    I can’t believe this little device has such a great sound. Setup was about 2 minutes!

    Oh wow, what can I say about this new Echo Dot! I love it! I had the old generation Echo dots where the volume was so low you could barely hear it unless you were very close to it and these new Echo dots are close to the volume of the Echo Plus. It is really nice to have these when you have a whole house music system going and you can hear all the music playing all through the house.

    The dot is handy for asking simple questions and it also will adjust my Sonos playbar with just my voice.

    I have several other Echo Dots and Alexa products around my house and absolutely love them all. They sync up so easily to create a nice surround sound. Having older dots I can also say that this version of the Echo Dot is an upgrade in sound. It's so much clearer than on my earlier versions, I am thinking of replacing them with this version. I got a great deal on it at Best Buy also!

    We received the Echo Dot free with the purchase of a TV, and have been very pleased with it. We use if primarily for playing music; it's easy to just issue a voice command to play a certain genre of music, and can listen to styles that we normally would not or that we don't have in our collection. We also use it to check the time or as a timer.

    I bought a TV initially and in the process of buying the TV from Best Buy I got this Echo Dot for free. I am very pleased with the device as I can pair it with not only my phone but my TV and Laptop as well. She's always listening and I haven't really found much that she can't do. Even though I didn't directly buy it, after looking at it's average price I would definitely say it's a bang for your buck if you choose to buy it!

    We have this in the kitchen so i rely on this for music, asking about recipes, measurements, weather and just about anything! Just a handy item to have around the house. However, now, you have to subscribe to Amazon Prime music to be able to ask for a specific song when it used to be part of the package. That is the negative about it since they should have just thrown that in for the customers.

    Seems a bit picky with Siri and Alexa. Sometimes it will not complete the task until the second time given. But all in all its fun playing pranks on unsuspecting guests. Turning them on and off with the phone app.

    The Echo is sweet

    I got this Echo as a free gift when I purchased a ring during the holiday season. I am really enjoying the Echo, I primarily use it as a bluetooth speak, the base and sound is legit. I also enjoy talking to Alexa, because I don't have any friends, she carries a conversation well. I do get paranoid that Amazon is listening to me secretly, but there is a mute button. I've only heard Alexa laughing at night a few times, but its cool I don't mind.
