The wife and I love our Alexa dot. We bought it for our bedroom and find ourselves using it more and more.

I ordered this after purchasing the Echo. Which is great! The Echo Dot also was purchased later. Use the Dot in the bedroom. Makes a great morning alarm plus music day or night. These are great gadgets for a home.

Love this device- especially when you connect to a bluetooth speaker. Kids love calling it to play all their music. Great use as an alarm clock and calendar too. Bonus free shipping through Amazon Prime too!

This is a great addition to my Echo and another Dot ... we have the dots around the house and have become very friendly with "Sarah" !!! She has a wealth of knowledge and is very quick to respond to inquiries, including local weather, sports scores and schedules, history, any many other inquiries. Love the addition!!!

I added this to my sound bar in living room via Bluetooth and now we can enjoy our music with all the volume we want. It’s a fun add on to our echo we have in the kitchen. Making a group with the two allows for music to be in multiple places. Also enjoy the ability to “drop in” and talk to the family if I’m not home.

I own 2 and bought this one and another for my mother who is in her 80's so she can primarily use it to create shopping lists that will load automatically to the iPhone I gave her. Doing it manually is too hard for her and the autocorrect drives her crazy. Giving to her xmas but I know it will be a timesaver for her.

No issues...Note the sund quality is rather plan not like the Echo, but works. Be sure to update every so often. Just unplug the power cord wait 30 seconds plug the cord back in, if there is a update the unit will up date automatically. Over all it’s great product. You will be required to have a Prime account to use.

I can hook my echo dot to a blue tooth speaker I already own and the music sounds great, which is the best way to use it. I get my news and weather each morning and then listen to music while I am in the shower.

Bought it when it was on sale over the Holidays. Doesn't sound as good as the full size echo but considering it's size it does sound great. All of the same functions as the full size echo for way less.

Love the Echo Dot. It finds and plays songs from any artist as I ask. It wakes me up and gives me the present temperature as well as the days forecast. I am still just at the tip of the iceberg of all it can do.

It’s a good speaker for the price and the size, just need to be realistic, don’t expect a great quality from such a small speaker. I own a few of them and have them installed in different rooms at my house mostly because my daughter likes to listen to music while doing her things. We have also used them to call each other when we are in different rooms or when too lazy to open the phone and we need to research something. I know there is a lot more you can do with this little thing such as controlling your lights and more but I’m not too savvy on technology.

So far, I am enjoying my Alexa echo dot. Not only for the ability to play music, but also to have a virtual assistant to tell me the weather when I get up, provide news summaries, instantly set timers and alarms, etc. I am still figuring out all the ways I can use my assistant. All I have to do is ask Alexa.
