    If you use Amazon at all this is a purchase that pays for itself. You can sync it with your Amazon account. I don't use the shopping aspect of it but mainly ask it questions or will have it play my Amazon music. Amazon music has such a wide selection and its volume gets really loud so you can listen to it throughout the house. It has been a big hit here.

    I've enjoyed Alexa's help on several things. I like being able to find out the time when it's dark or I don't have my glasses on. I can turn off lights in other parts of the house when I don't want to get up to do it. One of the best things is being able to create a list of people to contact if you need help. The ability to get reminders and create lists I can get on my phone are great too, Love the Echo!!

    We love our new Alexa devices. It has made things easier in a lot of ways. We use the timer and music functions while in the kitchens, as well as the drop in feature to have intercoms around the house. I especially enjoyed the routine function that allows us to set a series of command functions i.e. turn off lights, and turn on switch with just one phrase. Works well with Phillips Hue and TP Link switches

    I had an echo dot (2nd gen) before making this purchase, but after reading the reviews I decided to get another one for the bedroom. I read about the increased sound quality which made my decision to purchase another one easier. My 2nd gen is connected to a stereo and it needs it because it is in a much larger area. The 3rd gen is not connected and the sound functions just fine within the confines of my bedroom. However, when making calls with the 3rd gen as opposed to the 2nd gen, more than one person has said that the 2nd gen sounds much better. I have not been able to determine that it hears me better than the previous gen, but at $29.99 I have no complaints.

    I control my lights, outlets and TV with this device. I have another one in the house too. I need to get two more so I can control everything else from anywhere in the house. Oh, and I have a Bose SoundTouch Portable on WIFI Connection. Alexa controls it too. Super cool to live a life like Star Trek in the year 2019. I plan to buy more Alexa controlled devices in the future too.

    What a fun device to add to our home. We enjoyed setting our device up to outlets to control lamps by voice. Our daughter checks the weather everyday before school, we okay music almost daily, and we have reminders to announce everyone's birthdays in the house.

    I have several spread around my house as I have many Amazon Plugs, Hue bulbs, and a few other devices to control. The Guard feature really works as it detected my dogs nails on the floor as they played. It did sound like glass breakage. I was able to listen to the trigger sound and drop in to that particular dot to continue listening. Really neat feature I appreciate.

    To be honest, I just got this out of curiosity to see what it could do. My wife is pretty skeptical about having one in the house with the report of these things recording your conversations. I didn't get this with the intent of doing any home automation. I did also get an Echo Show that I connected to the Ring doorbell to monitor the front door. So, it doesn't get used around here a lot except to check the weather, monitor the Ring doorbell, ask an occasional question, and stream the occasional music. I'm actually impressed with what this thing can do. Maybe I'll find more uses for it.

    This is the perfect product for elderly people, especially if they live alone. It allows them the safety of being able to contact help if they have fallen and cannot get up. They are able to call for help by simply asking Alexa to call daughter or son or emergency. Simply program your phonebook with their name and number and they can just ask for the first name and then Alexa can call directly for help. This adds a very big piece if mind to know they can quickly contact you if they need help. It also answers questions like what time is it or what is the weather forecast. Or it will play their favorite music by just requesting Alexa to play their music. You can even program Alexa to turn on and off lights and other things at a certain time or on demand.
