    I purchased a fire tv and echo dot. Alexa works seamlessly with my fire tv. took a little web research to connect the tv with alexa, but once connected there have been no issues. I set the tv to turn on with the cable and my elderly mother has no trouble tuning to the channels she wants. She has a bit of a learning curve with Alexa, but she is doing better.

    I’ve been hesitant about getting An echo dot. I’m glad I waited though the 3rd generation has a good look about it. It functions really well. The speaker has a good volume to it and the mic picks up without any trouble. Ive been playing with the lights in my house for about 30 minutes now just in awe of this technology. The more I pay attention to technology the more I see ‘compatible with alexa’. I do not regret this purchase, I’m just going to need more bulbs.

    The Dot is a great option if you want a small device to add Alexa functionality to an existing stereo. Of course it also works as a stand alone device with pretty decent sound from such a tiny speaker. Just don't expect it to fill a room with sound.

    I fell in LOVE with it and started finding great deals on the Echo Dots so I could afford to scatter them throughout the house. Once you really dig into all of the things Alexa is capable of you won’t stop trying new stuff. The dots are awesome Add-ons to the Main Echo Plus 2nd Gen, just really neat gadgets to have. I guess one would be alright to have as a solo but if you can spring for the Echo Plus with the built in hub , I would definitely suggest it.

    My wife has been moving this around between rooms and using it as a music player. Just hope it’s not listening in and invading our privacy on behalf of anyone. LOL

    I am SO addicted to Alexa! I mainly play music through out my house all day and even when I am sleeping. I ask her for the weather and time. Silly questions for fun. I have the light bulb but have not set it it up yet. I take it with me every time I travel. Can't sleep without background music and the sound quality is awesome! I bought 25 of them for customer appreciation gifts!

    Great value, have a bunch in our house now, so got another as a gift. Just a heads up that if you're setting it up for someone less savvy, be prepared to get access to their account for multi-factor authentication. Great device for the smart features, not great as a standalone speaker due to limited sound quality, but can be hooked up to larger speakers via 3.5mm jack.

    I was not sure about having this type of device but have found it useful and fun at times. If you are worried about it just unplug it when you are not using it. The Phone app is well Organized and easy to change settings . You do need it to get it online for set up. After that just ask it answers. It does have an option to turn off listening so it will not respond to anything . For a small speaker the music sound quality is very good

    This is my first Echo and I'm surprised how well the voice recognition works. The only negative I can see is that this version does not have a battery so it always has to be plugged in, but it's also the cheapest version too.
