    Alexa is a great tool to have! Besides being able to listen to your personalized playlists, she is a great tool to keep you updated on news, keep you on top of your “to do” lists, etc! A bottomless source of information.

    The drop in feature allows us to use this as an intercom system and we can reach our kids when they're in their rooms. They love making their Dots specific to them and putting Alexa to work. We bought 4 units and they were a great purchase.

    This is a big improvement in sound from the original Dot. Worth the upgrade or first Alexa. Get it.

    Plug this in and Alexia will be your guide. Awesome apps that you can use with this like Name That Tune and Name That Song. Great games to interact with. Just yell at it what to do and it will do it. (within reason)

    She is really the V.A lf the family. She keeps my toddler entertained, I do my workouts with her and she controls my TV for me. She is pure awsome sauce. I am also excited about the Alexa guard feature that has rolled out as well. Pure peace of mind.

    These are so fun and convenient to have. I bought one for a friend for Christmas. She loves it! They are scattered all over the house in different rooms. Great for communication and announcements, among other wonderful things Alexa can do.

    Helpful But Creepy

    We use this all the time and even find ourselves calling out to Alexa when we're not at home out of habit. That being said, she will randomly come on and say she didn't catch that when we weren't talking either at all or to her. She won't pull up certain things like music if it is in a different language, info on certain topics, etc. Nevertheless, we still use it. Decide which is more important to you. Helpfulness or Creepyness
