    Got this free with the purchase of a TV. My 20 year old daughter loves it. Great sound for Spotify and she loves her music loud!!! Thanks for the future headaches!?!

    I really enjoy having Alexa be able to answer my questions immediately. Also having the weather in an instant. Music of my choice and eventually I will be able to control the light and tv. I'm a senior citizen so this technology is all new and exciting to me.

    Bought this for my wife as an add on in the house. Located in the kitchen we it linked with Alexa in the living room. Once you get used to using it, they are awesome. Small footprint easily placed anywhere in the kitchen.

    You can't beat the price. It sounds good and you can;t beat the price. If you want more sound go fo the bigger echo dot 4th gen or the more expensive studio. Most people would just love this one. Unbeatable price.

    The dot works great with the Alexa commands. You can get your daily news or connect lights or outlets and have Alexa turn things on for you. Alexa also can play music and I’m sure many other things that I haven’t explored yet. Easy connect and quickly functioned.

    This little thing is amazing. The sound that comes out of it seems like it would require a much bigger speaker. It seems much easier to talk to and have it understand than a couple of other devices I have.

    Alexa Shows Skill at Pleasing Humans

    Echo Dot has been around for a long time. My Alexa system works near a Google Nest system. They control the same lights in a one bedroom apartment. Both brands are worth the investment. Amazon seems to have entertainment in mind. Echo products have many skills for playing music or answering questions. Skills are nice, but they are meant to have a premium charge. Watch your response to Alexa's questions. This Echo Dot is well made and easy to setup with the Alexa app. If you have a Wi-Fi router, try one. Alexa just might tell you how old she is. (A few other "wake up" names can be used. Mine responds to "Computer.")

    Good for adding a speaker to play music in various rooms or having another Alexa ear listening to your life when you want to add something to your shopping list verbally. Great price considering it was a free item with another purchase on amazon day.

    Echo Dot - music for the house

    The price is right and the product is great! I remember years ago, being at my friends home. They had music in their kitchen. 20 years ago, having music in the kitchen was not common. It was special. They had a wonderful sound system installed, it couldn't be seen, but it was heard. Fast forward 20 years. I live in a house where the previous owners wired it with Bose speakers on all levels and outside. It sounds great for sure... but what an expense!!! I use it, but not everyday. Instead, I use my echo dot speakers. Just say what I want to hear, and the house is filled with music. ... Just yesterday, I had the sound of birds calling...just quiet enough so that it sounded like they were outside. My wife loved it. Happy Wife... Happy Life.

    The set up is a little work. I still need to find it how I can connect it with Pandora so that when I want a station fm Pandora, Alexa can play it for me automatically. I also find turning it off is a little tricky. It seems Alexa doesn't take my off command well. But overall, the sound quality is good and perfect for the kitchen and family room together.

    Really like my Echo Dot. What I like most about it is the fact that I can play music upstairs and downstairs in my living room. The quality of the sound is really good. I originally bought two for myself and I went back and bought two for my mother. I’m a fan!!!

    Small size with a good sound quality. Easy to set up. I bought two for setting a paired stereo system for my fire tv stick. It can also be connected to my mobile via Bluetooth. Just one disadvantage that it must work in the internet environment. Otherwise, Alexa will not be functioning.

    Echo Dot 3rd Gen

    This is my second echo dot, so two things: Repeat purchase and 'price versus quality' angle. I think that the echo dot is the same good quality and sound. The price is priced to be very competitive. The amount of online with Alexa support is fantastic. Say 9 times out of 10 you can find these routines very easy to use, think of alarm clock, timer, hold voice calls, turn on and off routines for smart lights. Security is as good or otherwise from the owner. You can change a few settings to keep privacy very secure. Online, the logs of the echo dot are stored for whatever length of time. It's easy and a routine could dump the older logs. I do recommend this echo dot.

    Have them in all the bedrrooms and they do sound better than the gen 2 Echo Dots at the same price. Same ease to connect and no issues whatsoever. Got them on sale right before Christmas so I had to get 3, one for each kid and all work great.

    Got this as a free gift with a tv purchase and it’s awesome! I can ask Alexa to play music, the weather, and tons more! Also nice to set up smart home devices to this such as plugs and lights so the voice control is cool.

    Easy to set up and has great sound quality! I was worried that the tiny size compared to my original Alexa "tower" would not have the same clarity and volume, but I cannot tell the difference and love the smaller, more compact size!

    It was a present for my parents, and they loved it, they enjoy listening to music and changing the station just by saying “Alexa”. Was easy to set up. I just wish it had an internal battery so I would have to have it connected all the time.

    This little puck is so neat, Alexa is very useful with reminders and timers and music and info. It's actually fun. I also have the Ring Doorbell and alexa will announce when someone rings the bell. "Somone is at the Front Door"
