    Hard to imagine before having an Echo in the house. We have the video version downstairs and wanted one for upstairs. Great addition to ask those quick questions and play your favorite music. The Echo Dot version is at a perfect pricepoint to add to additional rooms.

    I got this at a great price during the recent Black Friday sale. This is now my 4th echo dot which I placed it in my son's gaming room. Everything was easy including setup and use. The only drawback which I mentioned in my other review is that Alexa only allows you to link 1 Spotify account. And because of this limitation, you can only play music from one Spotify account at any single point in time. For example, if my wife plays music from the echo dot in the kitchen via Spotify, I cannot play music from Spotify on another echo at a different part of the house. I also cannot play Spotify from my phone without terminating the earlier playback since Spotify only allows you to play at a single source at any given point in time. If Alexa can allow multiple Spotify accounts (which many of us do with the family plan), this will be a 5 star rating! I ended up setting up this echo dot under my son's Alexa account which allows him to link this to his Spotify account. However, this means that this echo dot is in a separate set up as my other echo dots.

    I have purchased three Echo Dots on sale and use the "everywhere" speaker group feature to listen to music throughout the house. The sound quality is good enough for everyday listening - I have also connected a couple of Bose speakers using Echo input devices.

    For a small device, the sound is great. Got rid of my alarm clock radio as Echo is now used to wake me to music. Lots of possibilities to use including control of lights, temperature, etc. Alexa’s jokes need work though. LOL Ps I bought a few for friends too!

    We have these throughout our home. They work great talking back and fourth and also just for listening to music. We did purchase the plug ins so we don’t have to have them sitting on a countertop. Never had an issue. Would highly recommend.

    The sound quality is great for a small device. The style of the 3rd gen is much better than the new version. I will buy another when on sale again. This one is my 2nd.

    I own several of these. They work great. I use them for timers, alarm clock, operate tv, operate sound system, play music, operate lights, etc. Don’t believe everything you hear about these ease dropping on you. You can control what is kept online with settings.

    I use Echo dots in my apartment and it has made simple things like setting timers and automating lights a breeze. I recently got my parent's one and after only a week they were already using it with routines and were raving how much they could do with it. Great product.

    Received this Echo Dot free with the purchase of a Fire TV. It is very convenient to listen to Christmas music, a Bucks or Badgers game, check on the weather or as others have enjoyed to just ask interesting questions. At times need to repeat ourselves as Alexa doesn't always get our requests correct, but overall a fun little speaker.

    Very easy set up. We were able to integrate our new Vizio TV with it in no time. Love the notifications feature which lets us know when Amazon packages have arrived. My wife loves the that she is able to listen to Amazon Music on it.
