    My son got one for me for x-mas and I liked it so well I bought another. One in the bedroom, one in the living area. Great functionality and it will only get better. Easy setup and it simply just works.

    I already had an echo. Wanted another for the bedroom. Great to listen to radio in the morning and set up items for my todo list or shopping list. Can also get news updates, weather and traffic. Love it.

    We put these in almost every room...we can control so many things with them. Also fun to tell the downstairs dot to play Good Day Sunshine in our teenager's room to wake him up. ;) Easy to use

    I purchased the Echo Dot for my husband for Christmas and he absolutely loves it! We use Alexa to find out sports' scores, random trivia questions, weather and to play music from our favorite station.

    Impressive Technology

    I have used this product in my home office to ask for news weather. I have an Echo in the bedroom. The only difference is that the speaker is not as good. It is very portable as well. I have taken it with me on some of my travels. I have used it as an alarm clock and for weather reports and news. It is helpful to do so when getting ready before a meeting/conference to get the information handsfree. It was a good value at around $50, but has been advertised on sale for about $40. There are skills that it can do that are also interesting, such as Geo Quiz, Tonight Show Skill that will play the opening monologue.. It is impressive that you can ask for music to be played from just a partial lyric.

    It's more of a novelty in our house. I bought it for the alarm clock. It's awesome that it plays Pandora when it goes off instead of an annoying looping sound. We have 3 of them.

    The Echo Dot Black works great. I also have an Echo Dot white. I have occasionally had them confused. I renamed one of them Echo instead of Alexa and the confusion went away.

    I bought this to see what all the hype was about... now I love it. Every morning it tells me the news and weather, and in the evening its used to turn on the gazebo led strips and to play triva quizes.

    With Alexa voice control, Echo dot is a must have piece of technology for your smart house. It doesn’t have all the enhance functions like the more expensive models but it does the job.

    This is just a novelty until you actually start incorporating smart home devices. When combined with Nest, August, Smart Lights, Chamberlain, and multi-device audio, these devices are awesome.

    When discussing what skills are available on Amazon’s Alexa platform, we often find ourselves referring to it as “the house guest” so as not to wake it up. We are really enjoying the Echo Dot.
