    I like the Alexa Dot. I prefer the Alexa Show 8 but this Alexa Dot does come in handy and it makes a great gift. I enjoy how loud it can get and keeps you informed with all types of info and very easy to use

    It’s so easy to set an alarm, listen to music, ask a question. I can make a grocery list without touching technology. Speech only. I also use it as an intercom to speak to my son in his room. My only regret is that I waited so long to get it.

    This is my second Echo. So easy to setup and enjoy listening to music and asking questions, weather, and play a game. Works great as a timer when in the kitchen. Sound is amazing out of this little device.

    The addition of the Echo Dot has been wonderful. I can now get the same features as the Echo without having to unplug and move it. Great sound as well. Good for the bedroom, outside, or the basement. Got a great price on it as well.

    I was hesitant about owning one of these devices because of the negative publicity it was receiving. Thankfully, I received a free one for getting a big order. Wow! It’s been wonderful to do everything by voice command. Bye bye remote controls.

    Purchased this to replace a dot that was fried in hurricane Ida. Works well, was easy to setup, kid mode can be enabled for use in a child's room.

    We basically use it for playing music when we are in a room. Just say alexa play 80s country music and it plays a great selection. I'm sure these things do more than we have set up, but I'm technologically challenged.

    The echo dot was a great option to google which I don’t care for. Dice the purchase we have upgraded to smart bulbs and ring doorbell. It controls all of our devices with easy setup. Really enjoying this product.

    When I bought this I honestly didn’t plan of using it or keeping it that long but it’s surprisingly fun and easy to use. One of my favorite features is having Alexa turn on and off my lights and changing the temperature inside my house!

    I received the echo dot as a gift for the TV purchase, when I installed it I bought a second one, because this device was great, the speakers on it are very clear and nice, Alexa’s integration is very responsive.

    Hey Alexa, keep up the good work! I already had a dot before getting this one for free with another purchase. The NSA is probably using this to spy on me, but it turns my lights off when I’m too lazy to get up, so I would recommend.

    The Echo Dot 3rd gen is a big improvement from prior generations. The sound quality is superb compared to 2nd gen. For a bedroom it is of excellent use. I would recommend to replace all 1st and 2nd gen dots to this generation.

    The echo dot is the perfect companion for ring doorbell because it works as a chime without purchasing a chime and very powerful speaker to enjoy music as well and announcements

    My wife loves this Echo Dot. It's installed in her bathroom so she can call up any music she likes and when my Amazon smart plugs were working, they're not now, we could turn on and off lights anywhere in the house

    I purchased this to put in my main living area, replacing another Dot that I then moved to another room. I enjoy the much fuller sound that the 3rd gen has, and it seems to be more sensitive to the wake word than the previous generation.
