    Bought all three of my adult children echo dots. They love them. The whole family gets in on the action when they ask for jokes or to play games. We can all call each other now that everyone is connected.

    Got 2 as a promotional item when purchasing 2 TV's. It took a few minutes to configure but that is expected. Understands voice commands very well, and even from a distance. Sound quality is limited due to it's size, but is acceptible.

    Very convenient features that include playing music and controlling other Alexa enabled devices. Do yourself a favor and look into the phrases the device best recognizes.

    I currently have 4 Echo/Echo Dot devices in my house and 1 in my office. I utilize them a lot - play music, answer questions, notifications, lights, etc. They come in very handy and I love having them.

    I love my echo dot. It came with a tv I purchased and I never realized how much I would use it. Great for setting alarms, timers and listening to music.

    My wife and I got our first echo for a Christmas from my parents. Didn’t see much need. But now we have 5 in different rooms in the house. Great as intercoms or to play music everywhere. Highly recommend

    Alexa will tell you the weather, play music, or whatever else you ask her to do hands free. Nice little gadget. Received it free with my purchase. I plan to purchase more for around my home.

    I love my dot. I was hesitant with people complaining about the sound, but it is plenty loud! I would get this again in a heartbeat! Does everything the taller echo can do, but just a fraction of the size.

    Echo Dot Smart Speaker is my favorite way for listening to music in any room I want to relax, I just plug it into an outlet and make my request from my playlists on Amazon. No worries

    I can’t always get the main Alexa to hear me so I added extra of these small ones around so I can control music, lights, and other smart things without having to really shout everywhere like a mad man

    Trying to See the Utility

    I am interested in home automation so I thought I would start with the Dot to begin experimenting. Also picked up a set of smart light bulbs that work with Alexa. The lights in my bedroom which include two ceiling lights and two lamps are all connected to the Alexa so I can turn them on and off with a single voice command which is handy. So far that’s about it. I have the thermostat also connected to Alexa but I find it’s easier to use the Honeywell app on my phone to turn on the AC or make adjustments. The speaker is rather muffled so I don’t use it for music. I may connect it to my stereo to see if it sounds any better. Sometimes I ask for a weather report which is handy. Looking around the house for other potential applications. I’m thinking of a video surveillance system tied into the Alexa but have not researched which cameras would be best. So for now I have a rather expensive light switch that can tell me the weather report.

    The Amazon echo dot is the best. My husband and I really like it. I can set an alarm, listen to music, turn on and off lights, and many other things. Amazing product and good price.
