    Great sound and easy setup. Works as well as Gen 2 but looks better (not like a hockey puck, lol) and sounds better. Get one.

    Gifted this to a older friend who has a strong accent. I was quite surprised that Alexa was able to comprehend his voice instructions so easily. The Echo is almost a "companion" for seniors, especially those living alone. They add in to their routine. He texts and emails to family and uses this to assist with spelling.

    Love it! We have a lot of fun! Lots of jokes, good with music. I will not lie, my technology skills aren’t the best though, which can make understanding what she can do a little difficult. Alexa app could also be clearer. It can be difficult to understand

    Small and compact. Easy to plug and use. No problems with it so far but I think it listens to every thing I say.

    There is a lot that Alexa can do, I bought smart plugs and connected them through the house on all my regular devices as the plugs are really cheap lol, and connected them to Alexa and now I am as lazy as comfortable enjoying a smart home, Alexa turn off the coffee maker

    I use my Alexa almost everyday! I love that it’s so easy to turn on and off appliances when I’m doing other things around the house. Only bad thing is if you know someone named “Alexa” it hears it all LOL. But just turn off the listening and you’re all set.

    We are enjoying our echo, the sound is great, and my husband loves the fact that he can play his jazz music and I'm glad cause I can request my smooth R&B without commercials. We add a smart plug and now we don't have to argue over who will turn the lights out when we both are comfortable while watching a movie. :)

    Lots of fun beyond the music. Games, alarms, reminders, Echo Dot does it all. Weekly emails keep you posted about different things to try with it. And the music is absolutely tops! Just ask it to play whatever you like and you’re instantly rewarded with good sound.

    I love my dot! I got it with a deal thanks to bestbuy! I have one prior to this one and my kids also love it. My 3 year old is always asking it to play baby shark. I have a 2 year old niece, when she visits remembers that I have one, and always asking it to play a song. Will be purchasing her one soon.

    Exceeded Sound Expectations

    The sound quality is MUCH better than I expected from such a small device. The Alexa voice recognition/interaction works pretty well, too. We had the Google Home device before, and it was so bad we just returned it. Only reason we got this one was because it came included with a larger purchase. Definitely recommend.

    This is the 2nd Alexa I've gotten. These things have so much uses. I can even use it to ask whoever's in the kitchen, if we need anything else while I'm at the grocery store. We use it to stream amazon music, as a bluetooth speaker, a phone, audiobook, and to hear the news.

    I love being able to ask questions about anything or add items to lists without having to press any buttons. The speaker works really well and love playing musing through this while I’m cooking or just hanging out in the living room with just telling it what kind of music I want to hear.

    These things are great. Surprisingly good sound quality. So much more convenient than using a portable bluetooth speaker that requires device syncing and battery charging to listen to music. This thing is always plugged in and all you have to do is ask Alexa to play a song.
