    This was a gift from Best Buy after purchasing the ring alarm system. This was our first Alexa and let’s just say we fell in love and now have one in every room of the house. She makes life so much easier. It’s convenient to have one in the kitchen to set timers while cooking and she also turns on and off our TVs so no more searching for remote in the middle of the night. It was very easy to install just plug it in and download the app. The speaker on the Alexa is great too for playing music in the house.

    We like them around the house to help out with the little things like weather and play music in different rooms. Easy to link with smart plugs and bulbs throughout the house.

    As would be expected with any of the Amazon Echo products, this Echo Dot works well and is a favorite tool for the whole family. The Alexa app sensed it straight away and made it a breeze to set up. The main reason we bought this was to be able to play the same music on all Echo Dots in the house simultaneously, especially during parties. The functionality of this product seems limitless and we are very happy with it. Now if I could just get all my kid's friends to stop saying, "Alexa" every five seconds with a different command...

    I honestly do not like these items, and have avoided buying for a few years. For the cost, they are quite impressive. Voice recognition and speed of response is really good, sound volume and quality is much better than a tablet/phone. I only purchased as a way for the kids to listen to music playlists without having a screen nearby, which it functions very well (essentially any bluetooth speaker requires using the device). Also, if you aren't aware, there are some 3rd party rechargeable batteries you can buy that make the unit portable.

    Bought for my nephew for Christmas. He likes setting his alarm for school and playing music to get ready in the morning. He’s only 9 but loves using it daily.

    It’s small so it doesn’t take up any space but just as effected as one larger in size. Great voice recognition and fun to play with also works as a great speaker with your music! Lets you know about your amazon orders, progress and many other things around you.. a definite recommendation.

    Control various devices just by asking Alexa! And gives you information quickly and efficiently. It's a gadget you dont know you need until you don't have it! Simple home automation with select and additional devices (smart hubs). On the privacy issue... well you're either on board or your not. So if you're reading the reviews just get it! You wont be disappointed. If you dont want it to listen to a conversation it has a mute button which disables the microphone and lets you know it's on mute with a red ring light. Or just unplug it! Sound is good too for such a small speaker, bluetooth enabled.
