    Was never a big fan of the idea of a device always listening to what’s going on. But after using it a friends house to turn the lights on and off, my lazy butt was sold. Living in an older home without ceiling light/switches, we have to do with a lot of lamps. So smart plug and problem solved. One issue is that if you have multiple units as I do. In living room and in bed room. You can’t differentiate general commands. For example I can’t say lights on in bedroom as I do in living room because those were the first I set up. I had to name specific lights in bedroom. Like nightlight or tall lamp. Which after some searching I found is a common larger issue when using multiple units. But with one, no prob. Also make sure the device you are looking to connect to the echo(alexa) will do so directly and not through a hub. Made that mistake a few times... don’t always believe that “works with Alexa” means additional devices not need. Buyer beware. Speaker not that great either. Glad it came as free item. Wouldn’t pay for it. Considering the amount of information it’s collecting and selling. (Which is in the terms and condition FYI)

    I love this thing and use it all the time to play music, and to set alarms & timers. I have used it every day since I got it. I liked it so much I bought several more for Christmas gifts for my family and girlfriend.

    We enjoy our Dot and use it a lot for Amazon Music. This version is much nicer than the versions from years ago. It's design is more sleek and the speaker is a little better. It seems more durable.

    I got one with the idea of it being a novelty. After having it awhile I found out it wasn’t just a toy. It’s an awesome unit, with functions?

    What can I say that hasn’t been said about these, it’s an Echo Dot! We have them in every room now and they’re integral to so many things. Listening to music (great depth and range for such a small device), using it as an alarm clock or for running multiple kitchen timers while cooking, controlling smart devices (Alexa turn the porch light on), ordering from Amazon…this list could go on forever! Still learning new features all the time, too. And if you’re worried about privacy…either stop doing things online that you shouldn’t be or just trade in your smartphone for a landline. ;)

    Definitely a great buy. I got it for free with the tv I brought. I really like it very easy to set up. Can play music, set your calendar and a lot. To much to name but it basically does everything.

    Feel up to date now. The Echo Dot is a good choice for the amount of smart household item we have, which is not many and the price is right. Like having SiriusXM radio on demand. Easy to pair with the Ring Doorbell.

    The echo dot gets the job done, and is surprisingly louder than I thought it was going to be, does not need a separate speaker source if just using in a single room. Over all great product, and smooth setup.

    Echo dot three has much better sound and more reliable that echo 2. I really don't have anything negative to report as it is working very well to control the many devices I have from several different manufactures.

    We have 2 echo dots in our home and they are great. We mostly use them to play music, set alarms, ask for temperature updates, check time, and call to them from the app. It is a great product.

    I was hesitant at first to purchase a smart home assitance device, however, I am more than pleased with it. I now own 3 of them around the house.
