    Tells day and time, reads a bedtime story, adds items to shopping list, and tells of duplicate items. Reads scriptures. Sets timers for cooking, exercising, counts from 1-100, and 100-1. With required added apps - will turn on and off lights and INTERCOM into individual rooms or all rooms at the same time. ADDICTIVE!!!!!!!!!!

    Got this free with another purchase and was going to give to a family but decided to try it out for fun. I plan on keeping it. I have already ordered smart plugs & lights. I used the dot along with Alexa app to set up lights, shopping lists, music & alarm. Had no plan on paying a monthly fee for music but found out my SiriusXM package for my car can be set up through the app to play on the dot. A plus. Now that I am using it I wish I had the Show 5, only because it has a 5” screen. The dot 3rd generation is a great product & if u do not need a screen you won’t be disappointed.

    Control various devices just by asking Alexa! And gives you information quickly and efficiently. It's a gadget you dont know you need until you don't have it! Simple home automation with select and additional devices (smart hubs). Sound is good too for such a small speaker, bluetooth enabled. I have 2 in my home and I think they are great.

    With a mixture of Echo Dot, Show and Echo devices in different rooms we have the ability to verbally control smart home devices from anywhere in the house. The ability to listen music across all devices is also one of the main features we use. After that we like just asking Alexa ridiculous questions just to see what kind of response we get. Love and enjoy this product!

    Works as advertised. I have the Amazon power outlet, and it works every time with Alexa. In order to use it you have to download the Echo app on your phone, and sign in with your Amazon account. And in order to listen to music, you must have an account with Spotify, Pandora, Amazon Music, etc.

    I love this little thing! I haven't had one before and was hesitant about hooking it up. I kept it on a shelf for almost a year. Finally hooked it up and it is one handy device

    The sound is much better than the original, without being much larger physically, if you don’t need room filling sound, this is a great way to get an Alexa device for cheap.

    The Amazon - Echo Dot can be fun for the whole family. We mostly user it for the music service, playing whatever song we can think of. However, there are many more uses to be explored. We've ordered pizza, checked out traffic in our area, played games, and connected our cars. I highly recommend this product and look forward to what Amazon comes out with next.

    Originally purchased one for myself. X-Mas was around the corner. Last minute gifted it to a family member. Was so curious of what I had just given away that I just had to buy another one. From weather to news, traffic and time, ask to play music or even tell you a joke. Endless possibilities with only one device.
