    I find the Dot to be great! I own the Echo, but wanted similar things you can achieve with the Echo available to me in my bedroom. I read reviews where others complained of the speaker on the Dot not being adequate for their needs. That has not been my experience. I've found the speaker to be fine. I'm obviously not blasting music or "into" treble and bass, but the volume control and quality of the speaker is great for me. My bedroom isn't small nor is it huge, but the volume I can achieve with the Dot is perfect! If you also aren't a music "geek," for lack of a better term, and you've hesitated getting the Dot because of the speaker volume - DON'T hesitate. It's fine!

    It took me about three minutes to set this up, and it works great. I hooked it up to a small tube amp (from Monoprice), and now have it pumping out tunes from Spotify. Works great, sounds great.

    I own an Echo which works great but was tired of carrying it room to room. Purchased two Echo Dots. These work just the same as the regular Echo and was able to but two for $50.00 which was a steal. Love the ability to have Alexa in multiple rooms without having to unplug and plug the Echo.

    The Echo Dot is a small but effective way to get into the world of Amazon Alexa. The Dot is a great voice assistant with timers and alarms, its very convenient to keep track of time. With IFTTT, you can add control from your Dot to many other devices,i.e., lights and plugs. And of course, there are countless questions you can ask Alexa like “what’s the weather?” or “what does my morning commute look like?” And for fun you can ask it something like “why is my son being such a knucklehead?” Technically, I haven’t had any issues with the Dot. It doesn’t drop internet connection and reconnects quickly if my router “hiccups”. It also reconnects quickly to any devices its controlling. Keep in mind, to be fair, the Dot was not designed to give great sound even when connected to external speaker(s). Its not a sound system... Just beware, I liked the Dot so much it convinced me to spend 6 times more for the Echo Show!!!

    Great little speaker for travel. Love that I can ask her about weather, time difference, etc. Kinda like Siri, but better. Also syncs to my Pandora & Spotify so I can play my music playlists and not have to do it all via computer, set up a speaker, etc. Just bring along the Echo!

    This item works as promised. It is fun to use and a great value when compared to the full-size Echo. Easy to hook up to external speaker, but the sound isn't bad at all without an external speaker. The only reason I gave it four stars is that I wish it was rechargeable, cordless option.

    This was the fourth Echo Dot that I've purchased. The first ones were for my home, and this was purchased to be used in a nursing home for a relative. I was afraid it might not work well in that invironment, with so many other devices connected to the Wi-Fi system. But it works flawlessly.

    Having a little fun with the title, but she does sometimes have hearing issues. Putting that aside we love our Echo and use it at least 5 or 6 times a day. We ask her the weather before opening the windows or leaving the house (to know if we need our jackets or not), we play a daily trivia game, I call my grandam long distance (which is no longer long distance, since we just call Echo to Echo), and we ask her a ton of random questions. Not to mention all of the timers she is asked to set. Not many people might think of this, but we also use our Echo as a sound machine/alarm clock. It plays all night and has lots of sounds to choose from. And in the morning you can be briefed on whatever news (or nonsense) you want Alexa to tell you everyday. You choose! We also use our Echo with Amazon Prime Music to play various unlimited commercial free playlists with a bluetooth speaker. Its perfect in the summer months!
