    We have about 5 of these throughout the house. Easy to use, good sound if you're listening to music and a must have if you're into Alexa.

    SOUND: For such a small device the sound is surprisingly good. It gets loud and sounds decently clear. For a casual music listener you likely won't complain. Keep in mind these are not meant to compete with the Homepod or Sonos One. Stereo pairing sounds better than a single device. FUNCTIONALITY: The speaker is very responsive to "Alexa." The two feature I like most are 1) drop-in and 2) Announcements. The drop-in feature allows the user to open communication with another echo device. Announcements act as intercom allowing you to send a message across all echo devices on the network.

    Alexa For The Win!

    Alexa makes my life so much easier. She is literally my little assistant, planner, and best friend. I use a wheelchair for mobility so having Alexa and compatible Alexa smart devices helps me in so many ways. I can literally say Alexa turn on the light and she does it. Now I can avoid having to get in and out my wheelchair and relying on people for help. This Alexa device is allowing myself to gain so much independence and I'm loving it and loving her.

    Perfect gift for my grandmother! With her being elderly and staying home alone, it gave us peace of mind to know that she can call us from Alexa if anything happens (such as a fall), and she isn't near her phone. She enjoys the music and being able to ask about news and weather!

    It may be small, but it is loud! The only thing I didn't like was that I had to download an app to make it work (phone didn't have much space.) All in all, it did the job!

    Great way to listen to music in any room of the house. Pretty good sound as well. Sometimes you can't get Alexa to wake up on first try. But suspect it's something we're doing wrong. Husband's worries if we don't unplug her, she listens in on us.

    Big fan. Just get one and you'll be intrigued. Get a few and group them and it's better. Add devices you can control (plugs, light bulbs (including brightness and color), security camera, sprinklers, garage door, fans, etc.) and you'll be hooked. Add IFTT controls (mine turns my lights blue when BYU wins their game), setup routines (I say "Alexa Emergency" and every light turns on, the show turns to full volume, then it issues a warning (intruder alert, the security footage has been sent to the cloud, the cops have been called. Intruder alert--then it plays LOUT sirens). Now you are cool.

    I have several Echo Dots & I totally love them. I have one connected to my whole house sound system & then a few scattered around the house. When I had surgery last year, I set them up so I could contact my partner when I needed assistance. I now have added Echo Shows & the sound system is great. I can listen to Satellite Radio so it is wonderful. I have a love/hate relationship with Alexa & she probably spies on me. Setting multiple speakers up can be a challenge so Amazon should try to improve this.
