    Excellent option to add Alexa capability at home

    Verdict: the Echo dot adds Alexa capability to your home, or multiple rooms, at a fantastic value Value. The Echo dot provides access to the same Alexa capabilities as all other Echo devices but at a significantly lower price. If you don't need a powerful speaker in a particular room because you don't listen to music in that room, then the Echo Dot is perfect. We added Echo dots in a couple of rooms to control home automation: lights, thermostats, and switches. Installation. Once unpacked and plugged in, the Echo Dot is immediately ready for connection. You can set it up through the Alexa app from any smart phone or tablet. Just follow the instructions to connect it to wifi and then it will just work. Sound. Despite its size, the Echo Dot sounds pretty good! If you use the "Alexa, play music everywhere" command, then all your Echo devices will play the same music in every room that has an Echo device. So these Echo Dots act like ambiance or surround speakers throughout the house. Functionality. I really have no complaints about the actually device. It works well, the physical buttons are practical, and the sound is good. The ring light provides useful feedback about the device listening to you or working on a request. The amplitude of light also indicates the volume level. Overall, it is a fantastic device at an incredible price. I highly recommend it, as long as you are comfortable with potential privacy implications.

    I have to admit that it is fun to interact with Alexa. She will keep up a conversation with questions asked and play my Amazon music list at request. Sound is pretty good also.

    I never wanted something like this in my home. Then it was on sale and I figured...well its kinda like a radio, right? Now we use it all the time and I've bought one for almost every room in the house. Plays music. Plays books. Keeps lists. Tells us the time and temperature. Sets alarms (very useful for digital school). I've even gotten them as gifts for people now, too.

    I purchased the Ring Doorbell at Best Buy and the Echo Dot was included with the purchase. Thanks Best Buy! I love my Echo Dot! All you need to do is plug it in, get the app on your phone and follow the prompts. I ask Alexa silly questions, I ask her to play music, tell me jokes, set up my alarm, set up reminders, I ask for the weather, the time, etc. love it!

    Speaker is much more robust than I thought it would be the pricing was lowered enough that I justified two instead of one and no I have better Alexa coverage.
