    I am truly impressed with the sound this little device can put out! I have the original Echo device and the sound on it was excellent. I would not put the quality of the bass on the dot compared to the Echo but not bad, not bad!

    This is such a fun and useful gadget to have in your home. My grandkids love to play with Alexa, ask her question and joke with her. I love her in the kitchen to ask the weather, check my calendar, etc while my coffe is brewing.

    Temporary fix for musical entertainment

    The echo dot is easy to set up and very convenient to use to get needed information I. e. Getting weater and sports updates. I use it with an external bluetooth speaker to play music since my main system recently went down. One thing the echo dot does well is put out good clear music for such a small unit. Only con is trying to play the unit speaker while paired to 1 external speaker.

    Took advantage of the pair for $50. We have an Amazon show in the kitchen. We use these in the bedrooms. They work great for info, weather, news etc. Good for music. As an alarm. Work with voice calling with your smart phone.

    Great upgrade from previous Echo Dot

    While this is larger than the previous Echo Dot, the rubber like material on top and the mesh wrap around is a step up. The sound quality and increase in volume level is what I found to be the biggest improvement... That said, I feel that there is no true mid level volume. My experience is that if I’m looking for that “sweet spot” it doesn’t exist, as it’s either quieter than I would like it to be or louder than I would like it to be. I did purchase two Dots for one room for the purpose of stereo sound. This is where I believe Amazon fell short. For the last few years, I have been able to use a pair of very inexpensive Bluetooth wireless speakers at the same time for listening to music from my cell phone & laptop. With the Dot, you are limited as to what will play in stereo and what won’t. I feel as if I have taken a step back in time with respect to technology as relates to this issue. My only other hope for future Dots is that they make them waterproof. Again, I have wireless Bluetooth speakers that I can attach via suction cup to my shower wall. I’d like to be able to take advantage of the smart home I’ve created, forged on the foundation of the Echo Dot when I’m in the shower, or anywhere there might be water. Bottom line, for the price you can’t beat it. Amazon has made improvements. I am hoping for refinements with the next generation Dot.
