Awesome. It helps a lot
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.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.

Love my Echo Dot!
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I purchased the Ring Doorbell at Best Buy and the Echo Dot was included with the purchase. Thanks Best Buy! I love my Echo Dot! All you need to do is plug it in, get the app on your phone and follow the prompts. I ask Alexa silly questions, I ask her to play music, tell me jokes, set up my alarm, set up reminders, I ask for the weather, the time, etc. love it!

Echo Dot
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This was a gift for my granddaughter’s friend. He has MS and is confined in a wheelchair. He could use his arms a couple year’s ago, but only his fingers now. Echo has changed his life. He can talk on the phone and reach his family and friends. It was the best gift EVER.

Echo dot you’re one of my fav things.
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This is the 2nd of my echo dot, I use it to play plant songs to help grow my plants. It is in the formal dining since plants needed to be inside due to snow. It also provide background music while we eat together with family and occasionally with friends.

Worth the upgrade!!
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Before purchasing this echo dot, I was gifted the other one from the same generation without the clock. I had that one for about a year before I decided to upgrade to this one. The echo dot is perfect for an alarm clock, but all I was missing was the digital clock. Now it has one and it is absolutely perfect. I love playing my music on it and I use it to check the weather in the mornings. I also have a few smart plugs that I have paired with my echo dot... sooo convenient. But my all-time favorite feature is the drop-in feature. When I'm at work I can drop in on my echo dot via the Alexa app and talk to my child. This feature also allows for multiple echo dots in your home to be used as an intercom system. LOOOOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!

Must have Echo Dot 3 gen with clock.
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.It’s an Echo Dot 3rd Gen, But with an LED Clock and it makes an awesome gadget to have next to your bed. Dims at night or you have the option to dim it to your liking, love it and I highly recommend this product. Downside it only comes in white or sandstorm but looks amazing you will not regret the purchase. Two thumbs up.

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 Larry.
- 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.

Q: QuestionHow do I set this up?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer First download the Alexa app on your device, then plug in your echo dot , the echo dot light will turn light red/orange while pairing with your phone then wait for the light to turn blue and Alexa will say hello , then follow the instructions on the Alexa app. On the app just add the device to your list and scan the unique scan code that’s include inside the echo dot box. After set up just ask Alexa anything.

Q: QuestionIs the app available on a PC? (for a grandparent who doesn't own a smartphone)
Asked by Kyle.
- A:Answer Yes. I setup my first 2 from my laptop. Now I have a Chromebook and setup the last one I purchased from it. I don't have the app on my phone because I use the phone primarily for work and want to keep my contacts private. PS - use all 3, none of them went bad.
