    Amazon is stepping up their game in home automation and it begins with the Echo line of products. The Echo Dot fits anywhere in your house and is hardly noticeable. It is the hub that will connect almost any of your smart home devices. I also gave one to my mom for Christmas. She has found it easy to use and helpful.

    Takes time getting used to exactly how Alexa responds to your requests. It is very easy to learn it's just a lot of different things she can do. Love listening to music on it. No need to spend money on a bigger one as only the speaker have better sound. If that's your thing then go for it. Still amazed at all it can do.

    I personally think it has way too much bass in its default setting and the voice sounds muffled. Be sure to go into your Alexa app where you can adjust the bass, treble and midrange. I don't like that they removed Alexa's ability to sound a tone showing the new volume you have selected using your voice, for example telling her "Volume 8" or "Volume 3." I do like the increased volume and seemingly better microphones.

    This Alexa came as a combo deal with my sons new TV. This is the first Alexa that we’ve had in our home so we’re still trying to get used to how it works. We are from a small town so we’re kind of limited as far as ordering food and groceries with it. He has been using it more as a speaker for now.

    Perfect for my teen daughter! She has her Alexa and we have ours. Small enough to not take up space and it controls her smart light bulb and her led tv lights. She loves it! Plus, it was on sale and we used $20 in BB certificates so it only cost $4.99. Great price!!

    Significant upgrade over gen 1. Much louder, clearer sounds for Music and detects your voice better. Also nice that it has a built in battery to move without loosing power. So far happy with the upgrade.

    The Amazon Echo Dot is absolutely wonderful, it is one of the most convenient, and useful electronic internet accessing devices that I have ever used. I can't say enough about it I absolutely love it. It's a little buggy to connect to the internet but other than that it is amazing.

    All in all, we love this buy!! Everything that Alexa works with and does is awesome! The best thing about it is the fact that she continues to learn and do things fitting to your lifestyle and daily habits. Such a fun and helpful buy with so many new things to learn and do every day!

    I love Alexa echo dot. The price was so right that I gave a few away as birthday gifts. So far, everyone reported that they are enjoying their Alexa. I love the speaker capacity for music as well as the skills features and growing capabilities of Alexa. Great purchase!!

    Love it! We have a lot of fun! Lots of jokes, good with music. I will not lie, my technology skills aren’t the best though, which can make understanding what she can do a little difficult. Alexa app could also be clearer. It can be difficult to understand

    Was going to buy one for the ladies room. Then I saw around xmas time they had 2 of these for like $42. So I hot the one for the ladies room and replaced the older one in our living room. Glad I did because the newer one sounds so much better. Gave our echo dot 2nd gen to my pops and he loves it.

    I have several of them in my house. Each room is linked up with the lights in the room. So nice to be able to control lights with my voice. I do have a difficult time trying to set things up though (in terms of voice commands). Apple Homekit it just so much easier for me than Alexa.

    Purchased this as a Christmas gift for my husband. He uses it in a room that is off of the garage. It’s nice to be able quickly contact him or ask a quick question with the Drop In feature. He likes listening to music, asking Alexa questions, and so much more. Great sound from these small devices.

    I use my Alexa almost everyday! I love that it’s so easy to turn on and off appliances when I’m doing other things around the house. Only bad thing is if you know someone named “Alexa” it hears it all LOL. But just turn off the listening and you’re all set.
