    Awesome. I love this speaker. It is a higher quality speaker than I predicted. It’s fun to ask it questions and I’m trying to get a network set up between my friends so we can call over our speakers. If you don’t have one this is a good entry level.

    I love this speaker. It looks good and sounds good. I love the new design it was specifically made to enhance sound and bass. I don't use this for music but if I ever do it would be great. I can't imagine what the larger version sounds like since the bigger one is premium sound.

    Works as advertised. I purchased this to connect to my new Ring security system. I set up routines for the Speaker to announce which Ring sensor had been tripped. Sounds quality is very good for this speaker and all the other Alexa goodies are a plus.

    I purchased two Dots to create an intercom system in our 3 level townhome. It prevents a lot of yelling all the time. The speaker quality is excellent and it easily tunes to my favorite radio stations. I'm still learning various skills but so far I'm crazy about it.

    Got this one for $27 with a smart color change bulb included. Could not pass it up. This is a MASSIVE sound quality and amplification upgrade from the 3rd generation Echo Dot. I love how good the music comes out on this.

    Just got it today. Nice small sphere. About the size of a softball, sound is what you'd expect for a Dot. Not a lot of bass. I use it to connect to a soundbar, so the Dot's sound isn't important to me. I think the gen 3 sounds a little better by themselves, just IMO.

    The best for asking easy questions and if you have Spotify or apple music, you can set that up. This is supper good for home stereos because you can plug your aux into this thing and play music. Also alarms. You can ask it to wake you up at a certain time.

    Great sounding speaker for the size and even better when on sale. Finally replaced my original Echo Gen 1 speaker with this one and it sounds much better and has better mic to pick up speech commands.

    I love this thing! I keep her on my nightstand and I now have a sub to Amazon unlimited and I can tell her to play any song I want, set my morning alarm, ask for the weather. All without ever having to touch my iPad or phone.

    It's a nice little Alexa speaker and I got it for a great price during the holidays. The sound is a serious upgrade from the 3rd generation Echo Dot and it almost competes with my larger Google Home. Except it costed about a third of what I got the Google Home for.

    Definitely an improvement over the previous generation. It looks more modern but the speaker is the most noticeable improvement. You can hear more bass and the sounds is more well rounded. If you have the generation 3 for I would recommend upgrading.

    I love Alexa. We use her for the regular weather updates and trivia questions that might come up. But she is really good with music. We ask for songs from our past or special dance songs, and Alexa never fails to play it. Where has she been all my life.

    We are already in the Alexa universe and just wanted another one for our new screened in porch. The price was great - not significantly different from zero - and it has greatly enjoyed this addition to our new space. It was simple to install. We had to spend a little time teaching the system how to pipe sound to this particular device, but no other problems.

    We previously owned a google home, but thanks to our lovely cat messing it up, we had to get rid of it. We decided to go with Amazon this time and I like it better. Google home had its on cool features, but what I like about Alexa is that she actually listens to my fiancé AND me. Google only listened to me 30% of the time. It’s nice to not have to ask to turn the lights on/off 5 times! Also I like that I only need to say “Alexa” and not “hey ___”
