    Being able to add to my wifi and have alexa in a extra room is a bonus. Wifi is a lot stronger and I love it. It is a must buy.

      Hello Javi! Thank you for your feedback on the Echo Dot. While the standard Echo Dot is a smart speaker without a display, Amazon offers several options if you're looking for visual features. The Echo Spot features a compact, round 2.5-inch screen that shows the time, weather, and other information in a sleek, alarm clock-style design. For even more display capabilities, the Echo Show family offers full smart displays, including the Echo Show 5 with a 5.5-inch screen, Echo Show 8 with an 8-inch HD screen, Echo Show 10 with a 10.1-inch HD screen and motion capabilities, and the Echo Show 15 with a 15.6-inch Full HD screen. These Echo Show devices not only display the time but also support video calls, streaming content, photo displays, weather forecasts, smart home controls, and more. If having visual features is important to you, you might want to consider upgrading to either the Echo Spot or one of the Echo Show models, depending on your needs and space requirements. In the meantime, you can always ask your current Echo Dot "Alexa, what time is it?" for a verbal time announcement. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the device! AmazonDevices

    Nice looking, not too big, but the speaker does seem to be somewhat directional.

    If I hadn't waited so long to return it, I would of. Such a tedious setup. You have to be standing next to your router to install this thing. Just buy a speaker, this thing is pointless in my opinion.

    Bought this one to update the older version. So far it doesn't listen very well. I have never been a fan of these types of devices, but we use it mostly for controlling the lights and sleep sounds. I could do without it but worth it if you have all the other things you can verbally control with it.

    Bought this item for safety reasons - if I fall or can't get to a phone in an emergency, I can ask Alexa to call for help. Even brought one to work in case I am there alone. Other than that, it's pretty neat to be able to ask Alexa for information, even jokes, or to use as an alarm clock. Would recommend.
