Certified Refurbished Echo Dot (3rd Gen) - Smart speaker with Alexa - Charcoal Fabric

Over the last few months I have added several refurbished Echo Dot 3 devices to our home and home offices. They are a great way to get into home automation by slowly adding remote control devices for lighting, power, robot cleaner, TV etc.Voice recognition is not bad generally - pretty good actually considering the complexity of the English language! Alexa does hiccup occasionally with hilarious responses or no response at all so the command has to be repeated, but overall, it is pretty impressive that you can now control so much of what is in your home even from outside of it using the app.I have found the sensitivity of the microphones pretty impressive as well as some devices located in other areas sometimes respond instead of the one you are actually talking to.So many uses for these devices and great for quick information from the internet. It is also nice to play radio or music selections on.As we have home offices, they also make great intercomms so you don't have to keep walking everywhere to talk to someone. I am planning on putting one in our barn soon which is quite some distance from the house, but it will be easy to connect via Wi-Fi.

great product, great price and great service

I’m 70 years old and I wanted a device for casual listening to music with a good sound and easy to setup and use. I got exactly what I required with the echo. The sound quality is amazing for a small device. I listen to a variety of music - rock, classical, world, electronic etc and the echo handles it all well. The device can be operated by speaking to it or by the free app on phone. I consider myself a fan.

Works well

Took a gamble on this buying a refurbished unit at the slightly discounted price of a new one. No need to worry. It has been an excellent performer and the sound quality is quite good. Always a little where is though now of what it is listening to and strangely the things that subsequently appear as adverts on my mobile phone. But hey that’s another story. .No qualms about buying a refurbished product now.

I just love this purchase!Looks and behaves just like new at only 16 quid! What's not to try here!The ease of connection via the app is brilliant.Then connecting your Amazon account is effortless.I love the ability to listen to radio stations that I could no way listen to without this, at just a voice request.Voice recognition is amazing!! I mean amazing - everything I speak is recognised effortlessly.Audio quality is extraordinary given the size, but the added benefit is the 3.5mm jack output which is true stereo and sounds amazing on headphones or through Hi-Fi.I initially resisted buying this because I couldn't justify buying, but I have been converted!!Really at this price you should give Alexa a go.I even bought Spotify just for this - something I previously said I'd never buy!!

Great product for gift , my daughter is very happy 😊

Very pleased with this product
