    This echo that is a lot of fun. The kids love telling it what to do. They play with it as if it is a toy. Great price, economical and it something the whole family will enjoy. I got it even cheaper than priced during The Black Friday sale at my favorite store Best Buy.

    I now can control lights with Alexa voice command using smart bulbs, I can play music in multiple rooms at the same time. I use it as a intercom within my home, I can drop in calls with my parents, listen to bible readings and I’m still exploring new skills every day.

    This is a great little device. I use mine in the bathroom, because I have the echo show set up in the kitchen. When I’m getting ready I can listen to music, very clear, loud, and can also check the weather, etc..., for that day as I’m getting ready.

    I love my Echo Dot. It's easy to communicate with Alexa. The sound quality is awesome. I can listen to my music and research information using Alexa as well. I bought two devices for my kids to enjoy. They love their devices!

    We love the echo dots and this one is the best yet. Sound quality is much nicer than the previous generation and it looks nicer too. Alexa is extremely responsive and surprises us with her answers from time to time. I’d have one in every room if my wife would allow it.

    We had the original first generation dot and liked it fine. This one looks nicer and seems like a great upgrade. It’s got great sound for such a small speaker. Really packs a punch! We’ve paired it with other dots to have house “surround sound.” Great gift. Very happy!

    We purchased this when it was on sale a few months back, and it works very good. It is constantly "alert" and ready for commands. We use it mostly to communicate from one room at one end of the house to another, so we don't have to yell at each other. It works great.

    Alexa is amazing and compatible devices are becoming addicting! I've now bought more than 8 compatible devices and looking to pick up another alexa or 2 for the house once they're in-stock again.

    Never thought I would find this useful. I actually like and use it on a daily basis for alarms, weather, news, phone calls and in conjunction with my Chime doorbell. The drop in feature is nice too. Works as a home intercom.

    I used my Dots in sync with my Blink doorbell so that I can hear the doorbell ring anywhere in the house. I then started using it to play music and give me reminders for different things.

    This is our third Echo Dot. Will use this one to monitor our ring doorbell that we purchased at the same time. We listen to a lot of Pandora with this Dot too. I have also recently purchased a smart plug to use so this.can turn on and off my lights when I ask it to .

    Like most people I have these all over my house. The newest 3rd generation update improves the speakers both with hardware and by their placement. It does make it a bit more difficult to wall or ceiling mount them though so if that's what you need to do, consider opting for the 1st or 2nd generation versions where the speaker was not on the sides. But if you are just placing it on a desk or table, this one is ideal.

    The Echo Dot is a good cheap way to listen to music in your bedroom and control the lights. We all know why it's cheap though, Amazon is listening and targeting ads, etc...know what you are getting into when you plug Alexa in.
