Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5At 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.

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I 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!

Great Echo Dot
|Posted .Owned for 1 year when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Digital assistant, Set up, Speaker qualityI 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.

Echo dot is a must have!

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I purchased this generation echo to replace my first generation model. It was easy to setup and I love all the features on the app. The music quality is perfect on my desk while I am working. I use Alexa all the time to remind me of important dates. This is a really handy device to use. I even have smart home devices setup in my home that Alexa controls for me.

Q: QuestionDoes the 3rd generation have Alexa? So all you have to do is ask it a question and need no other equipment?

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.

Asked by Anonymous.

Q: QuestionAny experience with multiple echo dots in same house?? I have 3 kids, 3 separate kindles for them, if I set it up with an echo dot in each room (mainly for music) will it work properly???
Asked by Kindle.
- A:Answer It should work fine in multiple rooms. Only challenge you might face if you have a small house then if one kid is yelling at his Alexa device other 2 will activate too and bug everyone else. Good idea would be to name them differently, 1) Alexa , 2) Amazon, 3) Echo .. so each kid has personal wake up name for Alexa and they won't mess with each other.
