    Bought this Alexa for my daughter for Christmas. She enjoys music and I figured she’d love it compared to using YouTube to listen to music. We have the Show and I can communicate with her through the Alexas if need be.

    Mom has mobility issues these days and should not be trying to get around in the dark. Have paired this with WIFI light bulbs. Now she can tell the lights to come on, and they do. Also love the ability to use as phone in emergency.

    I purchased this unit as a Secret Santa gift. After the person won it, I explained to them how the Alexa units work and how simple they tend to make life. She went off and bought one for each bedroom of her house (she loved it so much after using it for a week).

    This is my second echo, it is in my living room / dining room area (small home). I love it. Just recently, I set up a few routines, which I really like. I also got a smart power strip, and now I can voice control turning on my lamp, seems silly but it is nice.

    Received one of these for free when we bought our new TV. Came back and got two more for other rooms of the house. Now we can have music throughout the house as well as an intercom system using the "Drop In" function. Great item for the money.

    I have 10 of these throughout the house. They are great and mostly used to talk to other family members that are in other parts of the house and to announce things like "I'm on my way home from the grocery store please come out and help".

    Ease of setup was a plus. Mostly used as a speaker for music to and to check weather. Still somewhat paranoid about having a device always listening, but the ability to mute the mic is great. I received the product free with a purchase, otherwise I would not have purchased it, but it serves a purpose in my home.

    This sits next to the armchair in front of the of our new smart TV. Could we control the TV with a remote? Sure, but this makes everything just that much easier, especially for my vision impaired mother who can't clearly see remote buttons.

    We bought this $20 item to add to our existing 2 Echo Dot (3rd gen), because it is so convenient and nice to access the info by voice activation. It is light weight and can be placed anywhere in a room without taking up much space.

    Echo dot is easy to use and very simple device, the sound is okay but it does most of the things other higher level echo devices. If you just want to have an Alexa command device with decent sound, it should work out just fine.

    Surprise free bonus which was included with the purchase of a TV. The Echo Dot has the ability to play music, answer questions, as well as many other features. It is hands free and very portable.

    We already have a couple of Google Home Minis, and picked this up for my daughter. Setup was a breeze and it seems to have a LOT more functionality than the Google Home Mini. I wish we had gotten the Echo Dots in the first place!

    I enjoy talking to the echo and watching it turn off my lights and lower the temperature in my house. listening to music is fine as well but the speaker will distort the sound at higher volumes. I would recommend connecting the echo Dot to an existing speaker. This is a cool gift but completely unnecessary. All of my automated household items that work work Alexa have their own apps that work with speech and touch right off of my phone.

    The echo dot is super handy, it’s great for setting alarms to playing music and listening to my podcasts. I give it a 10/10 because it has so many uses that I am continually finding out. The sales price made it even better.

    We are seniors and hadn’t considered the Alexa until my brother on law showed us his. We couldn’t be happier with it. Love to have Alexa play us music and answer various questions. We are learning new things every day. Five stars!

    Easy to use and navigate. I bought two as Christmas presents for my grown children after they came over and throughly enjoyed asking Alexia to do things. My husband has set it up to control the lights and Christmas tree.
