Great accessory to full size Echo. Didn't realize that this was a stand alone device though.

What can I say, I'm hooked on Alexa. She feeds me weather and news every morning. So convenient to use its stupid. Have bought a few of these as gifts and everyone's first response is "why the heck did you buy me this?" Then, after about a week they praise it. It's comical to watch the cycle.

The Dot works well. I have it paired with a nice Bluetooth speaker and it seems to do all right with pairing on its own or with instruction. The key to making Alexa more useful are skills, of which there are still a limited number of useful ones, but the number is growing. It catches and understands most requests but once in while it will respond to "ghost prompts" if there is a lot of audible activity in the room.

Alexa does not seem to have answers to a lot of questions, and It does not seem to be compatible with any of my appliances

This is a great buy! I bought this around Christmas time and it’s a great assistant. You can ask Alexa anything, weather, time, etc. It will also play music playlists, and play trivia games. I would definitely recommend this if you are on the fence. Unless your name is Alexa lol

I was given an Echo Dot by my employer for Christmas, and purchased two more for a home bound aunt and the pastor of my wife's church. This is the most revolutionary gadget I've ever seen at such a low cost. We explore new things using the Dot every day. I can't recommend this highly enough.

I bought the Echo Dot as a gift for my parents along with a smart outlet. I was able to help them sync up their new “smart home” devices and teach them to use them in a less than an hour. They really love Alexa (and so do the grandkids) and are considering more smart home devices.

Echo dots are good for listening to music or getting answers to any questions

This is a really cool use of artificial intelligence. Amazon bought Ring and integrates it nicely to our TV. Each time I wonder who rang the doorbell or alerted our Ring, I ask Alexa to show it up on the TV and we can see the doorbell from our living room TV.

Love this thing i am working on upgrading my house to witless and this is the control device

Cool mini tool. Easy setup and easy to use. Easy connection to Bose speaker.

You can control your lights, listen music and control other devices, good for the price!

Can ask her anything and she can play from iheart too. Easy setup with app.

My kids love their echo dot. It's simple and assists with the small things.

We gave this as a gift. These are good for amazon fans.

It a good hub to use as a tie in with several home automation products. Working well in general and is good with several commands when use with Nest themostat, Blossom Lawn sprinkler control box. The only drawback is that some of the commands have to be exact phrasing of requests. But I guess part of the problem is just that you need at times to speak clearly at all times. But I rate a 8 out of 10 overall.

every day i ask her the weather. i ask her how my commute to work will be. i always bonce measurement conversions off her. i love to not have to get up to turn on the lights in the house anymore. she controls the thermostat when im hot or cold. very cool for only $40

The Amazon dot is great just for fun, but it is also incredibly useful. It’s great to say “Alexa play” any album you can think of, and she does. My favorite feature is her alarm clock. I’ve had alarm clocks and phone alarms fail me my whole life, but Alexa has been 100% reliable.

Perfect for a preteen show lovers that or also holds up to her Amazon tv.

Easily accessible and allows voice command for your smart home. great product.
