    Great speakers at a great price. For the size they sound really good. I have several throughout the house now, so I can listen to music no mater where I am in the house. Alexa will control a huge number of devices and the list keeps growing.

    We received the Dot free with the FireTV. We are loving it! Get weather, music or tell it to turn on the TV. We had missed being able to ask Alexa questions.

    The Echo Dot understands pretty well and can do a lot of great things with connected devices such as lighting and Nest Thermostat and other things like taking notes! I will probably buy a few more over the next week for my other rooms!

    I have now purchased a smart light bulb for my bedroom to go along with this I love it. I love the dot itself I currently have a smart plug in mail to go along with it. The dot is easy to talk to and she listens and understands well

    The novelty of this digital assistant was pretty cool for awhile. It operated flawlessly too. I ended up ditching it though because privacy is a major value for me and I didn't want a perpetual audience.

    Love these little Alexis! They are small enough to not get in the way but the functionality is great. Bought one for each of my daughters and they love it! The bonus was they each came with an extra lightbulb.

    I love the echo dot 3 rd generation. It helps you to call contacts for you hands free or drop in to tell someone you need something. It can play music and even give you recipes for dinner. I’m ready to buy another one after getting this one.

    Do you like to listen to music or playing games or catching up on current events. Look no further than the Amazon Echo Dot. Great sound and Alexa will keep you updated on the weather, wake you up and laughing throughout the day.

    I always wanted to buy a smart speaker, this fulfilled my wish. However, there is some latency issues at the start of the song or any voice when initially connected to laptop. I always face this issue. Sometimes it connects well but sometimes it won’t. Other than this I’m overall satisfied with the product

    Bought this to add to my whole home WiFi system. Synced flawlessly with my wireless systems. Now I’m able to contact my kids without having to yell or physically go to their rooms. Loaded with options and lots of functions.

    I bought two so I could hear music in stereo. The Alexa app let's you adjust the audio (treble, midrange, and bass). I gave several for Christmas presents. My wife uses them as sound machines. So many things you can do with them.

    The 3rd gen has been a nice surprise and blows the 2nd gen away in all ways. Better sound and better build quality. I miss the micro-usb charging cable though... cannot go wrong with this little fellow. The ton of Alexa skills available also helps.

    Straightforward installation, I use these around the house to control my home automation system. I prefer this over the Echo Show because I do not use a screen for anything and it does not support Arlo streaming yet.

    Great device. I now have 3 echo dots in my home. So handy to control my thermostat, music, and to use for reminders. Life is good....when you can do these things hands-free.
