    I am not normally a "tech head" but I am overly impressed with the Echo Dot. We purchased two of them along with an Echo and love the convenience that they bring. I love being able to use them like an intercom system throughout the house. It make getting the kids up for school super easy. I also love using them to play music and order items on Amazon. I am sure I have just scratched the surface on their capabilities.

    What a great addition to our house. This brought home automation to those of us who are not super tech-savvy or electrical engineers by trade. This was so easy to setup and streaming music to a Bluetooth speaker makes for great music while we eat our family dinners. We added Phillips Hue light bulbs and also the Samsung smart things to have voice-controlled outlets (Christmas lights). Pairing all of this with Alexa was a breeze!

    I bought one for myself and my mom really liked it, so I got her one too. She is 76 years old and has arthritis which makes it difficult for her to turn knobs and push buttons.. With the echo she can use voice commands to set her alarm clock, get the latest weather, news and play all of her favorite music. This great for seniors who have trouble with mp3 players, because they can just ask alexa to play the songs they want.

    I have a full size Amazon Echo in my living room so I bought this DOT to go in the bedroom. It works well and the volume level is quite good given how small the unit is.

    I really like the echo dot. If you have amazon unlimited music I highly recommend the echo! You can tell it to play whatever song you want. My biggest problem is the speaker doesn't get very loud. If you want to listen to music I suggest the bigger Echo.

    Fun but has a few issues.

    I bought the echo because it was bundled with the fire stick. I didn't know what it was until I opened it but now that I have it I love it. It is a lot of fun and could be very useful with the expansion like the hue lights and such. The issues I have found are nothing huge just it tends to disconnect from my Bluetooth phone making it so you can't stream music and such without stopping to reconnect it. Also my two year old talks to Alexa and she has commented things a two year old might not need to hear. Such as playing the song thong song as a more mild example. It is cool because it has games and you can ask it multiple things. Another issue is that it will randomly butt into conversations in the room if it thinks it heard you say Alexa. Which can be really funny or annoying depending on the situation. Overall I highly recommend Alexa just be cautious with children.

    I procrastinated on trying this device out for quite some time. I am very glad I finally bought the Dot. I learn something new it can do for me almost every day. Tells me the weather, news, traffic any time I ask. I even found I can use it as a timer which I use more than I would have ever thought, it will even tell you a joke if you ask. Best Cool Tool I have got in a long time. I would highly recommend this. Great time saver.

    I love my Dot! Alexa is very helpful with reminders and news updates. There have been times that she doesn't catch all that I say, but will catch it the second time. This is a pint size, so don't expect the speaker to be super loud, but it is loud enough for my decent size apartment (which is 755sqft). The sound quality is good, but not all that, so I wouldn't use it for parties either. All in all, it's a helpful little device.

    I like how I can ask about the weather or get a news briefing while I am getting ready in the morning. I know there is a lot more that I could use this for, but I find it is the simple things that are timesavers that I keep coming back to. Good product.
