    Gifted to parents. They enjoy asking it questions to show how tech savvy they are when neighbors or family members are over. Wishing it had a wider variety of responses when you use contextual vulgarities.

    Decided to try a new smart device and I am enjoying this to play music in my bedroom. The wake up is great for an alarm clock too.

    The Echo dot is a great thing to purchase if you want a good quality speaker. The Dot allows you to play your music from Amazon or any music streaming service on the Alexa platform. Alexa herself is entertaining and allows you to "train" her through the Alexa app. If you are debating on getting this product DO NOT hesitate. DO IT now, you WON'T regret it.

    The second get Echo dot is a great device. It is even better now that it sells for $19.99! I use them everywhere to control home automation. Make sure you have good wifi coverage before you deploy them too far from your router. Don't expect to enjoy music on this device (tiny speakers) unless you use an external speaker.

    I bought me and everyone on my list one of these when they went on sale. They’re easy to get started out of the box, and connect to ur amazon prime acct. just don’t say Alexa out loud unless you need to activate the device. We’re paranoid she’s always listening!

    I have been invested in the Echo ecosystem for awhile now. I picked this up to add functionality to my kitchen. A perfect kitchen companion, the smart home, timer, and measurement converting features are killer apps. That and the hands free music playing (mine is connected to an inexpensive bluetooth speaker) a well worth the price of admission.

    Have to remember how to access skills

    I have Google Home and Alexa. With the Echo, you have to download skills for it to respond accurately, otherwise it doesn’t do much. You also have to remember what to say to access the skills, which requires having the app open. This sort of defeats the purpose because if you’re on your phone, you can usually do what you’re asking Alexa. Once you remember the skill access it does work well and it has a good speaker for its size. She has come on 3 times without prompting.

    I own the echo show, the spot and a few of these for different rooms. I use these the most. At the end of the day, Alexa is a voice assistant. And the echo dot 2nd gen has 8 microphones. That means it is very good at picking up your voice commands. I would day that picks up my voice better than the echo spot or show.
