    My parents received this Echo Dot with their 50" smart TV purchase and they have been so excited to use it. Its been very convenient for them with the integration with their tv and they even purchased light bulbs they can use via echo dot. The sound quality is amazing and overall is an amazing addition to all their gadgets.

    After my mom got a couple of these for free and I ended up setting them up for her, I surprisingly found it helpful so I bought one. It’s extremely reliable and quick to respond. Works great with TP Link wifi controlled switches. Supposedly it will work with Ring soon.

    We got this with a TV that we had purchased. It is great. We have it in the kitchen and love using it to listen to music while cleaning, using the timers, and playing games. We have other dots in our kids room for bedtime music and our room. We love them and definitely recommend.

    Got a deal where this came with the Ring doorbell. Love Alexa as long as you don’t know anyone with a similar name. We refer to her as the person on the desk to avoid being questioned so much.

    This was my first echo dot & we love it! The ease of placing calls, checking the weather, listening to music or asking any random question is fabulous. One of my favorite things is to use the sleep sounds to help me go to sleep. If you don’t have Alexa you are missing out! I will definitely be adding more units to my home.

    I am a fan. We already had an Echo Dot, now we have two. You can sync up the two speakers and have music playing throughout the house. I am really enjoying this smart speaker. I am able to control all our smart plugs and devices, this with very little setup.

    My husband had a stroke about 6 months ago. He constantly asks the same questions over and over again, which is normal except that he gets embarrassed because he continually asks the same questions. With Alexa, he can ask what the current day and time is, what the weather for the day is, etc. Without feeling like he is bothering me. He loves it.

    An Echo at a reasonable price. Small size and stylish design. The gray design is distinctive from the previous black units. Great for home or as a gift for college students and/or the elderly.

    A Must Have

    Initially got the echo for Christmas and didn’t think it was a need, until we hooked it up to a hard to reach lamp. Since then we’ve bought the Echo Dot for our bedroom, as well as several Smart plugs and Smart bulbs for around the house. Having our lamps and even our Christmas tree activated by voice command is such a game changer. Life is so much easier now, especially with our hands full holding our baby. We can dim the light with our Smart bulb for night feedings and even change the light to all sorts of colors. We can play music from Pandora over the Echo, play all sorts of games and even ambient sounds for baby when she sleeps. No need for any other sound machine or gadgets. We don’t know how we ever lived without it. The hubs and I definitely recommend this product.

    It is very convenient to have once you get used to it. You can ask it the weather, have it play music, or ask general questions. You can also set up smart home features. It does a pretty good job of understanding normal speech, so you don't have to memorize some set of command words, but it is not 100% accurate and may be frustrating sometimes.

    Thought just pressing a few buttons on my remote was the best way to control my electronics but hate to admit it but I was "mostly" wrong. She is gradually winning me over but darn having another woman to answer to sometimes is a little strange but I got to say it's more good than bad. She seems to understand my commands better every day and she has stopped giving me a hard time about the way I pronounce some of my words. Good range and for such a small foot print she is big were it counts.Yep she's winning me over faster every day.

    I was surprised by the quality of sound this little speaker provides. Perfect for the bathroom for getting ready in the morning checking weather news and listening to music/the radio. Makes it easy to drop-in on the kids' Alexas to make sure they are getting ready without having to be decent enough to leave the bathroom.
