    Nice but not as useful as Google

    I have mixed feelings about the Dot. Sound quality is okay until you turn it up a bit then distortion kicks in. Functionality is okay. It's interface with Harmony Hub is unreliable. Sometimes it works great, other times it loses track of the connection. The same is true of the interface with KasaTP-Link. It frequently loses the connection. We also have a Google Home Hub in the house. It seems to be more reliable with its Harmony Hub connectivity. Google also seems to be more user friendly and understands queries better than Alexa, I asked both when it was going to rain today. Google responded with very specific information regarding the times it might be raining. Alexa just said it might rain today, 59% at 11 a.m. I've also purchased the Amazon Echo but haven't opened yet. I may return it and purchase the Google product line instead.

    Love this Echo. I have several Alexa devices but this one is easiest to use around the house due to its size. Will be purchasing another one for my son.

    I didn't know how easy it would be to set up this device. I was wondering what it would do. I bought a light bulb and now - I don't have to get out of bed to turn the light off. Sometimes, I do believe Alexa is hard of hearing me. Still - I am enjoying talking with Alexa

    I bought an Echo Show 8 (Sandstone) for my Mom for Xmas, then bought an Echo Dot gen 3 (Charcoal) and now am Echo Show 8 (Charcoal) for myself! This device is amazing, especially if you're really into listening to music! Alexa is something special and her AI is pretty advanced. The sound is very clear and I highly recommend to all ages. You won't regret it!!!
