    I was very surprised at how well this little thing projects sound. It's literally the size of a hockey puck, but can really do a great job at filling a room with music. Can understand your requests quite well, and very simple to setup and use.

    Great intro into the world of what Alexa can do. It has nearly all the functions of the more expensive models and was actually fun to learn and add additional units in other rooms. The speakers have surprisingly good sound.

    Great idea for older folks, they can just talk to it, hear music, ask various questions, and can hook up to a phone and have a safety of "call xxx" if they fall, also hooked up to lights, so they can turn off and on verbally.

    The sound on this speaker is absolutely incredible for such a small device. I wish it was cordless and rechargeable but responds well and it great for playing music. Considering getting another one for another area if the house!

    First of all why in the world do I need to have 50 word minimum ?? I've NOT given reviews for this very reason ! I would think any review you would want to hear........... This is plain goofy to me ! Well as to the purchase of the Amazon - Echo Dot (3nd Gen)- Smart Speaker with Alexa -Charcoal. I really enjoy it. I would tell others to get one. I do plan on buying another one. Hope this meets with the 50 characters. Thank you. PS - fixt that 50 thing. You will either get no ans. back or some body just going on to meet it .................................................................

    At first I was skeptical, then I installed it, and started to use it. It plays music, games, trivia, also sets reminders for me, and I use it as an alarm sometimes. I have 2 more installed and it works great as an intercom system when needed.

    I love my new echo dot it’s loud and the sound quality is amazing for such a small speaker! The only problem is it sometimes has a Bluetooth problems when connecting to my phone, but other than that it’s great.

    Purchased this as a Christmas gift and we're told it was easy to hook-up to their wifi. The sound quality is good, but not great; but then again, it's not a Bose system so that's not a knock on it. The bulb works well in the kids' room and they have fun with the changing colors. This wasn't expensive, so it was a good buy.

    I have 4 dots in my home in addition to the ecobee with Alexa. I even have one in my classroom. I love the fact that it can control so much in the home. You can even crank your car with it if you have the feature from onstar and etc. It gets really loud and understands most of the time. I live by these and the price $20 was amazing.
