Got this for free with a Ring purchase. It was fun to use at first but gets less use now. I like being able to connect to the kids in their rooms or send out messages to the all at once. When they ignore phone calls you can drop in to see what is going on while you are gone.

Simple to set up with the Alexa app and it just works. I'm using it for simple things like shopping lists, lights, and alarm clock. I know it does more but for a cheap price it's doing what I need it to do. The sound isn't stereo quality but hey - that's not what it's geared to be.

Good if you know how to download the Alexa apps and understand what each one is for so you don’t get the wrong ones that tie up your phone. The glarity that she understands with is great. I almost never repeat myself. Just gets the apps you need. Check reviews for the app, it helps

Picked up on sale and likely the best overall home automation device in this price range available today. Combined with all the Alexa skills and HUE lights, this second generation dot from Amazon is amazing.

The Echo dot has been an excellent addition to my smart home project. Does everything through Alexa that the full size Echo does in a compact package that requires nothing additional to accomplish the same tasks

This product is great for the money we spent. It is fun for all ages. We love to ask the fun fact of the day, weather updates, stream music or ask for a joke. The sound quality is also great for such a small item!

Bought the Dot when it was on sale before the holidays. Happy I did as they seem to be more expensive and harder to get these days. Works well but I recommend you hook up a portable speaker to increase the volume.

Alexa is one of the best home assistants and this one is no exception. Except that it is super awesome to get it on a budget.

It is great for controlling Alexa devices and you can put it just about anywhere without taking too much space and if you use adapters for usb outlet it looks very futuristic and integrated.

I am very impressed by this little device not only is it reasonable priced but the technology inside it outstanding. Please consider purchasing Alexa before any other Voice assistant, you will not be disappointed.

I already have an Amazon Echo in my living room but I thought my bedroom would benefit from the Echo Dot. Both devices work better than I expected. The only difference is that the dot has a less dynamic speaker so I connected my Bose B/T speaker to it. I now use the dot as my primary alarm and music streamer.

Great Intro to Smart Home

Short version: this is a great option to test the waters of smart assistants in the home without breaking the budget.
I read countless reviews before buying the Echo Dot and had my own preconceptions about it. I figured it'd be a fun gadget to link with my Sensi connected thermostat and control my music. It does everything as advertised with a relatively simple setup. What I didn't expect was that my girlfriend would take to using it for kitchen timers, audiobooks, buy me a smart light, and end up using it more than I do. Audio quality sounds ok, but it pairs with my Bluetooth home theater system for serious listening. If you don't have a Bluetooth sound system, you might want to consider the full sized Echo that sounds MUCH better.

I love my Echo Dot. I can listen to music, get news updates, even control my entertainment system through my Harmony hub. I can also leave messages for friends and family who have Echo too.
Excellent device.
