    We have three of these. We've actually gotten them all for free through different special offers. For example, two of them we received when we bought our insignia TVs through best buy. They're really easy to set up and fun to play with. We also have a Google version, but we think this one is more fun. It communicates more realistically.

    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.

    Alexa is the most handy device I've ever owned. With the ease of home automation now, not having a device, like an Echo Dot, seems downright nutty to me. Want to hear NPR news? Just ask, want to dim the light? Go for it. With a decent wifi connection, the Echo Dot is a tank.

    Amazon Echo is a great addition to any home. This one doesn't have a clock, but you can just ask Alexa what time it is. We have this in my son's room and set up cool alarm routines for school mornings. Pair it with a wifi light bulb and you can set the tone for the day off right.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Cannot say enough how perfectly simple Amazon has made this unit, and their entire platform. This is a great addition to our smart home that allows me to control the entertainment center in our media room. Do yourself a favor and watch for a frequent sale price: I paid $30 vs. the normal $50

    We now have several of these throughout the house. Works great for controlling different items such as lights and plugs, however we like it most for the music. It is nice having the same music playing throughout the house.

    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...

    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.

    ALEXA IS A FUN AND KNOWLEDGEABLE COMPANION WHICH NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME. YOU CAN ASK HER NEARLY ANYTHING AND IT WILL GIVE YOU THE CORRECT RESPONSE. I USE HER AS AN ALARM, TIMER, STREAMER, ETC. YOU CAN HOOK UP EXTERNAL SPEAKERS FOR AN ACCEPTABLE MUSIC SYSTEM WITH OUTLETS IN MULTIPLE ROOMS.

    I got this for my wife for her birthday & she absolutely loves it. It does so many things. It doubles as a Siri, answers questions, you can tell it to play your music, tells you when the game is on, etc. The #1 feature she loves about it the most is that you can control your Roomba with Alexa. So multifaceted.
