Echo Dot 3 Appraisal

Amazon Echo Dot (3rd Generation) in Original Packaging

This item is an original retail box for an Amazon Echo Dot (3rd Generation) smart speaker. The packaging features the signature turquoise blue color synonymous with Amazon's hardware line, displaying the product name in a clean, white sans-serif font. The graphics illustrate a charcoal gray puck-shaped device with its distinctive fabric-wrapped perimeter and the iconic blue LED light ring. The box highlights key features like 'Far-Field Voice Control' and Alexa integration. In terms of physical condition, the cardboard box appears largely intact but shows minor signs of shelf wear and soft bumping at the upper right corner and base. Based on the product design shown, this belongs to the 3rd generation of the Echo Dot, which was widely produced starting around 2018. The construction is standard industrial paperboard with high-gloss printing. While the internal device is not visible, the presence of the original box is a significant factor for collectors of consumer electronics. The branding and layout are characteristic of Amazon's late-2010s aesthetic, focusing on utility and voice-command accessibility.
