes with my Echo Dot 3rd Gen with my Fire 16gb tablet (latest model) and everything worked great. The volume and bass is a huge improvement over the 2nd gen dot, something that well it's not a product from the big "B" that makes speakers but its convincing enough to let you know it has clear bassful audio at loud volumes.
The one thing that is a drawback is that I like to listen to Dr Laura Call of the Day and she would play back episodes which sometimes I want to hear them play in backward sequence. Now this dot only plays the latest episode but will no longer play back episodes back to back from Tune In. A slight disappointment but I can always go to the source for that or if I want to listen to the latest episode I can ask Alexa to do that.
I do like that it replaces my FM radio that many of the stations I listen to, Alexa can play them. So I'm happy with that.
Overall this was a fantastic value and I'm happy I was able to snag it at the promo price it was selling at. Love Amazon products.
I really don't have a single negative thing to say about this device. Priced right, looked untouched when I got it, sounds really good for a small speaker, and Alexa responds from across the room. I took it to work and plugged the aux output into the intercom/music system, it was actually pretty amazing. I can use voice commands, my iPhone, or manual press buttons. This was an older model when I bought it, but I'd def do it all over again.
We now have 2 Echo Dots and one Echo Show (with the optional portable base) in our house, and I LOVE them! We have all of the Echos linked to our home security, and my kids use them daily for music and random general information. The thing I love MOST about having these around the house (and why I’d recommend one in every room, ESPECIALLY if you have teenagers!) is the “Drop-In” and “Announcement” feature! No more do I have to yell up the stairs to see if my daughter is awake for school; no longer do I have to repeat myself 17 times for my son to hear me in his room! I can simply make an announcement (which goes to all of the Echos) or “Drop-In” on an individual Echo! It is WONDERFUL! I can also make sure their alarms are set correctly and change the alarm to something funny for them to wake up to! Needless to say, I am OBSESSED! I need at LEAST one more! I highly recommend the Echo Dot for teen rooms and any Echo anywhere else!
This was at a special price because it is refurbished. It was easy to set up using the Alexa phone app. It does a pretty good job with voice recognition. I use the skills to listen to iHeart Radio, TuneIn, Audacy, and SiriusXM. I was using it for a while connected to a Bluetooth speaker in another room, but found that sometimes the device and phone app get a little confused. The phone app turns your phone into another Alexa device and sometimes what you command to one device gets done by the other. I enjoy using the Alexa device. I enjoy using the Alexa software on my phone, but sometimes I can't get it to provide specific podcast episodes. It will play the LAST episode available, but if I tell it to go back two days the software doesn't know what to do. I also connected a set of B&O speakers to the device and the sound created is very full and rich. The internal device speaker is quite satisfactory. Give one of these a try and see how you like it!
