    Alexa is awesome. There are so many things to do while using Alexa. I love playing music as easily saying the name of the song and she will play it. I can also set an alarm. I can call someone. I really recommend it!

    This works great! Easy to setup and can be placed anywhere in a large room and still work and hear your voice. I use it for setting a timer while cooking and turning on lights in my house.

    Perfect for what we need it for. Bought two for each sons room and great overall. We play nighttime music for bed time and also they have learned to ask for weather. Price is great and can control all at once.

    Surprising Necessity

    Initially got the echo for Christmas and didn’t think it was a need, until we hooked it up to a hard to reach lamp. Since then we’ve bought the Echo Dot for our bedroom, as well as several Smart plugs and Smart bulbs for around the house. Having our lamps and even our Christmas tree activated by voice command is such a game changer. Life is so much easier now, especially with our hands full holding baby. We can dim the light with our Smart bulb for night feedings and even change the light to all sorts of colors just for fun. We can play music from Pandora over the Echo, play all sorts of games and even ambient sounds for baby when she sleeps. No need for any other sound machine or gadgets. We don’t know how we ever lived without it. The hubs and I definitely recommend this product. Even bought a couple as gifts.

    It is vey useful to have Alexa around. I connected her to my dining room light and I love it! I love asking it questions and getting a response immediately. I love it that it plays music on command.

    This 3rd gen can ACTUALLY be used as a speaker. The first two generations were only good for voice IMO. But this one packs a bigger size and sound. Honestly its what the first generation should have been to begin with.

    I Love this Alexa for the price and its decent sound. not the best but is worth it. I usually keep it in the garage hooked up to an aux to a better sounding system, it has access to tune in which is a free radio app and plays my local radio stations or if you get the free amazon music trial that's good too. I also have several inside the house and they sync together to play the same thing like a cheap way to get sorround sound in your house it sounds nice.

    Once upon a time a life without Echo

    Before we had this thing we just didn't really care about these fancy smart home devices thingies. Now we can't imagine our daily little tasks without Echo's help. She controls the house's temperature ( obviously, after we tell her to do so); she takes notes, setup timer, makes phone calls, search random stuff in the internet etc. The best part is: She is the only one in the house that listens to me. Cons: If you have more than one Alexa enabled device in the house, you will have to give them different names, and I think there are only four or five names that you use to call them. So let's say you have an Alexa enabled thermostat and and Amazon Echo dot nearby and they are both called Alexa. It happens that every time you call Alexa, both your thermostat and Echo will respond and operate at the same time.

    I decided to purchase a 3rd Gen Echo Dot for my office. I enjoy using the Echo Dot as it doesn't take up much space and is informative when I need something, i.e. play music, turn off the lights, etc. The newer generation dot is great!

    This echo dot has great sound for a small $18 speaker. I set these all around my house and they work like an intercom system. So convenient when calling the kids for dinner. Music sounds great too.

    Love how I can connect to this little gadget when I’m not home, near home or even in the same state as home. Great intercom for the house. Integrated perfectly with my ring system and very informative. Can’t wait to get 2 more.

    I don't care of the NSA spies on me with it. I have nothing to hide. Comes in hand and has a ton of commands. Kids love playing music and telling jokes. I can't wait until Samuel L. Jackson voice replaces Alexa's voice.

    Sound quality is the best I've heard on a speaker of this size!!! Definitely worth paying a little extra for this one over the 2nd generation model. I'm not going to discuss the functionality as there's tons of info already out there.
