    Received this free with Ring system purchase. Works great to listen to music. Free music stations that do not require subscription.

    I bought one for my sister and one for my parents. They live near each other in another state. My parents are elderly and sometimes need to call my sister in the middle of the night. The plan was for them to have this in the bedroom and just ask Alexa to call my sister if necessary. However, once we set it up, they love having the Amazon music plus the other skills that Alexa can be taught so we bought a second one for my parents’ living room/kitchen area. They can even use the intercom skill to speak directly to my sister in her house without needing a phone!

    Because of its size and cost, I have several Alex Dots in different places in our home. I love to listen to music, so I have them pared with good blue tooth speakers.

    As stated. Seems to work well with a Fire tv. Purchased for my mother who is recently bedridden after a surgery. This has definitely improved her quality of life. She can make lists, have reminders, etc. Alexa is not perfect 100% of the time but seems to continuously improve...

    It is so cool. I love it. It took the place of my alarm clock and an Echo dot that didn't have a clock that you could see. The speaker is very nice too.

    So many things you can set up and do with the Echo Dot. We have just started the lists much easier than using paper notes and you can add and delete from your phone.
