    Good product. I have 2 echo dots and received this for free after a purchase. Like having all the dots in separate rooms for music or just listening to news or weather.

    The setup was a bit tedious through the app and it's not as loud as I hoped, but it is PERFECT for a little Alexa on your nightstand. Great for alarms, listening to books in bed, etc. I got it for $25, you can't beat it!

    I got this free for ordering another product. I decided to replace my 1st gen echo dot with this one. The sound quality and build is way better than the original. My only comment about this is it no longer uses a micro USB to power it.

    We have several Dots, two Fire cubes, a Show and a Stick. They all work pretty well most of the time but they do glitch sometimes. However, we do have one "idiot dot" as we call it. That one has issues finding some of our WEMO devices. It will control most of them, but for some reason it can't find certain WEMOs, even though all the other fire devices can.

    I listen to the radio in my office at work. I got this because it was on sale and I have a 2nd generation Echo Dot at home. I love it. I set reminders in the morning so I stay on schedule. It’s so easy to change what I’m listening to.

    Alexa!

    I got this at a great price during the recent Black Friday sale. This is now my 3rd echo dot which I placed at the kitchen. Setting up was easy and syncing with the other smart home devices around the house was seamless too. The only drawback with Alexa is the ability to link up with different Spotify accounts (it can only be linked to one) 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!

    The echo dot works perfectly. I'm able to answer phone calls, listen to music and check the current weather in my area. The ech dot can do so much more. It's a great purchase.

    My wife and I use this for storing notes and reminders. It controls my entertainment center. It sets timers for us while preparing meals. Its really handy to have one device that can do so many things and all from your voice commands.

    Bought it to compliment an echo show. Using in the bathroom to play pandora and Xm radio. Price was right. Like both very much. As an aside, I also have the google product and find it much more limited. Lacks a lot of features.

    The Alexa Echo is a great speaker! I play music on it all of the time and have no complaints. Also love that Alexa does about a million other things like trivia games which my whole family loves!

    I have these in both of my children’s room and they love them. My favorite feature is the drop in which makes it like an intercom so I can talk to the children when they are in their bedrooms.
