    Love the echo. Alexa is great and does everything you ask. Also it’s pretty loud for its tiny size

    Echo Dot Smart Speaker is my favorite way for listening to music in any room I want to relax, I just plug it into an outlet and make my request from my playlists on Amazon. No worries

    Great for the price, the only thing is that music is very limited if you don't have Amazon Music

    It’s Alexa. This is one of the coolest inventions in the past decade. The assistant can really help you do so many things like playing music and turning on the lights.

    The Amazon echo dot is the best. My husband and I really like it. I can set an alarm, listen to music, turn on and off lights, and many other things. Amazing product and good price.

    Trying to See the Utility

    I am interested in home automation so I thought I would start with the Dot to begin experimenting. Also picked up a set of smart light bulbs that work with Alexa. The lights in my bedroom which include two ceiling lights and two lamps are all connected to the Alexa so I can turn them on and off with a single voice command which is handy. So far that’s about it. I have the thermostat also connected to Alexa but I find it’s easier to use the Honeywell app on my phone to turn on the AC or make adjustments. The speaker is rather muffled so I don’t use it for music. I may connect it to my stereo to see if it sounds any better. Sometimes I ask for a weather report which is handy. Looking around the house for other potential applications. I’m thinking of a video surveillance system tied into the Alexa but have not researched which cameras would be best. So for now I have a rather expensive light switch that can tell me the weather report.

    I can’t always get the main Alexa to hear me so I added extra of these small ones around so I can control music, lights, and other smart things without having to really shout everywhere like a mad man

    If only Alexa had best buy's ear! This product is cool and comes as advertised. Thought it was hilarious and fitting that best buy was going to charge 99 for an echo dot install

    Love that these give you a little more umph in the low end. Great for small rooms or just checking the status of a device. The multiple mics picks your voice up very well.

    I believe Amazon Echo Dot is better than Google Home and Apple Home. 1. Good enough volume. 2. Good response even while playing songs louder. 3. Good to have bluetooth and aux connectivity options.

    Awesome product, great sound. Sound is actually a bit better with full size echo. Quick music access while getting ready without having to search for CDs. Control appliances with voice commands.

    Received this free with purchase of another product. It is my first "Alexa" product. Started using it and it's ki da nice to have. Set up was easy, however it says you can have two accounts connected. It links to both our Amazon's, but will not recognize my voice anymore after second person synced to it.

    This was a great present that came with a TV that I bought as a present. My son loves it, the smaller size is perfect for his room and desk. I find him asking Alexa all kinds of questions.
