    For a true tin foil hat guy to buy this is a life evaluating event. But my favorite aspect of this is I don't even have to search FOR ANYTHING on my phone anymore. Or even type anymore. I just say Alexa, play crazy train and BOOM! Ozzy is singing to me. Seriously tho, I'd recommend this for any older parents. They can talk so no typing and everything will be at the end of the tongue now. Delivery, cab, google searches, music, instructions to a certain dish and so on.

    It’s an Echo Dot!

    This came free with a purchase. The sound quality is fantastic, and the smart functionality seems functional. My biggest qualm with it is that it’s not battery powered and must stay plugged in when in use. If it weren’t free, I wouldn’t have gotten it, but I’m not super interested in making my house a smart home.

    Between personal use and gifts, I've purchased at least a half-dozen Echo Dots. Every single one works like a champ with no issues. Alexa makes it so simple to listen to all my favorite music and Talk Radio programs.

    Alexa is a nice spontaneous online helper. It's speaker quality is very good with excellent receiving capacity by its 4 microphone. It's size is very cute and can place on bed side table.

    I received this as an "add on" to another purchase so was very pleasantly surprised. I love the small size of it so I can tuck it away on a counter while I work. I have a larger one that has a bit better sound quality, but the Echo Dot is just fine. It does have to be connected to a power source, so it's not as portable as other speakers, but for an office, kitchen or small space it is perfect.

    The Echo Dot came free with a Sony TV I bought. The TV has the Google assistant so I didn't really need this. I gave it to my Mom to use in her kitchen. It's very handy for setting timers and making shopping lists that you can see in the app. It also works good for streaming music. We all have fun asking it to tell us jokes too. I plan on installing a few Wi-Fi switches so she can use it to turn some lights on and off. It's well designed and fun to use. Definitely happy with it!

    She knows it all and you can sync your AmazonMusic, Spotify and a ton other apps/accounts with it to have an even more personalized experience. The sound quality is incredible (it surpassed my expectations) and it's pretty loud too. It's a great deal, no denying it.

    Wonderful Mini-Alexa

    I placed this in my laundry room. Nothing like having music when I'm washing, drying, and doing the dreaded folding. It's small, can be hidden or blended in, and works for low volume tunes. It's also my closest Alexa to my garage door, so I use it to turn on lights when I get home after the sun goes down.

    Love my Alexa puck...she’ll have 3 sisters to compliment my smart home. Living in the kitchen to help my lovely wife keep track of measurements, order ingredients, and play music for her while she cooks. Helps by keeping a shopping list for her too.

    Easy set up and works great. I've gone overboard but just too neat to not have. I control lights and switches with a few words. I can find most answers by just asking "Alexa _____________" Food, TV, Movies, she has the answer. Play music ? Just anything. Notifications? Yep. Reminders? Yep.

    Overall I think the echo dot packs a decent punch. I'm aware that a newer generation exists but for the price I couldn't pass this one up. Perfect for an apartment or smaller home, especially if you have more than one. My only complaint would be that I notice sometimes I really have to yell at it to get it's attention.

    We love the Alexa dot! It’s small, so it can be kept on the counter without getting in the way, but still provides a lot of great features. We use it as an alarm clock (with custom tones) as well as to listen to music, news, the weather, etc.

    I love my Amazing Echo Dots. They are very easy to use, and set up is a breeze. The sound quality is very nice for such a small speaker too. I love that I can group my Echo with my Echo Dots to experience sound throughout my home.

    This is a simple to setup and integral tool for use in home automation. I have it controlling lights, a smart TV, soundbar, garage door & door locks. The speaker is decent in a small space. It is also a great source for getting internet answers to questions.

    All I can say is I hope the jokes get better but it can’t bring a smile love asking about the weather the tires and controlling lights playing music is OK I bought a Bose that has Alexa in it to get a little better sound but overall good stuff thank you very much
