Am really new at this new technology, but the Echo Dot was really easy to set up. It comes in handy with things to do around the house, playing music and even playing games.

I’m enjoying my small Alexa so much that I’m going to purchase a bigger after Christmas. This is a unique product and I also purchased one for each of my kids for Christmas.

How did I live without the Dot and Alexa?! I love being able to control things in my house by just asking Alexa. Playing music, controlling outlets, etc. Setup was easy too.

At first I thought this was going to be just another hardly used toy but after a month I realize how useful this item is. Whenever any info is needed like weather or sports scores this thing is very useful. Works very well but sometimes does not get my question right or gives some unrelated answer. Rapidly has become a go to tool that I wonder how I lived without! Hooks to my Vizio sound bar with Bluetooth flawlessly for great music too

I have a total of 4 Echo Dots around the house to provide voice control of lights, thermostats, garage door, and whole house audio systems. Easy to setup and works very well.

I bought this for my father-in-law. His health and mobility are declining so we thought this would help him control his tech products. In his mid 80's he loves new technology so this intrigued him and helped make his life a bit easier. He loves it so I do too.

Love this small compact unit. I have the Amazon large tower and the Amazon Show. I like the Dot for my bedroom and can ask to have it wake me to chosen music at a set time.

I purchased this along with the 2nd gen echo. They work seamlessly together along with other compatible smart home products. I have had to make sure these are at least a few rooms apart. I placed this one in the office while the echo rest inside the kitchen.

We have 3 of these in our house. It's about the size of a hockey puck but sounds much bigger, but by adding a bluetooth speaker, it fills the game room with a great sound, plus controlling the a/c, stereo, lights, and answering inane question from my drunk friends playing pool. 3 of these (amazon DOT, + the Amazon Echo, and the Amazon tap. All have their own advantages and drawbacks, but the pluses far outnumber the minuses.

Wanted to be able to turn lights off in bedroom but 1st Alexa was located too far away. Rather than buy a speaker, it was cheaper to buy another Echo for. Works wonderfully

I had google home before this, although it was great i actually returned it and bought 3 alexas with the same money. She might not be great at searching like Google home but she does have way more skills and most importantly to me she plays music and has Bluetooth. I definitely recommend it to anyone that wants a smart assistant. And if you aren't sure which way to go like I was i suggest you try google home first then try Alexa.

Got this on a lark. I didn't really know how useful it might be. But after having in now for a month, it continues to show new ways it can be helpful. And we got it on sale at Best Buy during Christmas, so at that price, it was even better. We can put all kinds of new functions into it, and more will come. Our semi-invalid mother-in-law really loves it because she can ask all kinds of questions and get good answers. Great purchase.
