Best Echo Dot
This was launched on 11th and I got the product by 12th. Plus the reduced price due to sale and a nice smart bulb for just 500 rupees. Overall I think this was super value for money. I haven't used any other smart speaker before but I am very happy with my purchase. Below are some observations :
Initially it feels a bit weird talking to a speaker but you get used to it in no time.
The sound quality is pretty good. You get good depth of sound with decent bass.
Several skills available and you will definitely find some very useful. For example adding stuff to shopping list or setting up a reminder.
Understands the Indian accent very well. Sometimes I am amazed by how well it picks up stuff.
Kids love it. An added advantage is that they can take help for homework and talking to alexa also motivates them to talk in English
Pls click helpful if my review is helpful, So I got the 3rd generation Echo Dot during Amazon great Indian sale. I had actually tested the 2nd generation Echo Dot and Echo few months back and was not that impressed with the sound quality, the 2nd Gen Dot was hopeless. Let me put down the pro's and con's of the 3rd generation Echo Dot
Pro's.
1. Great improvement in sound quality when compared to the 2nd generation DOT.
2. Alexa understands Indian accent well and the one sold here is customized only for India.
3. You can enable lot of skills. Skills are like apps created by third party developer, you just need to enable them based on your requirement.
4. Smart home features works very well. I love controlling lights with Alexa.
5. Design and build quality is very good. I liked the fabric design over the plastic on the 2nd gen DOT
6. Just say what you want to buy from Amazon and it will purchase/add it to your cart. Alexa will buy it provided you have given her permissions, it can be controlled using Alexa app on your mobile.
7. You can make her connect to a bigger speaker using bluetooth or Aux for better quality sound.
8. Alexa can play songs of your choice from Amazon prime music as well as Tune-in radio. You can enable other radio stations aswell.
9. The best part of Alexa is that she can set reminders, to do lists and Alarms. She can set multiple alarms and reminders.
10. You can ask her any random questions, calculations, general knowledge etc.
Cons.
1. Alexa can place order for you from Amazon but you gotta be very specific. Let's say you asked Alexa to buy a T Shirt, she doesn't give you options on the color or size. If you give specific details in the first command, then she will place the correct one in the cart but it's not easy. She is only good to order groceries from Amazon.
2. I found some bugs with her, sometimes she asks me to try the command after a while. She rebooted once when she was not able to process the command. Also I found issues when using certain skills. I'm sure Amazon will fix those issues.
3. Audio quality is good but not great. I know that she is not just a speaker, but clarity could have improved when listening to music. Connect to a bigger speaker with AUX or bluetooth if you're not satisfied with sound quality. Please don't compare Dot with JBL or similar, I've seen it in few reviews. If you're an audiophile and want excellent sound quality, then don't look at the Echo range of products.
4. You need Amazon prime subscription to search and play for songs. I won't recommend Echo to anyone without Prime subscription.
Over all I'm happy with Alexa. She is a good smart companion. Alexa is intelligent and there are lot of things you can do, just some spent time with her and you will be amazed. Amazon will be enabling Alexa with more skills, it's a worth buy when compared to Google Home.
