    I absolutely love our Echo Dot. This is the second one that we have purchased and we plan on getting another. We absolutely love the Smart control and voice to light activation. The daily history is so fun to learn as we wake up in the morning with our Alexa, echo dot.

    Alexa needs to go back to school and study up on her geography. You ask her for travel time from A to B and she gives you a wacko response totally unrelated to your question. I have continuously given feedback, however nothing seems to come of it. I know it's not her, it's the idiots writing the code. I'll ask her to play music by XXX from Pandora and she'll play music by ZZZ from I ❤ radio. Geez get it right, OK?

      Posted .

      Hello lmksk! I am sorry to hear about your experience. The "larger style" device you are speaking of may be the full size Echo. That device is intended to be used for a more premium sound experience and fills larger rooms. The Dot is intended for smaller rooms or for night stands and does not have the same sound experience. You can improve this though by adding one more Echo Dot and pairing them together for stereo sound. This will give you a better experience than a lone Dot and may be a resolution for you to enjoy your Echo Dot as much as your full size Echo. You can always call Amazon Customer Support at 888.280.4331 to troubleshoot further to see what else we can do to improve your experience. I hope this helps some and that you have a phenomenal day!
