    I ma very happy with my purchase of this Ech Dot. I like how I can just ask Alexa to play my Sirrus Xm or any of my pod casts. I also like that I can pair my iPad to it and be able to hear and watch the news or any other program from my iPad while I’m in the kitchen. I love how the smart light bulbs pair easily to it and I can turn a light on in any room of the house. The biggest plus that I really love is the away feature. It acts like a security system. Alexa listens for any alarm for a smoke or CO detector or any sounds like breaking glass. She will notify me if something happens. Another plus is if you have multiple Echo dots you can play music through out the house and also announce things like dinner or if you have company that has come.

    I have 2 of these 1 for me and 1 for my daughter. They blend in well on our desks big enough to notice but small enough to go unnoticed at the same time. I use it for time, temperature, alarms, timer, definitions, measurement conversions.....etc. Currently it is connected to our wifi lights and the ring door bell.

    At first I control my room lightning with Alexa app on my phone and each time I need to voice activate Alexa I had to open down the app but now I can speak to Alexa without looking around for my phone. Home automation at a full capacity!!!!

    Great piece of technology, we use it as a communication device in the home between rooms, also for playing music in the home all at once in several rooms. It is a great addition to any home stereo system with its 3.5 mm output, I Have only begun to explore its many uses as in sharing weather and local and national news, sports reports. Entertainment such as trivia, music, jokes.

    Was looking at this freezer for awhile. Waited for it to go on sale. Very pleased with this freezer. It is just the right size. Freezes great, very silent and love the light that comes on when you lift the lid. Would definitely recommend.

    Really great device and super convenient, I look forward to getting smart locks as well in my house. It’s really convenient to change the temp in the house with my voice. Or walk into a room with the switch on the opposing side of the room without touching it. The let there be light feature when I walk in from work is convenient as well
