    for the price this is really good and i don't have any specific complaints, but in order to use it you need an app. the app takes up a lot of space and its really hard to use. there are also a lot of additional fees that come with this device

    This was free with purchase of Honeywell thermometer. The sound is fine for podcasts and desktop speaker. It can be connected to Bluetooth speakers or even wired speakers for higher fidelity. I didn't think I would use it but find I have used it much more as we automate things in the house.

    Purchased this for my father-in-law who is the least technical person I know - he owns a flip phone and doesn't have an email address. He can use the Echo Dot with no issues and loves it. Just talk to Alexa and she'll do the rest - or tell you she doesn't understand what you are asking.

    Amazon Alexa is one of my favorites. I have it hooked up to my Hue lights, Fire TV, some smart plugs, and my PS4 and Xbox One X. She is able to learn certain skills where you can tell her to tell a joke, ask questions, quote movies, and many more, The sky's the limit for what this device can do and the speaker is great for a small room.

    I purchased an Echo Dot back in the summer and fell in live with it. Since then, I have purchased four more of them as Christmas gifts. Best Buy had a great offer that allowed me to purchase a smart bulb and plug for just 5.00 each with the purchase of an Echo Dot. I couldn’t pass that deal up. These things are great.

    Cool Gadget with a few Privacy Concerns.

    This 3rd Gen Echo Dot is good in my opinion. It has a loud enough speaker that I can understand what Alexa is saying and when playing music it sounds as good as a radio tuned to Max Volume. The only thing is that constant listing for the "Wake" word which is worrisome in today's age of privacy invasion. But for the most part, it is a fun addition to your smart home if you choose to go down that path of Automation.

    Very excited to purchase this! I’ve been wanting one for a while so my 3.5 year old can play her songs- finally got it and I’m very satisfied. Alexa responds well to her voice commands and the sound quality is great. We have so much fun w this and I consider it money well spent.

    We use this almost everyday. Lots of reminders and random questions get answered on this thing. Its very easy to set up, even for beginners to the tech. If you're interested in getting one of these, remember that internet is required! and I am pretty sure you need to have a smart phone to configure its settings.

    This is a great device to have in your home. It does everything from answering questions, reading e-mails and calendar appointments, to controlling smart devices in your house. I would recommend pairing this product with a simple compatible smart device such as a plug or light bulbs. This makes this small device very useful.

    I already had a Alexa system in the house, and I got this in addtion for free with my TV purchase. I put it in my office, since I didn't have an Alexa set up in there. Works great and connected right away.
