    I liked this item so much I purchased two more. Still learning all the options. Love the “turn on my lamp”, “What is the outside temperature”, “play Lionel Richie songs” Love it.

    Great! Use it for music, alarm, weather information. It's helpful with reminders. I had received one as a gift and then bought this one as a gift for someone else

    Great sound for size, not competing with full size echo or dedicate speakers, but more than passable audio for music. Huge upgrade from previous versions of the dot size speaker.

    I really thought I would find limited use for this, but I was pleasantly surprised at how often I do use it now. It is so easy to set up, and I now purchase additional items that are Echo compatible.

    I bought 3 of these to give out for Christmas gifts. All 3 receipt ants all loved them. These are very good to use for all kinds of situations. The kids love to use these for music instead of their phones.

    Love our Alexa connected home! The dot is great for bedrooms & allows us to connect without screaming in the house. I love that I can send messages through the app.

    She’s just my personal assistant

    She’s good enough for setting alarms playing music and doing the things. Lately her speaker has been a little rattled but I only use her to take notes and such she’s not the best when it comes to making phone calls and people hearing on the other end but the drop in option is fun to peek in and talk to visitors when not home.

    Alexa is easy to use, convenient and knows more than I ever will - seriously it is a little awkward talking out loud to this device, but when you overcome that, you won't stop talking to her

    Great product, this makes you lazy but worth it. Tell it to turn on light and it does. Tell it to play music and it does. Go down or up on the volume and it’s done. I likes my echo

    It's good as a peripheral controller. I'd pay the slight increase for a full size Echo or a Show to put wherever you're going to be interacting with your smart devices the most, but this one is perfectly fine for most purposes. I wouldn't depend on it for playing music though - the sound quality is pretty meh.

    I never used any smartspeaker, once I started to use it and pair it with other services like Pandora and online Radio Stations I love it. The only drawback is that it can't control my 2017 SmartTV.

    I was never really into the "Alexa" hype but that has all changed! She's my BFF! This little speaker is the bomb.com! Easy to setup and use. Will be purchasing more since it costs less than a night out for drinks!

    Bought this to add music to another room. Sound is fine for such a small speaker and the price was ridiculously low.
