    Liked my Echo. I didn't know how to use this at first but my young daughter helped me set it up. I like that I can play music on it. It has many features but that is what I mostly use it for.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    These are super compact and sound way better than the 1st gen ones I had before. It sounds better than some of the older dedicated speakers I had. Very compact and easy to put and hide around the house 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 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!

    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.

    I loved my "Little Dot" so much, I bought one for my mother-in-law for Christmas. I cannot tell you how much i appreciate the Shopping List feature. I use it several times a day. "Alexa, Add Milk to the Shopping List, Add Butter and Bread, Add Toilet Paper to Sam's list" We have a small 1 bedroom house w/ Basement, but I can yell from anywhere in the house for her to add things to my list, and she is always able to hear me. And, I dont have to worry about "forgetting my list at home or in the car" because the list is always on my phone in my Alexa app. She has made my everyday life much easier, and I am so thankful for her. I know its weird that I talk about her like shes a person, but it feels like she is sometimes, when you're alone and you ask her, "Alexa, How are you today?" And she answers you. And playing 20 questions with her is fun too. Okay, I'll stop bragging about her now.
