    I have several of these around my house to access my various connected devices, primarily lights. If you are an audiophile, the speaker quality might leave something to be desired, but for everyday use in controlling connected devices and playing music and news - they work very well.

    We purchased this to put at my wifes daycare and the little ones really enjoy telling Alexa what song to play. They don't need to be able to touch it or know how it works, they can just talk to it!!!

    Hard to imagine before having an Echo in the house. We have the video version downstairs and wanted one for upstairs. Great addition to ask those quick questions and play your favorite music. The Echo Dot version is at a perfect pricepoint to add to additional rooms.

    I got this at a great price during the recent Black Friday sale. This is now my 4th echo dot which I placed it in my son's gaming room. Everything was easy including setup and use. The only drawback which I mentioned in my other review is that Alexa only allows you to link 1 Spotify account. And because of this limitation, you can only play music from one Spotify account at any single point in time. For example, if my wife plays music from the echo dot in the kitchen via Spotify, I cannot play music from Spotify on another echo at a different part of the house. I also cannot play Spotify from my phone without terminating the earlier playback since Spotify only allows you to play at a single source at any given point in time. If Alexa can allow multiple Spotify accounts (which many of us do with the family plan), this will be a 5 star rating! I ended up setting up this echo dot under my son's Alexa account which allows him to link this to his Spotify account. However, this means that this echo dot is in a separate set up as my other echo dots.

    We wanted an better way to communicate between floors on the house and this works great for that. Alexa is great for hands-off questions, getting weather, setting reminders, etc. It's easy to use but there are almost too many options. I like playing background music from Amazon or the services that I already have. It would be nice if there was a digital audio output to connect to my stereo. The sound is OK but not great.

    This came as a gift with purchase when I got my Ring cameras. I wasn't ever interested in a Dot prior... but I didn't know what I was missing! Now I find myself trying to ask Alexa to do things when I'm not near her! Might have to purchase a few more!

    I bought the dot to work with the tv I got. I was overly surprised to find out it worked with our Ring system. I am going to get some smart bulbs for the lights very soon Alexa makes life so easy!!

    Love my echo dot! Super useful when your bored. I always ask her dumb questions and she always has an answer. Also when I am to lazy to do things she’s the perfect helper like state the time or what the weather is outside for the day.

    I absolutely love this item and it works great. A lot of the things I'd have to type into the remote are handled as voice-recognition/responses. Installation was simple.

    I got this for free with the purchase of my tv so I wasn't expecting anything from it. Little did I know it would become essential to my living. I now have a ton of smart devices that I control with this little echo. I absolutely adore the little beast!
