    Love it! We put it in the window sill when we sit outside, giving commands through the window screen, hands free. Alexa plays the music we love for hours. Great little gadget!

    Love Alexa and this echo dot provides good sound and it doesn’t take much space. Also, it is cheap so you can add one in each room of your house.

    Another highly useful piece of tech that goes well with my WiFi items in my place. Easy to set up and use in less then 15 minutes. After that just download the apps echo need on the smartphone to hookup with other WiFi items.

    I loved my second generation echo dots but the third generation ones really stepped up the volume. It understands what I'm saying 100% of the time even if the volume is loud. So much better than the Google Home Minis I have.

    I love it! Alexa will read me a story or tell Samuel l Jackson to tell me a joke! ( Download of Sam Jackson's voice skill req'd) Alexa can turn off my smart light bulbs or change the color to whichever color I feel like requesting! How cool is that? I bought several to give as Christmas gifts and I'm sure the recipients will love this device as much as I do!

    For such a light price tag, it does a lot. Great voice recognition and the speaker is loud. The setup is really easy, and the software is well made. Lots of skills to add as well you connect nearly anything.

    The sound quality is excellent and the ease of use is remarkable. You will have to program Alexa to perform tasks, but though the app, it is relatively easy to do. I’m very pleased with my purchase.

    Great product! Very sleek looking. Alexa is easy to use. You need to make sure you can download an app to be able to connect with alexa to personalize her. Also, the skills on the app are a great feature.

    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.

    I actually got this thing FREE when I purchased my TV from Best Buy! I really haven't ever had any interest in these "smart" devices. But you know what? It's been a great little device! I'm able to control my TV & Fire Stick with it, listen to music and check the weather with it as well. And the fact that I got it for free sits really well with me too! Overall, it's been a great addition to the living room!

    The sound is not bad at all small but sounds big. Easy to install, fun to have. You can listen to almost any song, also local radio stations. You can ask a lot of information too! Great to have one!
