    Easy setup. Works great! Alexa can be very helpful and handy because of the hands-free nature of getting things done. She can turn lights on/off, read a recipe aloud, whatever you need while you're doing other things.

    I really like this. What makes this a steal is the sound quality, which is very good. Pair it up with another for stereo sound and it’s fantastic. You’d be hard pressed to find any speaker at this price point that had this good a sound, and the fact it does so much more only makes it better

    Nice Echo Dot. I like being able to control it from the app on my phone. I use it to listen to Sirius and podcasts. I also like to get weather updates. If I leave the room and forget to turn it of I can do it through the app.

    This is a neat little gadget. My kids love asking "Alexa" questions and hearing jokes and weather information. We also use it to listen to music. It's very convenient and easy to play songs and playlists from our Amazon account.

    Alexa makes it easy to turn the TV on and off when you can't reach it. Love it for asking questions when I am cooking and need advice on cooking rather than have to looking it up myself. Saves time.

    I wanted something handy for my niece that lives out of town. She is only 6 and uses the Alexa feature to help her with homework and to call me. She's too young for a cell and the echo dot allows her to call me. She loves it and so do I. Excellent device at a great price.

    Purchased for my mother for mother's day and she absolutely loves it! Being able to play music and turn on lights by voice is what she needed. I think she will be amazed of all the different things she will be able to do with the dot.

    Got this for free after buying a Ring security system and honestly, didn’t want it or think that I needed it. The more I use it, the more I like it. Just ordered a 4th gen Echo dot today. It’s great for playing music and we plan on getting a few more to use an an intercom system too. Every once in a while it doesn’t quite recognize what you say but I think it gets better as it learns your voice. Kids love it too!

    Echo dot has come in handy I since I got it, real easy to set up took up like 5 mins to connect. Works great with our tv and my wife loves playing music on it throughout the whole house I bought a few more for the other rooms. Best part Alexa tells me a joke everyday...

    The echo dot 3rd generation is great because for such a small speaker it sounds clear and loud, much better than older models, and the options to grow with it are huge. Highly recommend getting some for your house, especially when Best Buy has promotions on these.

    These have been great so far. Got them for the kids to use for several reasons. Now they can listen to their own music (without having to steal my wife’s phone), set alarms/reminders for schoolwork and appointments, and have an alarm clock. These are easy to set up and easy to use.

    I got a first gen echo a while ago. I didn’t find it useful at first. I now have two in my home and one a work as well as an ecobee and two amazon smart plugs. I can now control the temp and lighting in my house from anywhere. The echo also helps me keep organized. Very useful.

    A wonderful tool to automate my lighting at home. Setup was a breeze, and I can also use it to control my Fire TV hands free. This Echo Dot was included as a gift with my Fire TV purchase, so it was an awesome deal.

    I am not tech savvy and was worried about adding this technology to my home. A friend came over to walk me through set up but as we went through it I realized just how easy it would have been to set it up on my own. Once you download the app, it and the Echo Dot walk you right through it.

    We received this as part of the sale offered for a 43inch Toshiba flat screen TV. Bought the TV for our son to take to the college dorm and received the Echo Dot as part of the sale. The Echo Dot was easy to set up and our son and his roommate love the Echo Dot convenience.
