    Amazon Echo Dot as a gift

    The Amazon Echo Dot is a small non-intrusive Alexia device with speakers. For locations where you want to have Alexia present without dominating the area. These were purchased as gifts and are still in use.

    Good sound and response. Have no issues with it. Actually am using it with the microphone turned off in the same room as another unit but put it in the same sound group so I can have multiple speakers playing in the same room the music I want to listen to.

    I thought I didn’t need this so never bought one but got one free when I purchased a tv. Now I use it every morning to give me the updates of the day. I also like that it tells me my amazon notices

    These are great to have in the house. We use a lot of smart lighting. And it does great controlling smart home devices. And being deep in the Amazon ecosystem, it does great with our Fire Tv’s. And we also love being able to play music everywhere all at once.

    I recently needed a new Echodot. Checked other sources and found a high price. Went to Best Buy and bought two echo-dots for half the price I found elsewhere. Brand new units, worked perfectly!

    I am enjoying my new Dot and learning all it's capabilities. I bought smart plugs so I can control some of my lamps by voice. I like being able to give it many verbal commands that I would previously have typed into my phone or laptop. Makes life easier, for sure! Happy with my purchase.

    Alexa can do almost anything for todays homeowner with the proper additional peripherals of course. The concept of a smart home voice assistant was available to only the rich and famous not that many years ago. Today everyone can control their environment and entertainment with voice commands.

    I simply love these speakers. I have twelve of them all around my house. I have them grouped do I have music in every room and I set the volume on each separately to have a wonderful sounding system in the whole house.

    I'm quite late to the tech party, but I find this Amazon Echo Dot to be an amazing little gadget for a great price. Takes the place of so many things, a clock, a radio, a dictionary, a complete set of encyclopedias, a cookbook, and it will even tell me a joke!

    I have the 2nd gen dot, echo spot and the cube. They all connect excellent with external speakers. This 3rd gen dot has more bass which makes better as a standalone. The bonus free smartlights got my attention with the deal of the day. Bring back the promo again soon and I'll spread the word.

    This little gadget is amazing! I love to listen to the music I can get because this tiny powerhouse has great sound. I use it to set a timer and get the local weather. I have not gotten the plugs to have it turn on my lights yet, but that will come soon. I recommend this to anyone!

    The price was fantastic. I received one as a Christmas gift and love it. I have bought several to give to friends and family. It is so easy to set up and use. You just download app your phone, plug it in to an electrical outlet and it’s ready to go.

    First time having a smart home device it controls everything of my lights my thermostat my TV I sound system. I don't recommend Smart Lock for the doors because the Alexa can hear you outside can unlock the doors the outside and that's really bad. But I would still recommend this to friends and family

    My first echo ever. Actually very useful, specifically with me a new mom I have hundred things to do during the day, it’s great being able to yell at from the laundry room to turn off the lights or play some music on Spotify.

    Alexa is my new best friend. I wasn’t in the market for an echo and I didn’t really think I would even like it but it came free with the tv I purchased. It was easy to set up and the more I learn about what it can do, the more I love it.

    This was an added bonus with my tv purchase and I'm happy I took advantage of this offer. Once you figure out the technical side of linking it to all of your compatible devices, it's a life changer. Small but mighty sound.
