Echo + Alexa app does a lot
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The amazon echo is a great addition to your home if you are open to having mics listening in on your activities and conversations. I know some don't like that, but those who allow it will find great convenience in getting information about weather, movies, actors, jokes, and more. Plus, you'll be able to request music, and with a little effort in the app, you can have the same music playing via a group across multiple echos and fire sticks, giving you a great way to have a sonos-like environment. While the intelligence of the questions aren't up to par with Google's similar devices, the echo will suffice for most. Just don't expect it to answer complex questions, or provide extremely precise answers in all cases. And if you're a smart home user who likes to control lights, thermostats, etc., then the echo and its alexa app let you do lots of cool things, and even automate them with routines (e.g., say "goodnight" at the end of the day to turn off all the lights and lower the thermostat). What's especially nice is if you have multiple brands, the alexa app bridges that complexity so it all plays nicely together. Keep a spare echo ready in your music group and you can bring it outside on the deck on a nice day and have your music - and control of your music - at your side. Just wish they'd come out with a waterproof or outdoor version to have it out there all the time.

Great Echo Dot
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am pleasantly surprised with the Echo Dot. Like any Echo devices, it's easy to setup and use. Truly a miniature version of the larger Echo devices. I cannot compare against Gen 1 or 2 but I'd imagine that there are improvements. If you have other Echo devices, the Dot is a great addition. If this is the only Echo devices that you own, it is equally good.The Dot is perfect for the bedroom, kitchen, basement, family room, or home office. Literally just about anywhere in your house. Working exactly like larger Echo devices, you can Alexa for a weather forecast, news update, time, play trivia, or interesting facts. The Dot can also be used as a bluetooth speaker. It is certainly not going to be as loud, offer better bass, mids/lows as a full fledged BT speaker or larger Echo but holds its own.TIP:Do you want louder and better sound quality? Pair a bluetooth speaker with the Dot or use connect a speaker using the AUX port located on the back of the Dot.If you have smart plugs, lights or other devices in your house, the Dot can control all of those. Placing the Dot on a night stand, you can ask Alexa to turn the table lamp on or off. I tested calling with the Echo Dot and it was good. The sound was clear and the person on the other end could clearly hear me. The Dot can stream Apple Music, Spotify, Tune-in, NPR, etc, and pair with another Dot for stereo sound.

Love this echo dot
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This version of the dot is the first one I would recommend to someone who is interested in a smart speaker but not willing to spend much. The biggest drawback to the previous generation was the sound quality/loudness. I use my echoes mostly for controlling connected devices and listening to podcasts, so I felt like the older echo dot was OK for most things I would require. But even for casual music listening, it wasn't up to snuff. The new one actually has bass and sounds good to me, but it's not going to sound like a Sonos or anything and I'm not an audiophile but I do think this will satisfy the majority of people's expectations for $50. I also have the $100 full size Echo from 2017 and the new echo dot has about 65% of the sound quality and loudness of that model vs the older dot having about 15% of the sound quality of the full size echo. I have been using this new dot for a few days without any issues. I love it and I think you should get one!

Awesome. It helps a lot
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.At first, I was reluctant to talk to a hockey puck. Okay so I am old fashioned. I use smart sockets in some areas in my home. I have them connected to my phone. But I found out you could program the Echo Dot to them. I have gotten used to talking to it. I now command it to turn on and turn off certain things around my home. You can command it to guard your home. You can ask where your orders are. If you say good morning it will give you information as to what happened on that date years ago. You can joke with it too. The things you can do with it are endless.

Excellent little dot
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this echo dot in my bedroom for a backup for my older clock radio alarm clock. It does get loud so I set the volume on maximum to ensure that I can get up and it does a great job in doing so. You can set this to turn on and off smart items in your house as well such as smart light bulbs, audio equipment, and smart TV's. You can program it in tour settings to let you know what the weather forcast for the day is when you turn the alarm off. I hope this review hepl someone out.

Q: QuestionDoes the 3rd generation have Alexa? So all you have to do is ask it a question and need no other equipment?
Asked by PATCH.
- A:Answer Yes. And the speaker itself is much better than the 1st and 2nd generation!

Q: QuestionMy Mom doesn't use a smartphone. Is it possible for me to set up an Echo Dot or Echo in her apt using my smartphone for the Alexa app ... and then can I use this to check in on her and start a conversation without her needing to issue a command to answer?
Asked by LarryNY.
- A:Answer Yes you can set up the Echo on your acct/smartphone BUT if you call her using another Echo on your account in your house let's say, she will hear the Echo 'ringing' and will need to say, "Alexa, answer the call' for her Echo to pick up and start the speaker phone call from you. My 80+ year old mom can do this. Suggest you write the answer call phrase on an index card and leave it with her if needed, plus good to 'demo' the process with her on a landline and you on your phone, so you & she can see how it words and sounds.
