Easy to install out of the box. Only wish is that it had some sort of battery.

Easy to install and works right ways; interacts well with other devices

Always wanted to purchase the Echo. Didn't know about the Echo Dot until I actually went to Best Buy to check out the Echo. Much smaller so it hides away very nicely. Found out after I bought it that my wife was going to buy it for me for Christmas. Oh well. We both like it. Small learning curve. Nothing comes with direction anymore. Answers most questions very quickly. Ask Alexa to start a shopping list or to do list. Add items to the lists easily. Check the weather. Favorite sports team scores. What's on your calendar. Games. Lots more.

Having Alexa around is just plain fun. While it’s very useful for keeping a family grocery list, keeping a calendar and checking news and weather it’s also fun to play games and “drop in”. Don’t know what we did before Alexa!

This is a cool little thing to have around the house. It's like having a vocal calculator or encyclopedia at your service. It even has a sense of humor! I asked it, "who you gonna call ", and it said "ghost busters "! Awesome!

Easy to use and connect with multiple phones. It understands commands easily.

I bought this gift for a friend who has many devices that are operable with Alexa. The echo dot worked perfectly for him as he had a speaker he hardly used and was able to connect it with an auxiliary cord to amplify sound. He says he uses it every day for weather, to use his Roomba and that he even bought smart lights to go under his cabinets in his kitchen.

I was very taken aback by all of Alexas abilities that she can perform. Not only does she play music she can reorder your grocery items you need.

I pay for Amazon Prime, so when I decided I wanted to buy into the "always-on smart home etc." market the dot was a clear choice. For my needs, the speaker on the dot is good enough in most cases. Audiophiles may disagree, but I don't mind. It's great to keep in my living room for asking questions, controlling my smart switches, and calling up music. Definitely a great purchase!

I have the fullsize Alexa Echo for 6months and love her! Now it was time to expand the reach of the my little impulsive side to other areas of the house. The Echo DOT is smaller and blends in just about anywhere. The sound is the only drawback to this unit. It doesnt have the Ah-mazing sound that her big sister has (Alexa Echo) but then again, she is the lil sis in size and price. So cut some slack. Great to add to Grandma's house just for the fun of it! Now grandma can ask Amazon about the weather forecast anytime she wants :)))

Very easy to setup and use. Can work with fire stick and other smart devices.

Easy to use and install, works great with hue light system, Dyson etc.

Has wonderful sound. Great pick for a speaker. Easy to use.

I love the Echo Dot. That said, I do not have a standard Echo to compare to. Since my purchase of the Echo Dot, I have written skills for Alexa and have received more Echo Dots. I now have 4 Echo Dots all over my house. Great product. Requires internet connection to be able to use any functions (even non-internet request such as set a timer). Great buy. Fun to play with.

Also have the Echo for the better sound quality but the Dot in the bedroom for quick weather, news headlines and turning on backyard security lights if my wife feels nervous about some outdoor noise. Also have a second Dot upstairs to turn on the upstairs music system and lighting. Trying to keep up with all the new features and accessories being added constantly. Good work Amazon.

Bought as a gift. Easy setup. Plays music and you can get information.

This will turn on lights before I get home to darkness. It will play my music while I cook, having stuffing on my fingers. I can't remember the name of the song, artist or movie star info, it remembers for me. I always know the weather right before I go out the door. I wonder about something and I can get the answer. This is great!!! I bought two others as gifts for close friends.

I've really enjoyed my Echo Dot. It is a daily reminder of things I need to do on a certain day and for days to come, keeps my grocery lists, plays music when I request it, tells me what the forecast is not only for my area, but anywhere I am going, gives me correct answers to questions I have (for instance, definitions of words). I really love it and I have a lot of fun using it.

We love the echo dot. It's a great addition. We ask it all types of questions. Son loves to ask it to tell him jokes so, he can use them in school
