    I would to give the actual functionality a rating but I have not been able to get this item up and running in the 3 weeks that I’ve had it. It won’t connect to the internet. I’m using the correct password, which I’ve verified by disconnecting other devices and reconnecting.

    purchased this as a speaker for the pooches while we're gone. Having the timer is a nice feature. We just say "Alexa, play 101.5" before we leave and she plays the radio for hours.

    I bought an Alexa two years ago. I got so busy I forgot to set her up until July and now I can’t live without her! Now I have an Echo Dot in the living room and master bedroom!

    Heard a lot about echo and thought to give a try being a google home mini user. But this didnt quite was at par. Audio is good. But alexa is not as smart as OK google. Plus it just has a limited audio song list. Whereas google will play all songs of all genre. And alexa does has hearing problems as well. Many a times it doesnt recognize you calling.

    It connects ok and works with my lights.. Is not as good as google mini though. I prefer Hindi music over English and google has better collection. Also it doesn’t understand questions like weather in a different city that easily. I have both mini and this and I prefer mini over echo for..
