While some users found the setup a bit challenging and noted occasional issues with Alexa's responsiveness or volume, the positive feedback on its core features outweighs these concerns. Many appreciate its use as an alarm clock and its integration with smart home devices.

    This device was a real surprise. It answers almost all of my questions. It gives me a daily summary of the news. I purchased the Amazon Library of music and it is really fun. You ask it to play any song and it plays that song. You ask it to play songs by any artist and it plays a list of songs by that artist. You can ask it to skip songs and turn up or down the volume. This is a lot of fun. One problem, I can't figure out how to use it to turn off and on lights since I can"t get a Wemo to connect to my Wify.

    Well made device that works great! Lots of neat tricks and handy functions. Really just the doorway to home automation, but an affordable one at that. In the end though, still more novelty than necessity.

    The amazon dot does everything the echo does just it a smaller form. Only down side is the acoustics aren't nearly as good as the Echo.

    I already had an Echo tower and love it. Bought the dot for Mother's Day gifts. Because it was a gift, it was extremely difficult to set up. Was not user friendly for my parents in their late 60s, early 70s.

    At this point you all know what you get with this little unit. Great introduction to the internet of things. Sounds quality for music isn’t great, but if you have a blue tooth speaker you can sync it.

    I purchased the Dot as an alarm clock / music player for my wife. We have an Echo in the kitchen. Speaker is not as good but OK and the response time is noticeably slower. The price difference makes it worth it.
