    This is a wonderful addition to the home, it was a gift for a senior relative. She loves it, it allows ordering groceries and prescriptions. It allows listening all their oldies. It gives freedom at home. It’s been a god send. It was recommended by their physician to help out, right after she got out the hospital.

    Alexa has worked out good. From the beginning it pretty much loaded it self and everything else I’ve added later. The only issue that I’ve had is when the power goes off it won’t function. Once I figured out the cure by going back into the Alexa app and tapping on name, everything’s fine again. Also trouble loading the wyze smart plug, took forever but once hooked up no problems. These are one of those products ya didn’t know how you got along without it. Signed lazy!

    We bought the Echo 2 last year for Christmas and have really enjoyed it. When the New Echo 3 came out with a better speaker we had to try it. The speaker is really good on this one. The Echo 2 we use a Bluetooth JLab mini speaker that works very good. Enjoy having the Echo 3 in another room and can listen to our music on it.

    I'm constantly amazed at how much Alexa can do. Even the grandkids love it. My 3 year old even likes to pretend that he is Alexa to do things around the house. Of course, he was disappointed when he Alexa couldn't get the Christmas tree out of the garage. He says Alexa can do anything. Maybe someday.

    I got this smart speaker for free with a purchase for another device and I absolutely love it. I use it to set a time, play music, turn on/off the TV, play games, etc. There is so much this device can do. I would highly recommend it.

    We got one of these to augment the Alexa we have had for some years in the family room. Set it up quickly using the Alexa app. Wife wanted to quickly find out the weather before dressing for the day so we got this one to put closer to the dressing area. The music requests also can lighten your day.

    So, this was a freebie with another purchase. Still getting to know Alexa, but the product seems awesome. I find it’s quite convenient. The speaker sound is great. From its perch in my kitchen, it seems to pickup commands from anywhere on my ground floor, unless there’s too much noise..like tv or multiple people chatting. However, I have been nervous about having Jeff Bezos listening to going’s on in my house. I’ve tried to set it up with some “precautions” to limit surveillance...and accidental purchases and messages to my boss...

    I always liked having an Alexa. Now my dad hates it. Says it’s useless and totally against having anything like that bc if his conspiracy theories. One day I put meditation/sleep music and that knocked him out. Next day I come home and I hear him talking to Alexa. Literally perfect as a “speaker” too.

    What can I say Alexa never disappoints I really enjoy being able to make commands or simply ask Alexa to do something for me and it is done. Alexa is great just for when you want your favoriting played or want the latest on updates news

    Love free items and was perfect to link tv and light in kids room so they just need to speak to turn off light and tv. Glad to have received this as I probably wouldn’t of bought one for them but they love it.

    The sound is loud and very clear! I really enjoy this device so much I got more all over the house. It uses my security cameras as motion detectors and I can hear motion detected what ever the cameras name is. I’m learning all it can do.

    Useful to turn off all lights you may forgot to before going to bed. My son plays a music he likes and dances. He sometimes solves a math Hw(?) I heard that “Alexa, what is 7 plus 2?” .... .... I play a music for my dog when I have to leave her alone. So many things you can do with this small dot.

    The title says it all. If you know these dots, they are great little gadgets. We have had several of the older generation. In addition to the new softer appearance, the sound quality seems to have improved quite a bit over the older generation, even though the price has stayed low.

    Great device to stream music, cast music to all rooms, as any question and get answers, e.g., traffic reports, news, weather, cooking times, medical, history, order off Amazon, set timers, alarm clocks, control your automated devices such as WEMO, NEST, iHome, etc. Also if you have Audible and Kindle it wii play them back.

    This little thing sounds awesome!! I bought it for about half of the original selling price and it was a steal! Alexa work, but it could get better. I have a few of this in my living room and set them up in different places to get as best audio as possible. Would recommend, but probably not for more than $40.
