    Alexa is Amazing

    This is one of the best items I have ever purchased for my family. It has helped us so much that I can’t believe it took me so long to to get this. The house is rather large, so it helps us contact each other without having to yell or use our phones to call each other. It helps with the time of day or what the weather looks like for the day before we go out. It helps with questions I have about multiple topics. We constantly play music on it. It’s an amazing item to have in your home. I would purchase again and recommend this item to everyone.

    Alexa is such a must have, to be honest! Its so cool all the things you can do with her, as long as you're connected to wifi. She will always be the best assistant I can have, I got several of them and have them around the house just in case I need an instant speaker! So so so cool, dont doubt in buying her!! *Best Buy College Crew members receive products to write honest, unbiased reviews.

    I bought it hoping it could make it easier to listen to my amazon music over my sengled speaker lights. It linked up easy and now i can hear quality music just by screaming to Alexa.

    I fall into the camp of I love my Alexa. if you start automating things in your house like I have then she becomes a valued assistant. Always nearby and ready to offer assistance. I got this one for my elderly mom. Now she always has music to listen to, the weather on demand and a backup means of communication in an emergency. I taught her to say "Alexa, call my son" so she doesn't even need to be near her phone should something happen and she needs help. For that alone she is worth it.

    This is a great device. The sound is good and there is never a problem giving it commands. I also think it looks far better than the current ones.

    This is such an improvement over 2nd Gen! The speaker seems almost as loud as my Echo and the design is much better. This is a great purchase or would be a good upgrade from a Gen 2

    Sounds good for the size and I can't complain about the price. It came free with a ring device. For those that are paranoid, you can mute the speaker with a physical button.

    We had a few older 2nd gen dots and decided to try the new one. It's even better. The sound is much better and the design is svelte. Holiday pricing made this purchase a no brainer.
