    Her christmas present was a really great surprise. She loves that she can ask Alexa anything and that the clock is on display for her to easily visualize while she runs around doing her chores and running her errands.

    The only regret I have is the color I chose for this. The gray does not match with my decor and every thing looks dated. I love the unit though. I have my lights, tv and phone hooked up to it and I couldn’t be happier.

    2nd Echo Dot

    This is the second Dot that we own - this one is in our teenage daughter's room. We use the "drop in" feature to let her know when it's time for dinner or to walk the dog. Works like an old intercom system - and keeps teenage angst to a minimum!

    I love my Echo Dot 3rd Generation and Alexa is the bomb and super intelligent. Best Buy had a promotion going on when I purchased my Ring Doorbell 2 where the Echo Dot 3 was free when you purchased the Ring doorbell 2. That was my lucky day!
