    Love it! We can get what we like to listen to without having a radio to have static. We asked funny questions and she gives funny answers. It does a lot more, which we are still trying out.

    I didn’t think I would use it much but it has become very useful! Especially when I can’t find the remote, I just have it turn my tv on!

    This does exactly what I expected it to do. Controls my TV, lights, and allows me to communicate with my girlfriend’s echo at her house. Inconspicuous and svelte.

    I think that this works well. The sound is good and works with my other Alexa devices. It was even better since it came free with another product that I purchased.

    I just got the dot approximately a month ago. I’m temporally using it in my RV until I move into our new house on 29 Jan. 2019. At that time it will help me with my Amazon system to work with my house lighting, camera security system etc.

    Love my echo dot specially when it came free with my fire tv. It controls all my fire tvs and fire tablet. I tell it to connect to youtube or spotify to play music or videos while I’m doing housework.

    I bought an Alexa speaker for my mom for Christmas. She was a little hesitant at first, but has now learned to love it. Was easy set up with the Alexa app. I currently own 2 echo dots as well and they are great to have.

    I love being able to listen to music that I have not heard in years. I ask Alexa every morning for the weather forecast for the day-she hasn't let me down. I love being able to get the news, podcasts-great product!

    3rd alexa in the house and I can't believe I used to live without these! They're so helpful especially when your house is a complete smart home like mine. Awesome product and great seasonal pricing.

    Echo Dot is very handy for all of the advertised reasons. For basic set up it is very simple. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that when it comes to linking to multiple units, including fire stick tv, fire tv, or smart tv it frequently gets confused with whether to operate the unit, Bluetooth sound, or sometimes disconnect itself. I have to re-pair it to my fire tv about every other day

    We bought our Dot in a package deal with an Amazon FireTV stick so we got it for a good price. We use it mostly for setting timers and listening to Pandora. We have been unable to connect it to our Bluetooth Bose speaker but the Dot speaker sounds almost as good. We are not finished exploring what we can do with it and will likely get more smart home devices in the coming months.

    I recently put my paranoia fears aside and started to use Alexa to run everything from my Sonos products to my smart door lock and I'm very happy I did. This little gadget makes things slightly easier and does so while looking pretty cool

    I bought the dot on sale in a package deal with a smart plug. It was a great jump off in creating a smart home. Since I’ve added some smart bulbs and another plug. It’s very easy to setup a use. I’m still finding new ways to use it.

    Bought 3 of these for my kids room and it has been great. Use it for white noise, alarms, radio and to control the lights in their rooms. kids have a blast with it and since we can control in with our Alexa it is very nice to have.

    I purchased the Echo Dot to compliment my Echo. I love how easy it is to control things in my house (i.e. lights)... as well as receive information (Flash briefings) away from my Echo. I plan to get more to populate more rooms in my house!

    I use Alexa in the kitchen and I can tell you it is fun using her. The games are very fun to play amd it is good to listen to music while just sitting around doong nothing.
