    Great gift items- super easy to set up and works as a Bluetooth speaker. Can’t beat the price point and the smart home features are pretty cool.

    Excellent option to add Alexa capability at home

    Verdict: the Echo dot adds Alexa capability to your home, or multiple rooms, at a fantastic value Value. The Echo dot provides access to the same Alexa capabilities as all other Echo devices but at a significantly lower price. If you don't need a powerful speaker in a particular room because you don't listen to music in that room, then the Echo Dot is perfect. We added Echo dots in a couple of rooms to control home automation: lights, thermostats, and switches. Installation. Once unpacked and plugged in, the Echo Dot is immediately ready for connection. You can set it up through the Alexa app from any smart phone or tablet. Just follow the instructions to connect it to wifi and then it will just work. Sound. Despite its size, the Echo Dot sounds pretty good! If you use the "Alexa, play music everywhere" command, then all your Echo devices will play the same music in every room that has an Echo device. So these Echo Dots act like ambiance or surround speakers throughout the house. Functionality. I really have no complaints about the actually device. It works well, the physical buttons are practical, and the sound is good. The ring light provides useful feedback about the device listening to you or working on a request. The amplitude of light also indicates the volume level. Overall, it is a fantastic device at an incredible price. I highly recommend it, as long as you are comfortable with potential privacy implications.

    I would be surprised if there is anyone left that has used a smart home device like the echo or google home. I will say that the echo is much dumber than the google home but I also find it easier to use the Amazon echo connected devices.

    This is probably the best of the “smart speakers” out there ... the speaker is nice and clear and with the app added via your cell device ... it’s the best hand downs.

    Speaker is much more robust than I thought it would be the pricing was lowered enough that I justified two instead of one and no I have better Alexa coverage.
