Needed it to connect to my sonos system. Now works like a charm. Voice commands from across the room work flawlessly. Great addition!

I have only used it for basic things as I've only had it a couple of days. Looking forward to setting up my lights to use with Alexa.

The Echo Dot is an amazing voice command device that's not only easy to use it can assist every household from setting a timer/ alarm, to answering trivia and general knowledge questions, playing your choice of music to updates on the weather A must have in every home. All the family use the device for updates on sports, to what's playing on the theater.

Great product! Love being able to tell it a specific artist I want to listen to and have it play without ever having to touch anything. The timer and alarm feature is also very handy. I used the timer a lot over the holidays for cooking. It can be used without an additional speaker but I would highly recommend getting a larger speaker for better sound quality.

Best $30 I ever spent (on tech anyway). Makes simple things like setting a timer even easier. Just tell it what to do and it works.

Echo dot is like having a personal assistant at your beck and call. Alexa wakes me up, tells me what the weather will be like so I may dress accordingly, plays music to set the tone for the day, plays games with me, helps to build my vocabulary, orders food and so much more. She saves time and money and I can't imagine life without her!

I actually bought this as a gift for my wife who, for the most part, had no interest in home automation whatsoever. But now that she has it, she uses it on a daily basis! Easy to setup and use. Minimal footprint. Dependable functionality that is always expanding. Only concern is that the sound quality isn't spectacular - but you really can't expect that from such a small device either. (Besides, you CAN pair with bigger speakers if you really need it.)

Alexa has been a great addition to our home, she can do so much more than people even realize! The amount of skills she can acquire are mind boggling. I will probably buy another one for the 2nd level of our house as well. We utilize music play, weather and news briefing all the time. Bluetooth pairing is almost effortless! Love love love our echo dot!

My entire family uses the Alexa including my 5 year-old and 14 year old daughters. It reads bedtime stories to my little one and plays music and help with homework questions for my oldest. My husband and I linked it to our lights throughout our house as well as our alarm system. We love it and will buy more in the future!

I absolutely LOVE my Echo Dot! It is amazing. Plays music on IHeart radio for free, sets my alarm, answers questions about anything and everything, gives me weather reports and even tells me to sleep well at night and good morning in the morning. The next Era in personal assistants.
