    I purchased this with the Amazon Music and let me just say this speaker quality is a lot better in the first generation overall it’s pretty much the same thing but the big improvement is the sound not to mention the overall appearance of it is a lot better

    Very convenient device that will play my Apple Music on command and answer questions for me. Looking forward to seeing everything it can do as I add smart home devices.

    We purchased these to put in our kids’ bedrooms because they love listening to music when they are going to sleep. We also use it as an alarm clock for my oldest. They love asking “Alexa” what the weather is going to be like or for her to play their favorite songs.

    These make great Christmas presents. At this price, you can’t go wrong. The Echo Dot is easy to use and fun for everyone of all ages. You can ask Alexa to play music, turn on and off lights, answer questions, call people on the telephone, order shopping items, and so much more. It has a security feature that you can set up to listen for glass breakage and other noises. This Echo Dot is tiny, so it takes up little room. I am not crazy over the fact that it records conversations, but you can ask it to erase conversations. Alexa is always listening for her name, so it hears everything.

    I resisted “The Man” listening in at my house to all of my conversations and arguing— haha These things are pretty cool. You can say hey Alexa, play 80s One Hit Wonders and was la, you are back in the club. The sound isn’t too shabby either.

    This is a great gift for anyone who likes tech and wants info fast and at hand. Alexa works great and is extremely helpful. I still haven't used smart home bulbs or other tech but I plan to in the future and I'll rely on Alexa to give me a hand with everything.

    I use my Echo Dot to stream Sirius and Spotify because Jazz is limited in the city of San Antonio. I haven't used the other options yet, but I know that when I do I will be amazed, and happy with the results. Happy customer, excellent purchase.

    Love my echo dot! Super useful when your bored. I always ask her dumb questions and she always has an answer. Also when I am to lazy to do things she’s the perfect helper like state the time or what the weather is outside for the day.

    Package came as expected and when expected during the busy holiday season. Surprisingly, it was also a better priced buy that included Bluetooth lightbulb than on Amazon and it’s an Amazon product.

    Alexa is my new best friend

    Having the Echo Dot has become life-changing. Besides checking the daily weather, my favorite use is to listen to the radio all night from another city with crystal clear reception. Alexa has helped score me major points in settling family trivia arguments, and I'm really not sure how I could get along without her constant help and friendship. Unboxing and setup took about 5 minutes, including installation of the phone app. It couldn't have been easier, looks small and sleek on my nightstand, and is powerful enough to be heard clear across the house. It'll be fun to investigate all of the skills that are available.

    This is my 1st Alexa device & it's great! I'm still finding ways to use it & devices to use it with. My favorite part is waking up to my lights being turned on with my favorite song playing. I love my Echo Dot!

    We wanted an better way to communicate between floors on the house and this works great for that. Alexa is great for hands-off questions, getting weather, setting reminders, etc. It's easy to use but there are almost too many options. I like playing background music from Amazon or the services that I already have. It would be nice if there was a digital audio output to connect to my stereo. The sound is OK but not great.

    This came as a gift with purchase when I got my Ring cameras. I wasn't ever interested in a Dot prior... but I didn't know what I was missing! Now I find myself trying to ask Alexa to do things when I'm not near her! Might have to purchase a few more!
