    I didn't think I'd like this. But the sound quality really isn't too bad, I have 2 set up in a group on my main PC for watching YouTube videos. The fact that there is a music quiz game (from Alexa, not the speaker itself) makes for fun family games nights. The sound quality for music is really subjective, true audiophiles will want to go elsewhere, but for general music parties with my wife, it's good.

    Love this. My only complaint is sometimes it doesn’t do what I ask. I love how it links to other echos which means I can play music in all my rooms at the same time. It’s connected to all of my smart bulbs which makes it easy to turn on/off lights.

    Echo + Alexa app does a lot

    The amazon echo is a great addition to your home if you are open to having mics listening in on your activities and conversations. I know some don't like that, but those who allow it will find great convenience in getting information about weather, movies, actors, jokes, and more. Plus, you'll be able to request music, and with a little effort in the app, you can have the same music playing via a group across multiple echos and fire sticks, giving you a great way to have a sonos-like environment. While the intelligence of the questions aren't up to par with Google's similar devices, the echo will suffice for most. Just don't expect it to answer complex questions, or provide extremely precise answers in all cases. And if you're a smart home user who likes to control lights, thermostats, etc., then the echo and its alexa app let you do lots of cool things, and even automate them with routines (e.g., say "goodnight" at the end of the day to turn off all the lights and lower the thermostat). What's especially nice is if you have multiple brands, the alexa app bridges that complexity so it all plays nicely together. Keep a spare echo ready in your music group and you can bring it outside on the deck on a nice day and have your music - and control of your music - at your side. Just wish they'd come out with a waterproof or outdoor version to have it out there all the time.

    I’ve had this item for a year now and it has been my favorite tech in my room. Alexa answers all my questions, wakes me up, and turns on and off all my lights in my rooms. Super easy to set up and use. I bought one for my parents to and they loveeee it.

    I have been using the Amazon Echo Dot ever since its launch (Gen 1). I use them to control ALL of my smart devices throughout my home, as an alarm, when I have random trivia questions, and for so many other things! I have purchased many for gifts as well. Great little smart speaker; you can't beat the price!!

    Great Echo Dot

    I am pleasantly surprised with the Echo Dot. Like any Echo devices, it's easy to setup and use. Truly a miniature version of the larger Echo devices. I cannot compare against Gen 1 or 2 but I'd imagine that there are improvements. If you have other Echo devices, the Dot is a great addition. If this is the only Echo devices that you own, it is equally good.The Dot is perfect for the bedroom, kitchen, basement, family room, or home office. Literally just about anywhere in your house. Working exactly like larger Echo devices, you can Alexa for a weather forecast, news update, time, play trivia, or interesting facts. The Dot can also be used as a bluetooth speaker. It is certainly not going to be as loud, offer better bass, mids/lows as a full fledged BT speaker or larger Echo but holds its own.TIP:Do you want louder and better sound quality? Pair a bluetooth speaker with the Dot or use connect a speaker using the AUX port located on the back of the Dot.If you have smart plugs, lights or other devices in your house, the Dot can control all of those. Placing the Dot on a night stand, you can ask Alexa to turn the table lamp on or off. I tested calling with the Echo Dot and it was good. The sound was clear and the person on the other end could clearly hear me. The Dot can stream Apple Music, Spotify, Tune-in, NPR, etc, and pair with another Dot for stereo sound.

    My first Alexia, and not my last. This device is pretty good. The main use i have for it is turning on my different room lights and off again. I also use it as a speaker which gets pretty loud, Loud enough to fill up my enough house. (I live in a 4 bedroom house.)

    Another great purchase, we are so excited about our echo dot new generation. It works really with my doorbell ring. It even helps me cook, it has a create reminder alarm clock schedule fixer. Plus much more keeps me informed with the weather and what’s going on around the world.

    I love this! I can tell it to turn on and off my tv, turn up and down the tv’s volume, turn on and off my light, and I have it set up to tell me when my packages are delivered. Its very useful. It also has an app you can use to hook everything up to it.

    This version of the dot is the first one I would recommend to someone who is interested in a smart speaker but not willing to spend much. The biggest drawback to the previous generation was the sound quality/loudness. I use my echoes mostly for controlling connected devices and listening to podcasts, so I felt like the older echo dot was OK for most things I would require. But even for casual music listening, it wasn't up to snuff. The new one actually has bass and sounds good to me, but it's not going to sound like a Sonos or anything and I'm not an audiophile but I do think this will satisfy the majority of people's expectations for $50. I also have the $100 full size Echo from 2017 and the new echo dot has about 65% of the sound quality and loudness of that model vs the older dot having about 15% of the sound quality of the full size echo. I have been using this new dot for a few days without any issues. I love it and I think you should get one!

    These are great although they could be better if there wasn't so much to go through to set them up and then connecting any other device to them.
