    I could not believe how easy it was to set up and use. Never thought I would be a person talking to a “robot “ but love getting weather reports, jokes, etc. from Alexa.

    This came with our RING purchase and it has been such a blast to have in the house! Alerts us when people are at the door to letting us listen to Christmas Music and Air1 Radio! Definitely will be looking at more for around the house in the near future!

    I absolutely love it. It plays music, answers questions, tells you the time, gives you cooking conversions, sets alarms and tells you jokes and much much more! I do find myself yelling at her sometimes but she is very helpful!!!

    We love our Alexa. This one sounds the best compared to 1st and 2nd gen. I have it in the kitchen and play music from it often while cooking. Almost never does she think I’m talking to her like the other ones do.

    Love this version of the dot ! better base for it's size and i also use it with the second gen echo. we use it for many functions. i like the ability to use it as an intercom system in the house. Better than yelling all the time up and down the stairs.

    I bought one for my husband for Christmas, he loved it so much that we bought 2 more. We've played games with it, with the dot buttons, ask questions, listen to music and are also buying more smart plugs and accessories to go with it.

    We have Alexa set up to control the lights and TV, generally works well. I love having my music playing in the whole house with different Echo devices in each room.

    The novelty of this digital assistant was pretty cool for awhile. It operated flawlessly too. I ended up ditching it though because privacy is a major value for me and I didn't want a perpetual audience.

    Works great, along with all the echo products we have around the house. Scares the living ‘you know what’ out of me when she wants to update herself at 3 AM unknowingly.

    I bought 2 of these as they were having a special at Christmas time. It is fun having this small Alexa. She reminds me of things on my Calendar and tells me that a package has arrived. And plays music whenever I ask.

    Love these little Alexis! They are small enough to not get in the way but the functionality is great. Bought one for each of my daughters and they love it! The bonus was they each came with an extra lightbulb.

    I like this Echo dot just fine, but think it induces us to a sedentary life style. I use it sparingly, but I can see that it would be a wonderful device for those who have mobility problems. It is a very attractive device that does not distract from any room setting. I would wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone who has mobility problems, and even to others who just love playing with gadgets, like myself!

    We use these across the country to stay easily connected. The DOTs are super simple to setup, as easy to use as asking a question, and useful for reminders and alarms. Alexa's uses are almost infinite and those uses grow in number each day.

    This was my first echo dot, I purchased this because my Ecobee couldn’t do everything the dot could. It connects to my Bluetooth sound bar, controls lights and answers me when I have a question. Every morning I get an update and have set many reminders

    I like the fact that I can listen to music without having to have a big radio. However I didn't realize that I would have to subscribe to amazon music to be able to pick what songs I wanted to listen to but listening to just the plain radio is free.
