My grand daughter loves Alexa, she likes telling it to turn on the lights and to play Mickey Mouse radio.

Alexa is fun and she knows everything. I like her in the echo dot because she is small and fits anywhere.

Works like a charm, especially coupled with my Nest thermostat and Hue lighting systems. Echo made my smart home brilliant.

I have to say both my wife and I love the Dot- we now own two. It is brilliant for connecting to bluetooth speakers and playing music. It is also very good for things like the weather.... and you can add 'skills' (similar to apps on a smart phone), but this is where it falls down in my opinion. You have to remember for each 'skill' you add, how to ask Alexa. These often have to be done in a very specific way, using the name of the 'skill' and quite frankly it is a nightmare trying to remember them all. You also get varying results from these 'skills' (but there is a list of top rated and most of those are good/do work).
I wish it would answer questions like google's version

It’s a really easy to install assistant and was well worth the 29.99! Only problem I see is the issues amazon has to resolve with google such as using YouTube with Alexa... simple as that

Love this product. It can find any music you ask for the only down side is you have subscribe to a music program to get the full benefit. I enjoy asking random questions. Also use it as an alarm.

Bought the large device and this as a package deal. The price was better, so made it worth it. Mostly use alexa for listening to music. So far haven't had much use for other features.
