    I got this for my 93 yr old mother who has severely limited vision. She loves it because she can talk to it and it answers her. Her vision is so bad she can't read a clock or calendar, so she just asks "Alexa, what time is it?" Or "Alexa, what day is it?" and it tells her. Also she can ask about the weather and listen to music of her choice through it. It is a great aid for the visually impaired, Been thinking about buying another one so we can use it as an intercom. I know there are a lot more things we can do with it, but for now its great to have just for my mom!!

    It has nice clear sounds quality for music and very responsive with Alexa. If you don’t want Google home, then this could be your alternate smart speaker for Amazon prime music.

    I love the Echo Dot. I find it understands my commands better than Siri. I also use it as a speaker to stream my favorite music. I have the dot in my bedroom, and the Echo Plus in my family room.

    Works well - sound quality is decent (paired with second Dot for stereo), and interaction with Alexa works well. I have not encountered any issues with operation, or performance. The setup was easy.

    I have 4 dots in my home in addition to the ecobee with Alexa. I even have one in my classroom. I love the fact that it can control so much in the home. You can even crank your car with it if you have the feature from onstar and etc. It gets really loud and understands most of the time. I live by these and the price $20 was amazing.

    This is in addition to my Echo Dot 2nd gen. Amazon definitely improved on the Echo Dot once again. Much easier to set up. And once set up, the sound is much more robust. Glad I bought the newest model.

    Purchased this as a Christmas gift and we're told it was easy to hook-up to their wifi. The sound quality is good, but not great; but then again, it's not a Bose system so that's not a knock on it. The bulb works well in the kids' room and they have fun with the changing colors. This wasn't expensive, so it was a good buy.

    Good speaker for how cheap it is. Makes it easy to set appointments and alarms as well. You can also have it turn off lights as long as they're attached to a smart hub.

    I love my Echo Dot that I went and got a second one. Decided I was ready to join in with having a smart device and choose this since I have other Amazon devices. Setup was both simple and easy. It was connected to the Alexa app in less than a minute. It came with a free Sengled smart bulb which was easy to set up. Love that I can enter a room and tell Alexa to turn on the light and she does. Also love the fact I can turn off lights around the house without leaving my bed if someone forgets. The sound quality is great and I have truly enjoyed listening to my Holiday music. I would definitely recommend.

    We added this to the kids playroom so we can call them from another room. They listen to music and dance in their now. Such an adorable version of the echo. We have them in most rooms now.

    I know other Echo products make better sound, but they also cost more, in some cases a lot more. For the pricepoint, this device is absolutely unbeatable. I have synced it two work with other echo dots elsewhere at home and the integration is seamless, playing the same music throughout the house is a good example. The design of this product is very upscale, we have all the different colors and they are an excellent value. Can't say enough of this MVP Amazon offering.

    Very different gadget

    I got this thing for free with my ring doorbell purchase. Ive heard of these echo dots but I have never really encountered one until it came to my front door. You can apparently turn on lights with this thing. You can ask it questions. You can give it commands like turn on my pandora station. There are a bunch of skills that you can ask or teach it to do. But I have yet to ask it to do such skills. Also I learned you can teach it to order things off the Amazon site too? What im trying to say is that i like it but I wish it came with better explanation of what I could ask it and stuff. All i got were instructions on how to connect it to my alexa app and my wifi. But i guess this is a learning proccess.
