    I use it for some of my home automation and voice control devices. Got it during a deal so it is a good value. The sound is a little better than the gen 2 model. A little more bass and a little louder.

    Love Alexa and this echo dot provides good sound and it doesn’t take much space. Also, it is cheap so you can add one in each room of your house.

    We have three different Echo devices (this dot, a 5, and an 8 inch Echo Show) and this one is great to just have in every room for Alexa access. The speaker is adequate (the Shows have more robust sound), and it hears you clearly. Sometimes it does think you're saying "Alexa" when you're actually saying something like "Well, let's go...", but that is more amusing than annoying. It's the cheapest way to get into the smart home game, and paired with the Alexa app, it's really easy to get started.

    I originally bought 2 dots for my new house just to see what they were all about. I had them for roughly a week and decided to get 2 more to put in other rooms. Out of the box they are very simple to get set up and started and the app is easy to navigate. I have all of them linked so I can listen to music throughout the house, I have connected some to speakers because the sound quality for music isn’t great, but it isn’t advertised to be. I’ve bought some of the plugs since and plan on getting lights soon as well. If you want something to control your music, set up a morning routine (tell you weather, news, drive time to work, and play a custom playlist you choose), control lights, tv (if you have a smart tv), and just ask random questions, for sure get one!

    Received the echo with Ring doorbell cam as part of Xmas promotion bundle. If you are looking for a simple device that is discreet with a great speaker this is for you. You can access Alexa ..Spotify etc

    Better looking and better quality than the last generation. Not much to say other than that it works and I had no issues during setup. It is also constantly on sale and it's a good device for your room without a camera.

    I love my echo dots I have one in each room of my house and it makes it a lot easier to communicate with my children in other rooms rather than yelling for them across the house. It also has great sound quality. The only problem I have with it so far is that sometimes it freezes up and I can't get a response so I have to reset the whole device.

    This was my second echo dot purchase. It works well and the purchase price was very good since I bought it on the Black Friday sale. The speaker quality is surprisingly good for a unit this small. I do however like my Google home mini better because it seems to have more functionality and it answers questions more correctly.

    This would be my second echo I buy and its amazing what it can do with giving it commands. From playing music to turning on lights. Also tells me when someone is at the door. Don't know what I'd do without it.

    I loved my "Little Dot" so much, I bought one for my mother-in-law for Christmas. I cannot tell you how much i appreciate the Shopping List feature. I use it several times a day. "Alexa, Add Milk to the Shopping List, Add Butter and Bread, Add Toilet Paper to Sam's list" We have a small 1 bedroom house w/ Basement, but I can yell from anywhere in the house for her to add things to my list, and she is always able to hear me. And, I dont have to worry about "forgetting my list at home or in the car" because the list is always on my phone in my Alexa app. She has made my everyday life much easier, and I am so thankful for her. I know its weird that I talk about her like shes a person, but it feels like she is sometimes, when you're alone and you ask her, "Alexa, How are you today?" And she answers you. And playing 20 questions with her is fun too. Okay, I'll stop bragging about her now.
