    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.

    I have had this device for almost a year and it is still going strong. I also bought some of the plugs and hooked lamps up to it and it is so convenient to just say “Alexa good night” and have them all go off at once.

    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.

    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.

    There is a lot that Alexa can do, I bought smart plugs and connected them through the house on all my regular devices as the plugs are really cheap lol, and connected them to Alexa and now I am as lazy as comfortable enjoying a smart home, Alexa turn off the coffee maker

    When we received the Echo Dot as a present, we had no idea what it was. After fooling around with it, we were just overcome with all the stuff it does. We are not technical people, but this thing is really easy to use. And when I told it "good night" last night, Alexa told me, "Good night, Sweet dreams. How cool is that?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Lots of fun beyond the music. Games, alarms, reminders, Echo Dot does it all. Weekly emails keep you posted about different things to try with it. And the music is absolutely tops! Just ask it to play whatever you like and you’re instantly rewarded with good sound.
