I'm an adult, and I bought this Tiger Echo Dot (sphere) for my own use. I think it is just SO cute. My primary need was to have an easy to use speakerphone on my desk so that when people called, or I had to call someone, I could keep working and typing while maintaining the phone conversation. Sure, I could have bought an actual speakerphone unit. But this is so so much better. I've loaded in an unboxing video to show how it comes packaged, and how it starts up. It was incredibly easy to install and also quite easy to set up for 'adult use' without the children restrictions. I have it set to turn on the office lights, the living room lights, and so on. I can easily check the weather or add items to a to-do list. It plays music and I even enjoy the daily Jeopardy trivia game. For me, the most important use is the speakerphone. I can call any phone out there and have long, crystal-clear conversations while I do my work. For someone to call me, they need to use the Alexa app to call in to my tiger. I'm fine with that. If someone really wants to chat for a while, they can message me so that I initiate the call to them. I'll note that some people complain about the 'not perfect' audio quality. I'm not sure what someone expects from a tiny plastic sphere. I have Harman Kardon speakers on my desk. If I really want stellar classical music, I'll play through those. But if I just want something poppy in the background while I work? The tiger is absolutely perfect for that. Ask with any questions - I'm quite pleased!

Love this thing! It’s super cute, and it keeps our 5 year old from using the one in the living room to play her songs or games with. I can set parameters. It can keep her from making purchases like she could on the regular ones. It can even tell her bedtime stories or set habits like “goodnight” and “goodmorning” times. I can actually drop in from ours in our room and listen to her in hers, or talk with her like walkie talkies with them!

My girlfriend has always commented on how cute the kid echo dots are, so I bought this hoping I’d be able to disable the parental and kid features and give it to her. Right after setup, there’s an option in the Alexa app to completely disable all child functions and settings, so it’s able to be used as a regular old dot! We’ve had a smart ecosystem for quite some time but my girlfriend has been asking for one just for her desk to play music quietly, and this certainly fits the bill. And it is definitely cute too!
