    Love the Dot and coming from a Microsoft user, that’s saying something!! I love the ability to set up my daily schedule, my grocery list, and various other tasks. The one fault that I found, was that this item came in several days after my TV was installed, but given the state of the union and the resurgence of the virus, wasn’t totally surprised. Which also says something about the Dot and it being user friendly.

    There are SO MANY things you can do with this speaker! I planned on just using for streaming music (great sound) but have: ordered groceries, connected to smart home products, used for research, and more!

    We now have several of these throughout the house. Works great for controlling different items such as lights and plugs, however we like it most for the music. It is nice having the same music playing throughout the house.

    I love the idea that I just tell Alexa what i want to hear,example. Alexa, play up beat christian music, and from that point on, I got up beat music. I don't have to search. she does that for me. I have owned this for 1 and a half months, and its a great investment for me.

    The Echo Dot is a great way to start interacting with Alexa. We now have 2 of them and it is a great way to communicate between the kitchen and my photo processing room in our Condo! We are just learning what all it can do and are very excited to continue our explore of the Alexa world.

    This is our 7th echo and we love them! We got the first for easy and instant access to music, which now plays throughout our home with the "play everywhere" command. And after adding smart switches, thermostats, lights, locks, and garage door, I now control most of my house with voice commands.

    I love my echo dot. I ended up getting two more. One for me and a family member. I can set reminders, alarm, make a check list, check package arrival, place an order from Amazon, music, news, weather and more. Having more than one I’m able to sync them together.

    I purchased this for my children as Christmas gifts. Any moment now, I expect Alexa to file an unfair labor protection lawsuit against my family. My kids have been wearing her out. I imagine that they will get tired of her in a week or so but until then, Alexa has been kept woefully busy.

    Significant upgrade over gen 1. Much louder, clearer sounds for Music and detects your voice better. Also nice that it has a built in battery to move without loosing power. So far happy with the upgrade.

    Works great for home and office use. This one I bought for my client but I've had one for over 2 years and works perfectly fine. So many great features but I'm basic and only use it as an alarm to wake up and occasional reminders/timers. I buy these all the time for housewarming/client gifts.

    Enjoying this In my living room almost every night to listen to all kinds of music. The sound is not bad for such a small speaker. No more getting up to play some music. I know it can do so much more but I have not ventured in that yet.

    I bought this for my mom who is technology challenged. I love it it was easy to set up and easy to teach her how to use it. My only regret is that I didn’t purchase more of them while they were on sale. But I am watching closely to see when they will go back on sale. Then I will buy a few more.

    We use it multiple times a day. Seems to "hear" better than the generation 2. Only have to tell it once to turn off timer which we had a problem with in gen 2. Having Alexa in the house has been super convenient. Use it for reminders, calendar, weather, traffic, music, smart home features, lights and more!

    Got a couple of echo shows and I got this for my teenage son. He loves it because he really did not care for having a screen, he rather have just the speaker/smart device. I am slowly getting the household electronics all “smart” integrated and Amazon has got a real winner with the echo.
