This has been a great buy! Cheap and easy intro into voice assistants and if you have a speaker already, you don't need to buy the full Echo. Easy to set up and use, and fun to figure out what it can do.

I bought some of these units to put in different rooms of my house. They work great. For a higher quality sound I paired some of them with Bluetooth speakers.

This product has practically the same capabilities as the bigger unit, Amazon Echo and yet so tiny. It was easy to install and is my personal assistant answering questions on a variety of topics!

Love the newest things, although Echo has been out for awhile, I found after looking and buying Google Home that Echo fit better with what we are wanting to do. It is a little picky on the exact wording, like when wanting to turn off a certain light. A little bit of a learning curve to remember to use Echo. Kids keep turning the switches off and they need to be on the ON position for Echo to do her thing. Love that you can tell it to add a event, reminder and it will. Love that you can ask what is happening on such and such a date, and if you have a calendar linked it will tell you.
Asking her some questions she doesn't seem to learn. So lots of repetition of questions having to be asked. You can't say, like after asking about a movie, say who played in it. Echo doesn't seem to know what you are talking about. Overall like it, not to sure I love it. but for the price not to bad, its the extra stuff to make this the great product that is costly, lights, nest, door bell. So could probably have lived with out it.

Alexa is awesome for 39.00, lots of apps and connect to most blue tooth and some wifi accessories, she can answer most questions and plays music which is loud enough for at least one room in your house.

Small and clean finish. I use it a lot for alarms, reminders and checking the weather on the fly. Don't think i'd pay full pop for it though (picked up two while they were 50% off). I might feel differently once I set it up with a few smart thermostats and my smart TV...

I received this as a free gift. I didn't know how I was going to like it so it was 3 months before I used it. OMG I use it everyday. I discover something new everyday

The Echo Dot has become an indispensable part of my daily routine. From questions about the weather to controlling the AC and my music - are all handled through the amazingly accurate voice control.

I brought this for my 9 year old grand child, and its great she gets to call me, and vice versa. She also uses it for an alarm, and to help define words while she is doing her homework.

I love the Echo Dot. It's an amazing voice assistant that's easy to use. The price, at $50, is unbeatable, and is a great gift for others. Strongly recommend if you're even remotely interested in it.

For the price of this echo, it's provided hours of entertainment! My 2 yr old granddaughter loves hearing the ABC's and I love having my lights turn off and on, totally worth the price! I LOVE it!

I have been enjoying using the Echo-Dot. We use it as a family to check on the weather, play Pandora, get newsflash updates, and setting alams for when we are cooking, baking, or letting the dog out.
