    The sound is much richer and deeper than previous generations. As for other functions they are the same as other echos.

    Using Echo with my smart lightbulb makes it super easy to turn on the lamp that's in a hard to reach corner. Also loved playing all kinds of music.

    This item came free with the purchase of a small smart tv and made the deal even more satisfying. We love our Echo device and subscribed to Amazon music, use it for jokes, trivia, and games.

    I love it! This is my second one - I got this one for my mom. She absolutely loves it and it’s very convenient when she’s at home to turn on the music while cleaning or working. She can make a quick call to me or even send a text message.

    Love this thing!! We got our first one on a 48 hr sale and wished we’d bought more. You can set up several in your house and use them all. We went back and bought 4 more as gifts and 3 more for our other rooms in the house.

    Outstanding Verbal Control Mechanism

    Originally I was a little skeptical of buying an Echo Dot but made the decision to do so when I automated my swimming pool/spa with a Pentair Intellicenter Control System which boasted it could be verbally controlled. To be honest it required a little bit of a learning curve to get used to the (verbal) syntax required to make everything Alexa friendly to work seamlessly. However, after taking a couple of verbal tries and the Echo Dots (Alexa's) apparent ability to learn as you go along it definitely got easier. And now my wife and I truly enjoy control our smart home items with Alexa thru the Echo Dot. So much so that I bought a third party portable battery so that we can take Alexa outside with us while we are in the pool/spa and totally control the TV/Firestick/Pool/Spa/Music hands free. Bottom line, I should have bought an Echo Dot sooner. The only down side if there is one is that it doesn't come with an internal rechargeable battery for portability. I bought it with an Amazon Firestick combo and got an excellent combo package price!!
