    Surprisingly easy to set up and use. We use it mostly for playing music while in the kitchen, but it was easy to connect smart electrical plugs. Get the Samuel L Jackson voice!

    For a small Echo device this one sounds pretty good and is small enough to hide behind something.

    Was never a big fan of the idea of a device always listening to what’s going on. But after using it a friends house to turn the lights on and off, my lazy butt was sold. Living in an older home without ceiling light/switches, we have to do with a lot of lamps. So smart plug and problem solved. One issue is that if you have multiple units as I do. In living room and in bed room. You can’t differentiate general commands. For example I can’t say lights on in bedroom as I do in living room because those were the first I set up. I had to name specific lights in bedroom. Like nightlight or tall lamp. Which after some searching I found is a common larger issue when using multiple units. But with one, no prob. Also make sure the device you are looking to connect to the echo(alexa) will do so directly and not through a hub. Made that mistake a few times... don’t always believe that “works with Alexa” means additional devices not need. Buyer beware. Speaker not that great either. Glad it came as free item. Wouldn’t pay for it. Considering the amount of information it’s collecting and selling. (Which is in the terms and condition FYI)

    Hey there! I recently picked up the Alexa Echo Dot and I'm loving it. Incredibly useful. It's a compact smart speaker that's great for controlling my smart home devices and getting quick info like the weather forecast. The voice recognition is super accurate and it's super convenient to use. The sound quality is fine, but it's not going to blow you away if you're a serious music listener. All in all, it's a solid choice for anyone looking to add voice control to their home.

    Definitely a great buy. I got it for free with the tv I brought. I really like it very easy to set up. Can play music, set your calendar and a lot. To much to name but it basically does everything.

    I had recently traded in an Amazon echo for the one with a screen. I was able to get this Dot free with a Toshiba TV purchase I made and really like it. It is small and does everything I need it for.

    I brought this for my mother I had to get her out of the stone ages. After a little coaching she got the hang of it and she loved it so much. My mother since passed but now my father uses it and he's lost without it. Alexa went off line after a power outage and he lives in Texas and I live in Chicago. My father doesn't know how to set it back up so he'll have to wait till I can get back there to set it up again. We love it thank you to Amazon for a great product and thank you best buy for selling them in your stores. I would recommend to anyone whom loves technology.

    The sound on this little Echo is excellent for its compact size. Perfect for the night stand or other smaller space, and Alexa on the Ech works so well, and does so much more than some of the other assistants.

    We have 2 echo dots in our home and they are great. We mostly use them to play music, set alarms, ask for temperature updates, check time, and call to them from the app. It is a great product.

    This 3rd Gen Alexa Dot has drastically improved since the 1st Gen of which I own. The speaker is much louder and better quality. Setup is straightforward and took less than 5 minutes. Highly recommend.
