    I got a first gen echo a while ago. I didn’t find it useful at first. I now have two in my home and one a work as well as an ecobee and two amazon smart plugs. I can now control the temp and lighting in my house from anywhere. The echo also helps me keep organized. Very useful.

    I really like this. What makes this a steal is the sound quality, which is very good. Pair it up with another for stereo sound and it’s fantastic. You’d be hard pressed to find any speaker at this price point that had this good a sound, and the fact it does so much more only makes it better

    This is a neat little gadget. My kids love asking "Alexa" questions and hearing jokes and weather information. We also use it to listen to music. It's very convenient and easy to play songs and playlists from our Amazon account.

    This Alexa generation is the best yet! I also have the 4th Generation that was gifted to me and it is not as good as the 3rd generation. The voice-enable function in the 3rd Gen Alexa is just great, it can listen to your soft voice commands.

    Alex is fun to have around to answer those questions about the outside temp, what the weather is going to be for the weekend. It was easy to set up with the voice commands and voice recognition. She even lets you change her wake up word. Have second unit to install.

    I had an Amazon Echo Dot already and love it so much I wanted another. So many uses that I don’t know how I did without it. From the news & weather to music, meditation and making lists I can access on my phone, Alexa makes things so much easier.

    We received this as part of the sale offered for a 43inch Toshiba flat screen TV. Bought the TV for our son to take to the college dorm and received the Echo Dot as part of the sale. The Echo Dot was easy to set up and our son and his roommate love the Echo Dot convenience.

    I love Alexa! She keeps me on track with timers and alarms. Now I just was washer timer and she has memorized the timing. This is my second that I added. I recently learned to play music throughout the house so it added even more to my excitement.

    I am not tech savvy and was worried about adding this technology to my home. A friend came over to walk me through set up but as we went through it I realized just how easy it would have been to set it up on my own. Once you download the app, it and the Echo Dot walk you right through it.

    If you are on the fence from upgrading your Echo Dot 2nd Gen to 3rd Gen, it is very worth it. The Speaker is way deeper and louder sounding and sounds GREAT! Would definitely recommend this as a quick way to set timers, reminders, and ask about the weather.

    I used this in my bonus room for my smart plug which controls my lights as well as other Dot uses, and it saves me so much effort to turning them on and off. The setup was really simple, quick and easy plus I have never had any problems with it at all!

    Nice addition to our home! At first, I didn’t think it would be necessary but after having it for a month, my daughter uses it frequently! Best of all, it was free with our purchase!

    I just purchased 3 of the Echo Dot, 3rd gen to add to my two 2nd gen Echo Dots. Two for my store and 3 for home so I can talk with someone in another room. Easy way to communicate with family in another room if you are in the middle of doing something and don't want to stop.

    I was surprised at the quality of sound that came from such a small item. Very clear at a high volume. Fun to use. My 7 yo makes requests to her all the time and it’s fun to hear her reply’s. The sound picks up from a longer distance than I expected. I have purchased several more as gifts.

    Great small Alexa for a bedroom. We have them in all our rooms and use them all the time. The kids especially find them useful asking all kids of questions, setting reminders and alarms. We use them like an intercom too.

    I was hesitant at the beginning because I'm from Mexico and my accent is strong, I thought I was going to have problems with Alexa understanding me. I'm very happy to have found out that the AI is really good, it understands me quite well and I haven't had any problems with it. It also has surprisingly good sound for its size, very loud, clear, and quality sound overall. It's not a thousand dollar bose sound but very nice for the size and type of product. Very useful to control home automation devices that it is what I use the most. You can link it very easily to Samsung Smartthings that it's my setup.

    The Echo Dot can have multiple features that can be added to enhance it skills. You can the Echo questions, play music, get the weather and also with added amazon skills you can control lights, arm and disarm your alarm system, turn on the tv, change the channels. All kinds of cool stuff!

    I bought this to pair with my Phillips Hue lights but loved it so much for the other features that I now own 5. There are so many ways that you can use this product, such as controlling lights, playing music, intercom for other rooms and games to name a few. Definitely worth the money!!!
