    So, I already have an echo, which I love, so why dd I need a dot? Well, I put it in my bedroom so that I can turn on plugs, lights and alarms with a voice command. Before, I actually had to reach for a switch to turn on a light! I also use the dot to talk to somebody in the room with the other echo. Nice. Don't have to get up.

    I love it. Best gift i have. I'm old school so i had to have my son help me. But now i got it and think i'm doing something. Again i love it. She will play what you ask her and do a lot more. She wakes me up when i ask her to. She is amazing. You have to try her.

    I received my first echo when purchasing another item. I was hesitant because of privacy issues, but realized that I’m not saying anything that’s all that interesting for any spy to listen to. Lol. I went back and got 2 more echos. I’ve set up a network throughout my house and can stream XM and hear it in every room.

    I’ve been on a mission to get my 5-year-old to stay in bed later on non-school days. For now, he’s happy asking Alexa to play the songs he likes. If all continues to go well, I will get to sleep past 6am and not have to hear Oldtown Road for the 4-millionth time. Money well spent!

    My father is disabled so this product does the trick to remind him of medication, help soothe him with calming music and remembering prescriptions that needs refilling.

    Echo Dot works great with my ring doorbell camera. I would highly recommend this to anyone with a Ring Cam. It will let you know loud and clear someone is at the door. I have this one in the bathroom so that I can listen to music in the shower. I have several of them located around the house.

    A great improvement over the original Echo Dot. Speaker is louder and microphones can hear from further away and seem to mix words up less. Best Buy always seems to have deals so wait for those, I got a free smart light bulb and it was the same price as just the Dot itself from Amazon.

    Got it as a gift. Feels great to tell alexa to open this or that app instead of pressing all these buttons to get what i want, on my fire tv. It’s definitely loud for its size when it comes to music.

    Didn't know I needed her until we got our Echo Dot! She turns our lights on and off, gives us weather updates and funny little jokes. I use her for my shopping list so I can add it as soon as I think of it! Still finding all sorts of fun things. It's so easy, you must try it out!

    Bought this because my kiddo was having trouble with his non-stop updating. But, as soon as he figured it out, it moved to the kitchen. Great tool to have and you can listen to your music or podcast with messy hands.

    I was thrilled to receive my smart speaker along with another purchase. This is great to take along outside to listen to music when sitting on the deck enjoying nature. Thank you Best Buy! Easy to use and lightweight.

    Where do I begin.... Ahh Prime Days.... Where Prime Lied and I got a better deal at Best Buy after digging up the sales ad that showed I purchased 2 @ $50. Our grandson loves to yell at "Lexa" to tell her to stop singing and our newest grandson was put to sleep thanks to Alexa playing lulaby's when he visited

    Alexa tells jokes, turns on lights, sets timers plays music in multiple rooms, tells you the temperature, gives you a weather report, tells you sun rise and sun set times, sets alarms and the longer I have it the more I find it does. What did I ever do before Alexa and the Echo Dot?
