    I bought this to allow access to Alexia in different rooms. Operates plugs in the bedroom. Plays music with a satisfactory sound. Easy to set-up.

    Nice purchase! I wasnt sure what to expect but it has been quite useful so far. Even though we have an open floor plan, we placed in our kitchen which has the most traffic in our house. Certainly has already helped with keeping up with grocery needs and making things more efficient with us being to add to the list on the fly. it was really easy to set up to connect with our printer via wifi. I am sure we will continue to find more uses.

    It is better than I expected and works with the ring alarm and doorbell. Also works with x box Seems better than Cortana. Also you don’t need to buy a Kinect.

    Listens well, plays okay

    Of the echo devices in our home this one is a convenient size, it listens well, and it produces decent sound. The larger echo device has much better sound and listens about as well, but is more obtrusive and has to be accommodated to project sound for listening enjoyment. The echo "show" has the added dimension of "dropping in" with a camera so you can see who you are talking to and get visuals, but it is much harder of hearing. I actually got this echo dot to use by our pool to control our ION Bluetooth outdoor speaker (which is also AWESOME!). This gives us the ultra convenient options to control our listening experience without using our wet hands or getting out of the pool to control a device. The dot can access music from Apple or from Prime and change volume, mute, pause and switch playlists or play ad hoc from anywhere within earshot. This device is decent, but what it can do to innovate with technology is the actual power and usefulness. I DO recommend this device.

    I already have 2 of these, and they are great . So I thought if I loved them so much, then I am sure that the family will love them. So I purchased 2 more to give as Christmas gift. I give this prouduct 5 stars. It plays my favorite music, it tells me jokes, it even turns your light on and off. And also changes the colors , only if you have a smart bulb. I you don't have one you should rush out and buy one. Can't go wrong with this product.

    Works as expected, responds pretty well even with my accent. It's not a top of the line speaker but it's also not exactly meant for picking out gunfire in a competitive FPS, and music sounds good on it. Easily connected to any devices I have.

    The Amazon Echo Dot. Setup overall was a breeze. Downloaded the app. to my phone. I’ve also paired my echo to my tv, and added a smart lightbulb to the echo device. I’m a tech guy so I like little gadgets that make everyday things much easier.

    We bought ours when they had the half price sale. I dont think I would pay the fifty dollars they sell for. But if your like my wife and dont want the phones in the bedroom. It's a good alarm clock with different ways to wake someone. Or play white noise/ocean/music for sleeping. Asking questions results in interesting responses about 20% of the time and needing to ask again. Overall if you want a home charging station outside of the bedroom but still want access to news, weather, and internet searches. This is a good product. Again, just wait for the sales.
