Since purchasing my Amazon Alexa Echo Dot from Best Buy I have found so many ways to save time. Using my Echo Dot for general knowledge questions, weather updates custom to my area, setting a timer, playing Jeopardy, and so much more is available on this smart home device making the Echo Dot user friendly enough for all age groups to enjoy. More than happy with my purchase.

The things Alexa can do is pretty awesome, however a lot of update will be needed as she is not as smart is Siri, or "OK Google" also need to download the app to your device for her to work. Just be prepared if you are used to Sire or OK Google there will definitely be some hiccups. But I believe it will get there and for $40 you really can't complain too much. Made great stocking stuffers.

I have Alexa set up in different rooms in my house. I decided I needed one in my work-home office. She is great ! I can ask her to spell words as a type, weather, etc. I also have her tied to my Apple Music Account and to my Apple phone so she can even dial calls for me.

I love my echo dot! It doesn't always hear me especially when the volume is turned up all the way and it playing music but there's a button on it that is equivalent to saying "alexa" so that solves my issue. Otherwise very helpful!

Alexa is like having a child that actually minds you! She’s wonderful at remembering everything, even all the groceries I tell her to add to my list.

No more missed items at the grocery store or any other store everything you tell Alexia you need appears on your phone app. No more alarms except for Alexia's gentle tones at an appointed hour given to her each night before going to bed. No more setting a laundry timer, just say"Alexia remind me to check the dryer in 30 minutes". Stop reading this review and buy the Echo Dot now.

In the past I have purchased 4 of theses. Now I have just purchased an additional 4. The are great! Once you get used to asking Alexa for the time, date, weather, news, music, your favorite radio station, kitchen timers, reminders, etc, you will not want to be without one. I also found this was a help for my aging mother to find out what day it is, etc.

I bought the Echo Dot to supplement my full size Echo. The sound quality is not as good, but that is to be expected with a smaller speaker. It is great for getting information and controlling smart plugs and other smart devices.
