Update: just found out the hard way that the australian power adapter is ever so slightly (about 1-2mm on each side) larger than the US power adapter and as such a lot of the mounting options sold online that let you hang the echo dot off the plug will not work. No idea why amazon would do this as the dimension difference is so nominal that they surely would have been able to fit the au adapter components into the same size as the US plug.
Where the third generation Echo Dot excels is in music playback which is particularly good considering the size of the unit. And I don't always have to play internet music as by connecting bluetooth to my phone I can play all the music on the phone's internal storage.
I'm hoping things improve and I'm sure they will as I try more things but the 'Skills' really need a lot of work to make them useful.

It's frustrating. Half the time, Alexa does not understand me. The other half, it can't help. A request for a simple recipe is met with, "this feature is not supported". Asking for the date gives me the time, and getting it to keep track of basic kitchen timers, or perform unit conversions such as grams to ounces, is an exercise in futility. Getting it to control a Sonos system? I've given up. Maybe it'll play, maybe it won't. And if it does, there's a 50/50 chance I'll be able to pause or skip or even change volume.
Trying to get it to discover my smart home devices, even stuff as popular and commonplace as Hue, is awful. Alexa gets it wrong 99% of the time, and the app has the worst and most confusing interface.
The voice assistant on my phone is much more capable. The Alexa team have evidently let the world catch up and surpass them, and that is super disappointing.
I don't need it, rarely use it, and tbh only bought it cos it was $10 and matched the accessories on my desk. A cute little radio is all it is to me...because until the location situation gets sorted (a NIGHTMARE), that's all I can really use it for.
