    I have five of these and I have a farely small apartment. It’s cool to turn any lights off reguardless where I am in the apartment. I love the drop in feature where you can use your phone when you are away from home and basically call the other echo devices. Very cool especially when my daughter will not sleep.

    I already had an Echo and a Dot in my house. I wanted another Dot to put in my theater room to work with the Harmony Hub that controls all of my components. Now I can just say "Alexa turn on the TV" and it turns on all of the components and set them to the correct settings to watch TV. I also have Smartthings a home automation system that controls my house so I can say "Alexa turn on the bedroom light" and the light turns on. Of course I also use it for timers, getting weather and news updates, playing music and running many of the skills that they have now. If you want to play music on the Dot you need to connect it to a better speaker by Bluetooth or wire for sound quality. The speaker in the Dot is fine for the voice.

    I love this speaker! When purchasing a speaker I look for sound quality and this one definitely fits the bill. Being able to talk to the speaker and get answers is awesome also. Good purchase for the price.

    I purchased the dot for my husband Christimas gift. So far we still like it. It is working well with Amazon Prime account for all the music. I just wish it can be chargeable so no need to use the cord always.

    We have 2 of these in our house and use them often. We use them most often to set timers, add items to lists, research, and play music. Even though they aren't designed for music playback, if you're happy enough with tablet or phone speakers, then you'll be satisfied. We are and play music through them often.

    With the Black Friday pricing I could not resist getting more. I can walk in almost any room of my house and vocally control lighting. Love the newer group music feature as I can stream and sync the same music throughout my house, even my deck. For less than $30 much better than a blue tooth audio connection.

    Echo Dots are a great addition to any smart home. The dots are best used for personal alarm clocks or with Bluetooth speakers or plugged directly into a receiver via aux cable. You can't beat the price!
