    On the Dot

    We received this Echo Dot when we purchased a Ring Doorbell. It's our third Echo device (we also have an Echo and an Echo Show), and like the others, it performs admirably. And I was pleasantly surprised with the sound quality, given that it's such a small device. If you're looking to stick your toe into the Echo waters, and don't want to spend a lot of the money your first time out, the Dot is a great place to start.

    I’ve never been good with technology, but this is super easy to set up and use. I still haven’t even used all her features but I love how she can make the shopping list for me and I can view and check off items at the store. I can’t wait to slowly connect everything thru Alexa

    For the money, the echo spot is a great product. After receiving it as a Christmas present, the echo spot has truly brought me into smart home market. You are able to download your contacts to the spot to make calls. The echo spot is very interactive. It can tell you things that you ask such as, “What is capital of California?” And many more. The many different features make it perfect for anyone on your Christmas list.

    The sound quality is improved greatly from the previous generation. Great price to introduce Alexa to your household. Easy to set up, easily control smart switches such as lights, and stream music.

    I really like the 3rd generation echo dot. It is a leaps and bounds improvement over the 1st and 2nd generation echo dots. Amazon even offers a wall mount on their website for the speakers, hopefully Best Buy will carry them soon. Alexa isn't always the best, she doesn't always have the answer or respond properly, but as a speaker it certainly packs a punch. The Echo Dot is a great component of a full home Alexa setup.

    What can I say about Alexa? Alexa is the best gift I received for Christmas from Best Buy. It manages all my voice requests efficiently. I recommend it because it’s also hands free. You need Alexa when you are busy with other non-hands free projects

    This has been one of the best investments we have purchased for our home. From setting alarms, reminders, Wi-Fi calling, using it as intercom with the drop in feature, to playing music, getting information from the web and simply asking for time and weather, this device has added smiles to my children's daily activity. Highly recommending this item and would have purchased again if I don't have 3 more on standby.

    Having speakers that listen when you’re not asking them to is, frankly, creepy. But the ability to play music throughout my home and control my lights with my voice, I adore! You can turn off their mics if you feel the listening to you is weird too, you press the button and the ring turns red to let you know it’s not listening. Great alternative to Sonos, a lot cheaper! I’ve loved mine so much I bought five of them!
