    My first experience with "smart" devices. Unbelievable. From answering questions to listening to my favorite internet radio stations, this thing is a blast.

    Perfect for my toddlers room to use for silly dancing or night time lullabies without the distraction of a video. Sound quality is great!

    I love the Echo Dot! It's perfect for any room in the house. It's small, lightweight and easily transported. I know it's not the latest release of the Echo, but it's one of my favorites!

    I think these are great. Added to the bedrooms and the family uses them. Even my wife uses it to call for dinner or check on what is happening in a room. The are great for little facts but can not answer all the questions.

    Saved the day

    This came free with my purchase of a FireTV. When I initially got it, I had no idea what I was actually going to do with it. I live in an apartment complex and use wireless headphones for everything. I don't have a smart home and I was certain it would go to waste. Boy was I wrong. I cracked my phone screen last week and haven't found a replacement device yet. I used my phone as an alarm clock and now I use my Echo Dot. She can get 3-4 times louder than a phone so I don't actually sleep through my alarm any more. Another advantage is I can now stream my music through it instead of my computer. Since I use my computers to take calls from work, this has been a life saver.

    Bought this for our mother/mother in law to use to remind her to drink water every two hours and take her medications on time. It's easy to use even for someone not comfortable with technology.

    Love these things, this is my 8th one installed. The newest gen sounds great for music and we use them as intercoms throughout the house. We have a mixture of Dots, and Shows to accomplish this.

    We have our echo dot at home connected with our NEST Thermostat, smart bulbs, and apple music. Alexa is able to control the temperature, adjust the lights, and play any song we wish at any time by simply asking her.

    added 4 more Alexa's to the house. that makes 7 in total. I have 2 sets paired up in the exercise room which is great for playing those favorite tunes or meditation music when doing yoga.

    I love my third generation echo. The sound is crisp and it allows you to connect the Amazon woofer to it for deeper, louder bass. This along my XM subscription means I have great sounding music now at home too.

    This is our second Echo Dot, we bought it to have another one in a different room. We love how its so easy to use and setup. She can't always answer every question we have, but she does get most of them answered.

    Got it for free with the purchase of a Ring Floodlight Cam. Have them all over the house. Very convenient to inquire about the weather, listen to music, and get answers to questions. Great for the kids too!

    Works even better than gen 2. Sounds a bit louder and the mic can pick up your cues a little better. Looks better as well Iin my opinion. You need to be an amazon prime memeber to take full advantage of all the features.
