    I didn't know how easy it would be to set up this device. I was wondering what it would do. I bought a light bulb and now - I don't have to get out of bed to turn the light off. Sometimes, I do believe Alexa is hard of hearing me. Still - I am enjoying talking with Alexa

    The Echo Dot came free with a smart TV I purchased for my 80-YO mom. She's used the TV to watch "Hamilton" (more than a dozen times) and now she's using the Echo Dot to play the soundtrack with the voice recognition. Yes, she knows all the lyrics and sings along. She's a trained singer, and kills it! She's playing lots of other music now, too. The Echo Dot is making it so simple for her to have so much joy.

    I purchased a fire tv and echo dot. Alexa works seamlessly with my fire tv. took a little web research to connect the tv with alexa, but once connected there have been no issues. I set the tv to turn on with the cable and my elderly mother has no trouble tuning to the channels she wants. She has a bit of a learning curve with Alexa, but she is doing better.

    Easy to set up and recognizes my voice. Doesn't take up much room on my end table which I like. I have this set up in my living room and notice that it will light up at random times.

    Bought for my daughter for Christmas to sync to the echo dot 4th gen I bought as well. I never owned smart home devices. I was surprised when I checked out both of ours came with a smart bulb which I have both in my bedroom overhead light and we all love telling her to turn on and off the bedroom lights or to dim them a %. My daughter hasn't received hers yet. But shes loving playing with mine.

    I bought this because it was on sale, and thought it might be fun, and maybe I'd use the speaker. I set it up in my home office with the plan on moving it to the kitchen to surprise the kids.....and I immediately liked it so much that I bought another......and another. And now I'm waiting for the echo with clock to show up as I can't find a decent regular one, so why not? Listen to music from one end of the house to another, control multiple lights and smart outlets, intercom called from the garage when I needed something, Drop In with the boys for dinner or the pure joy of annoyance or to just reach the other for a simple question, typed a message from the car when I got home and needed help with groceries and all the Echoes announced it. My son plays trivia games while he cooks, I crack myself up with Princess Bride references, and I convinced my supervisor to buy one for herself.

    I have an echo dot in almost every room around the house. Once connected to the internet there is almost nothing this smart device can not do. If I leave my iPhone or iPad upstairs I can rely on the echo dot to still turn on and off lights, adjust the thermostat, set the security alarm, add dates, appointments and notes to my synced calendar and notes. I can page people in other rooms instead of healing around the house. It literally connects to almost everything my phone does. Such as Spotify, pandora, amazon, xm radio, even my phone through the Alexa app. It’s a welcomed addition to my apple home. For those that may be skeptical, give a try you’ll like the compatibility and versatility it has with apple and androids.

    Just bought a new home in South Carolina. Purchased two of these to cover the new house. Setup was easy as I already have an Alexa setup at my phone in NY. The best part, using the “Alexa - Drop-In” feature, I can drop in and talk to my wife and dogs In NY, without picking up the phone.
