    This was my first amazon control product other than my fire stick. I love this little thing! The sound quality is amazing! I would definitely get one for every room! I ended up getting the echo plus because I loved the dot so much!

    While you need to learn the commands, once you have it set up and communicating with your various components properly, it is quite seamless. Small size makes it easy to place in a non-conspicuous location (behind a picture, plant, etc).

    Fun & useful for any music on Amazon prime, setting timers & alarms, news, weather, lots of free programs to amuse an educate - all on voice command! It learns to understand your voice quickly and is fairly accurate. Nice piece of technology!

    Echo dot is a very useful device. Stand alone and it's even get way better when you have smart home devices connected to it. You literally don't have to lift a finger to get things done. Just tell Alexa what you'd like to be done and that's it.

    One of the first questions people usually ask when talking about an Echo Dot is what would you really use it for. We actually have 4 Dots in our home. You can ask questions such as measurement conversions, what the weather is like, and many more. We have ours liked to our Samsung Smarthings hub and can use voice commands to turn lights on and off. You can add "Skills" just by going in the Amazon Alexa app. Some the the skills we use are: Sleep Sounds - you can have you Echo Dot play sounds like rain or the ocean to help you go to sleep, SiriusXM - if you have a subscription to SiriusXM you can use the Echo Dot like a receiver, just say Alex play 80s on 8, Hyundai Blue like - I can use the Echo Dot to start my Elantra and even have the temperature set for when I get in. There are so many more skills that I haven't even looked at yet.

    With all the hype, I expected to ask myself how I lived without Alexa. But I haven't. It's a handy device for turning my home automation devices on and off. But for seeking general information, I don't generally find it easier to use than pulling up a browser or phone. However, it's a well-executed device for what it is and the price is right.

    Great item. Has all of the features of a full size Echo, for a lot less money, just without the large speaker. The included speaker is adequate for a small room, but if you plan on using it to listen to music, you'll need to attach a better speaker.

    I have an Echo in the main living area/kitchen open space and purchased a few Echo Dots to use throughout my house--bedroom and bathrooms. Love pairing it with my bluetooth speaker and getting the news and playing music while I wake up or get ready.
