I have met the future and her name is Alexa. Most of us know Amazon for their great Amazon Prime shopping feature. I mean who doesn’t love free two-day shipping. However, today I’ll be talking about Amazon’s foray into the future of voice activated technology. The Amazon Echo Dot. Specifically the second generation model. Due to the success of the first model and competition from Google Home, Amazon introduced the second – gen Amazon Echo Dot back in October of 2016. What is the Echo Dot? Simply, it’s a hands-free, voice-activated small device with a built – in speaker. Dot can do all kinds of cool things, it can play music, provide information, news, sports scores, weather and more – instantly. In the Box: Packaging for the Dot is as simple as the device itself. Inside you get the Dot, a power adapter (9watt), a USB charging cable and basic instructions for setting up your new Echo Dot. Setup for the Dot couldn’t be easier. Just download the free Alexa app which is available for Fire OS, Android, IOS and desktop browsers. Once that’s done, open the app and follow the instructions to connect Dot to your Wifi network. Now you’re ready to say hello to Alexa. Alexa is actually one of four “wake” words you can use to activate your Dot. You can also use Echo, Amazon, or if you’re a Trekkie you can now use your computer. A friend of mine actually had to use a different wake word because they have a daughter named Alexa, which you can imagine caused some interesting problems. Speaking of kids, they will also love Alexa. I have two young nephews and when they come over they love asking Alexa questions or have her tell them corny jokes. Like most young kids they love Sponge Bob and got a real kick when they asked Alexa “who lives in a pineapple under the sea?” And she responded “Sponge Bob Squarepants.”

My mom has the full-sized echo but she has a 3BR 2-story house and I live in a 1BR apartment, so I went with the Dot. I love it so far! It was easy to set up, I did so as soon as I got home. I set it to recognize my voice and I use it to play music on spotify or pandora, and to control the lights (smart plugs) in my bedroom and living room. It is very responsive, easy to use, and takes up no space at all! Good sound quality for such a little device. Adds the perfect touch of modern elegance to my living room.

Love this dot and the echo, have both now. Echo in living area and dot in bedroom. Too cool all you can do, too many to list. Try one and likely you won't return it. Bought a dot for my daughter yesterday.

The sleek compact design allows for this to be placed prominently anywhere in the home or office and not look out of place. You will have expanded access to Alexa through your home or office. As well you can use this as a Bluetooth speaker for your devices. With the special pricing recently, I purchased multiple units for myself and as gifts.

This echo dot is a great little device with a lot of expandability. It can play your music as is, or can connect to home theater with a standard audio cable. I use the dot connected to a better sounding bluetooth speaker. It's always on and always connected. Alexa plays what i want and when i want. I use 3 wemo light switches. Alexa turns on Lamp, Living Room Lights and Kitchen Lights. She'll turn on/off one at a time on my command or she'll turn them all on/off at once as a group of Lights. Even my wife loves it and uses it a lot more than i thought she would!

Really like these headphones. Comfortable around the neck and good sound quality. Could be a little louder and have larger rubber ear pieces. Great battery life. Definitely worth the money!!!

I bought 4 of this echo dot and 4 plugs as a Christmas presents to my siblings in our native land. We have our own device. My family and I are enjoying it.

We're having fun with Amazon Alexa Dot. 'She' even Sings for us! As time goes on, we're learning more, to have Alexa 'help' with all sorts of info, as a timer and there is much more to learn About Alexa, so that she can Help us even more. Our Alexa Dot is Paired with our Bose Bluetooth Speaker for even better sound.

This is a great introduction to smart home technology. I got it on sale at $40 which is a really fair price. The echo dot basically does everything the regular amazon echo does. Great gift for people who are trying to make their home a "smart home" . https://youtu.be/iQy9p5hBKEI

i have the Echo at home and bought the Dot for work. Sound from dot is fine in my office but I have it plugged in to speakers for better sound quality. No problems whatsoever with the big Echo at home or the dot at work.

Speaker is not bad kitchen, Alexa will really hear you across the room. I wish Harmony remote has more command compatible with Alexa especially TV volume control. Small enough to stay in the corner on the counter....

Love how I can turn on light with it and listen to my christian music on it to

The product is good but some of the responses have to be improved by Amazon which I am sure will be done with the later versions.

so far very cool we can find out the time of games and listen to music and such

Being part of ecosystem -- Amazon's Ecosystem provides easy additions / expansions to home network / automation ( this being any forth Dot ). Once in the Amazon ecosystem, setup is efficient and very little effort. I was pleasantly surprised by the very little time involved to get up and running. More time was spent on where to put the Amazon Dot.

Easy to install. Works well. I like it. I would highly recommend it.

Always evolving amazing keeps doing new thing.yaay

The amazon echo dot is very convenient for many purposes such listening music, knowing weather conditions, traffic conditions, ordering items online, increasing your knowledge etc. I liked the item very much and recommend it for other shoppers.

It's very accurate and a very classic device. It keeps me up today with games , weather, traffic and more. Its part of the family now. Thank you amazon

Excellent personal assistant to change hone temperature, to set some reminders, check weather forecast and news summary. We love this product. Kudos to Alexa team!!!
