    We got this as part of a purchase promo and I really didn't expect much from it. It was a pleasant surprise - the ease of set up and sound quality are top notch.

    Control various devices just by asking Alexa! And gives you information quickly and efficiently. It's a gadget you dont know you need until you don't have it! Simple home automation with select and additional devices (smart hubs). On the privacy issue... well you're either on board or your not. So if you're reading the reviews just get it! You wont be disappointed. If you dont want it to listen to a conversation it has a mute button which disables the microphone and lets you know it's on mute with a red ring light. Or just unplug it! Sound is good too for such a small speaker, bluetooth enabled.

    We like them around the house to help out with the little things like weather and play music in different rooms. Easy to link with smart plugs and bulbs throughout the house.

    Nice sound for a small footprint. Had some difficulty connecting to bt speakers at first, but finds paired items fast once installed. Wish it had a portable power supply (battery) but maybe in gen 4. Does not interfere with my Alexa enabled sound bar, can have different sounds in different rooms.

    These small Echo Dots are really good to have around the house. They fit into bedrooms, we have one in the family room. Great to have when I want to call everyone to dinner or announce a company has arrived, etc. to get everyone into the same room. they are used as wake up alarms with just the alarm or music. They also help with homework problems. The only problem we have had is we can't use it in our home office because it can't pick up the Wi-Fi signal through the cement walls. The modem/router is in the main house.

    Replaced my Gen 1 Dot. In sale for $30. Biggest improvements are continuous connectivity and much better sound quality. Still not as good as Echo Get 2 but not far behind.
