    Big fan. Just get one and you'll be intrigued. Get a few and group them and it's better. Add devices you can control (plugs, light bulbs (including brightness and color), security camera, sprinklers, garage door, fans, etc.) and you'll be hooked. Add IFTT controls (mine turns my lights blue when BYU wins their game), setup routines (I say "Alexa Emergency" and every light turns on, the show turns to full volume, then it issues a warning (intruder alert, the security footage has been sent to the cloud, the cops have been called. Intruder alert--then it plays LOUT sirens). Now you are cool.

    Very simple to set up, this device has surprisingly good sound quality for its size. We're having lots of fun with thing. So much, that we bought a second one.

    We have about 5 of these throughout the house. Easy to use, good sound if you're listening to music and a must have if you're into Alexa.

    Works as expected, responds pretty well even with my accent. It's not a top of the line speaker but it's also not exactly meant for picking out gunfire in a competitive FPS, and music sounds good on it. Easily connected to any devices I have.

    The Amazon Echo Dot. Setup overall was a breeze. Downloaded the app. to my phone. I’ve also paired my echo to my tv, and added a smart lightbulb to the echo device. I’m a tech guy so I like little gadgets that make everyday things much easier.

    Great small size, fits anywhere. Fast and does everything I ask it to. I have Sirius XM and it seamlessly added it to Alexa. Skills are easy to add also.

    Price is great when this is on sale and works with most of my smart home devices. Sound quality is too boomy compared to gen 2. Response is a bit slower than gen 2, but overall look is more refined. It is physically bigger than the previous generation. Great as a gift as well.

    I got this for Christmas more as a speaker for music. But there are things that I asked of Alexa that I didn't think she could actually do. Without reading a huge book of what you can do with it, you can just try asking her to do things and mostly she can. You can have her call people, set a timer for that pizza in the oven, even play music, but turn off after a period of time. I'm still learning the capabilities of three echo Dot. As for sound quality (cause I know that's what everyone wants to know) I will say it's pretty good, but at the same time, I have nothing to compare it to.

    I had a generation 1 Alexa and this version is by far superior in size, design and speakers. Its so loud I sometimes forget its not connected to my surrounded sound system. The only negative I have is when I have the sink running or kitchen vent going she doesn't fully understand me.

    Great hands free device that makes life just a tad more enjoyable. Easily connects to wifi and set up was simple enough, although you never really stop setting up because there are so many devices that it can set up with and connect to. I have 2 set up with a 3rd still in the box. My teenage kids enjoy asking Alexa questions and hearing its quirky, smart alec answers. It can tell you jokes, set reminders, connect to your calendar and emails and so on and so on. Already planning on getting my kids each 1 for their rooms. Endless possibilities!
