    I really like the Echo Dots, and I bought them on sale for my entire family. We haven't had any problems with them. The kids think it's fun to make announcements through the house.

    I have 3 of the Echos and love them. They are so smart and I use them as an intercom. I have only one complaint and that is they weren't that easy to get the devices to work like you want them too. I know it is me but I believe the instructions could be a little better in explaining how to correct problems. For example, I can tell Alexa to play music and it plays in another room. It does this sometimes when you tell it which room you want the music played in. They are very smart and I use them for more tasks all the time. They come in very handy as a timer in the kitchen. My granddaughter gave me my first one as a Christmas present when they first came out and I didn't know what it was. I thought it was some kind of hockey puck. I am an old geezer but I love having them around. I would absolutely recommend them to a friend.

    We love this Echo Dot.Haven't had any issues. Very helpful and love playing music on it. It is informative when you ask questions and silly when you ask for jokes. We would recommend one. Well worth it.

    I love the Alexa and Echo Dot line. The 3rd generation is amazing and has better speaker output and better mic reach for a truly 360 coverage. I like the more curved and sleek design compared to the 2nd generation.

    I installed this along with some light bulbs and a thermostat at my elderly in law’s. It was simple to setup and easy for them to use. I no longer get those calls asking how to turn the temperature up anymore.

    Speaker is good enough for it’s size, great for listening to talk radio or podcasts. Alexa voice recognition is much better than Siri, and works well with my smart plugs and wi-fi bulbs. The Alexa app itself and the skill enabling storefront are really chaotic and could use some work. But this price is great for a device to dip your toe into the ecosystem.

    It's a very convenient listening device, sounds scary I know but no worse than what we all carry around in our pockets anyways. Helps turn the tv off and on and beeps randomly. Funny to watch it spook the dog when it speaks.

    I use this Echo Dot in my bedroom. I love that it is small enough to keep on a little table next to my bed. I like that you can link the Ring cameras to this device and receive motion notifications when you want to.

    Echo dots are well worth the money. I love listening to music on them or asking questions when I am working on a recipe. I also connected my Echo Dot to my lightbulbs. Alexa turns them on and off by voice command.

    For such a small item, the speaker gives off a great sound whether combined with Amazon Music or just as an alarm clock. Only downside is that it doesn't work in the event of a power outage. So far, that is the only problem with this item.

    I actually got this as a free gift when I purchased my ring doorbell. I have the Show as well. It’s connected to my alarm so when I’m in my office it still announces if someone is at the door. Great gift!

    Alexa is by far the easiest smart device to own. With so many options to connect your house and life, I’m not sure how we lived without this. My house has 4 Alexa devices that communicate with each other.

    Better sound than expected. Echo can understand my speech even if it’s far away or a little low in volume. Bought it just turn off lights at night but now using it for music play and many more. Great buy.
