Great smart home device for the price but no replacement for its bigger siblings, one great use for these inexpensive smart devices is a wireless in home or long distance intercom system.

The sound is ok, but expected for the size. It seems to be able to do the same things as it more expensive counterparts and competition. Bought this for my son for Christmas and it is a hit so far.

Bought this for my dad for Christmas - he’s enjoying it so much we’ll probably upgrade so he can control his lights

This is my 2nd echo dot and you get what you pay for. The sound quality isn't near as good as the Echo Plus, but it definitely does the job for basic personal assistant tasks.

I like it! It's nice to have near the kitchen when I'm cooking and can ask Alexa to play music or ask a question!

So far I’m enjoying Alexa! And the price for such innovative technology is magnificent. For small spaces, the speaker isn’t as bad as I’ve read in previous reviews. So far I’m loving it!

We currently own a few other of these devices. We were satisfied to the point that we felt like It was a no brainer! It prompted us to invest in another.

Play music through it, check the weather, get news updates. I don’t purchase anything from amazon through Alexa. Fun to have, I would recommend it but only if you’re paying a sale price

Keep this next to me on the nightstand. Nice to wake up and just speak to hear music or watch tv. Once you start using it you will wonder why they still make remote controls.

Alexa is the best

Alexa...oh, where do I start. To begin with, your mind numbing capacity for facts and weather astound me to my very core. That fact coupled with your sleek and shiny exterior make for an interesting night every night. I applaud your each and every attempt to find the correct solution even when that pesky wireless cloud does not wander into your domain, my queen. I leave you with this tantalizing morsel of advice: do not submerge her in water or else she shall fail your every intention.

The Echo Dot is the perfect addition to Alexa. The small footprint makes it a natural for bedrooms and finished basements.
