    we never opened it because the concept of having a device that listens to us in our home is unsettling. I'm sure whoever got it was quite pleased

    The dot is pretty neat but also somewhat complicated if you start pairing more than one dot and or devices. Everything has to be set perfect so there are definitely some growing pains but once it is all set then it’s pretty handy. If you have a smart plug hooked up to a floor plan and your internet goes out then so will your fan (in the middle of the night). Easy to unplug the smart plug and plug the fan directly into the wall outlet but nonetheless inconvenient. Overall it’s a neat addition to your home.

    I bought this for my friend for Christmas because every time she comes over she plays with mine. Always asking questions and likes the jokes. She loves that it plays what I like.

    Does connect through wifi and can use Alexia voice commands, which is the best use. Do not expect good sounding music outside of a very small room.

    A little difficult to master the commands to begin with. Knowing how to phrase the question is the key. Excellent assistant after that.

    This one is a convenient size, but just spend a few bucks more to get the spherical fourth gen one.

    Its a fun and helpful gadget. It’s cool asking Alexa random questions. You can teach her different skills and she can even rap!

    I am a casual user when it comes to these assistants. I use it mainly to get weather and traffic updates before I leave for work. It took awhile to get Alexa all the skill sets needed. But, once we found a few skill sets, Alexa became an entertainment until as well. We use her for all kinds of trivial and music games. She also provides sport updates and can play music. All and all, it was a good purchase. (There are a ton of skill sets for Alexa to acquire. The choices can me overwhelming.)

    With this size you would expect the clock should be in any model. Perform as expected. Great value for the money

    I had bought this for my 9 year old son for Christmas for his bedroom. He uses it as his morning alarm clock, bedroom Stereo, and asks it what ever random question that may pop into his head while playing in his room. When I upgrade my light switches Alexa will be able to control those as well.

    The command variations is out of this world. I can asked it anything. Its the greatest. I can control anything in my house. Its very convenient. I ask it the time. I ask it the date and day. To play my music, relaxation sounds. My daily studies in the Bible.
