    Second echo dot

    Bought a second echo dot for upstairs. I leave for work early in the morning and it’s nice to have a light on before I come down. It also made it much easier to control the Christmas lights.

    I have a bunch of echo devices. While the dot has always suffered in sound quality compared to its larger siblings, I feel like this one makes a large jump over the past echo dot in sound quality.

    The echo Dot has been really fun to use. From playing music, to viewing our security cameras, and controlling our thermostat this is a must have. I highly recommend this for someone who is upgrading to a smart home.

    Got a couple of these for the house around Christmas time. Great price for a great device. Sound is exceptional for such a small device, much better than the second generation dots. Looking forward to “smartifying” my home.

    Easy to setup and was surprised at how well it picked up my voice commands. It has a well rounded sound that fills the whole room. Glad I got two of them on sale as I use them in different parts of the house.

    I’ve really liked using the echo dot. I’ve compared with google home and the voice recognition seems superior with this device. The skills are more platform agnostic as well, which is nice when we have services from a variety of providers. Not 5 stars only because it does still struggle with commands sometimes. That’s to be expected with these devices.

    I bought this Alexa for my father in law who was looking to purchase one, and he have been loving the use of it every since. I have actually purchased more after the review he gave me on his.

    We use our Amazon Echo Dot around the house and outside on the screen porch. It is good to move from room to room and has a very nice sound. We really have been enjoying listening to it.

    I bought this as a Christmas gift for my nephew, along with a smart bulb and plug. He loves them. He has a blast using Alexa to play noises, music, ask questions, and turn the lights on/off lol

    Amazing!! It does everything I need it to do. Plays music tells the weather and some of everything. I absolutely have been enjoying it. Just make sure you have time to download the app.

    Kudos to Best Buy

    This review is not so much about the Dot because there are thousands of those to filter through. Clearly Amazon is phasing this version out because you’re limited to one color and no option for the one with the clock. That being said Amazon is offering this dot with a lightbulb on their site for the same price but with quite a delay in delivery. But not to be outdone Best Buy is offering the same deal plus 4 months Sirius XM! And you can pickup in 1 hour! How can you pass that up? You can’t. So if you’re in the market for one, buy now before they’re all gone! $19.99 plus free bulb and Sirius XM.

    Gave in and finally joined Alexa Nation. Still learning all the things Alexa can do. Paired two speakers, kind of like stereo. Very good sound for such a small unit. Amazon will take over the world soon!

    I was able to purchase this for a great price as an introduction to Alexa! Set up was easy enough for this grandmother! So much easier to access music and other smart devices. Order was easy and delivery was good too.

    Alexa has made my house great. Compatibility with the lights is the best part. My basement lights are on single pulls. Smart bulbs + Alexa for the win! No rewiring to put all on 1 circuit necessary!

    Great home accessory to make life easier. The sound is great and the various alexa compatible products are endless. I know the dot was upgraded - but I think this one is still a smart buy.

    I have 8 Dot Gen 3's and 1 Dot Gen 2 and I can't help but use them every day. They work and integrate with everything. I think these sound better than the google home and will be of more use in the future than Google.
