I am addicted
5 Stars
I am addicted
I own an Echo (1st generation), an Echo Dot (2d generation), and 3 of these Echo Dot (3rd generation). Comparing to generation 2, these sound so much better. Most of my use is listening to music, to use generation 2 I would have to pair it with a bluetooth speaker. My 1st generation has the best sound, but it is also a lot bulkier and more expensive. I love that Generation 3 did away with the big Amazon logo on the front, for a more conspicuous look. Generation 3 is the perfect combination of sound, looks, and size. I wouldnt listen to music on generation 2 without pairing it with a bluetooth speaker (for some reason the bluetooth was not stable either), but gen 3 sounds music sounds decent . Definitely an upgrade from gen2. The onw advantage of gen2 is the use of a standard micro-USB power cord for power. Generation 1 and 3 come with non standard power cords. I am still debating replacing the gen 2 with a gen 3, and about adding one to the garage. I keep wanting to buy more of these.Top 10 cool things I commonly do with Alexa: * I use these as a house intercom system.* I can ask alexa to call my phone when I can't find it. Amazing how often that one gets used.* We get groceries through Amazon Fresh, so now we all ask alexa to buy whatever groceries we need, and they will get added to the cart for the next grocery delivery. No more grocery list. * I can ask alexa to "drop in" to my sons bedroom, which lets me listen in to what is happening when it gets crazy (it makes a beep sound, so he knows when I am listening). This also lets me talk to my husband while he is in his office and I am in the kitchen without yelling.* I have always listened to music while in the kitchen, but its nice to be able to control what you play through these.* I ask alexa to announce "food is ready", the announcement is then relayed to all fire tablets, fire tv, and echo devices throughout the house. No one has an excuse they didn't hear me call them to the table.* I can ask Alexa to start a timer while I am cooking and my hands are elbow deep in food.* I can ask Alexa to make it colder (with Ecobee smart thermostat) , pause TV, resume TV, play a show, and turn off the lights while watching tv.* I keep catching my son having the funniest conversations with Alexa, she has definitely answered a lot of "why" questions that would usually go to me. :) He also plays music through his dot.* I can control what time wake up alarm goes off in which room's device.
