    Very good speaker, Alexa is actually pretty smart and her responses are quick, which is a problem with a lot of smart assistants. Very loud at max volume, very useful.

    works great, just as expected. The ink has lasted much longer than I had expected. The scanning is a little slow, but I can live with that. Overall it is a great value.

    The best decision I made when buying the Echo Dot because I can move it all around the house from room to room. It works great when asking questions, loud and clear. I like that does not take up a lot of space. I am very happy I got the echo dot. I could not be happier!!

    I bought this echo as a gift for someone else. She LOVES it and it was the perfect introduction to the technology world. Her husband was skeptical, but when he learned he can turn on the lights via Alexa, he is sold!!

    I love its compact size, especially since it's just for my bedroom. It does exactly what I needed it for which is to connect to my record player. It easily pairs with any device and has great sound quality.

    I bought this for my 72-year-old stepmom, who has vision issues. At first, she only used it to tell time. Slowly, we got her to realize she could play music and make phone calls, too. It was fairly easy to set up, although she was resistant to using the app on her phone. I got white so it would contrast and she could see it more easily.

    These echo dots are the perfect little speaker to accent the room without being an eye sore, while also sounding great. The added ability to use them as another access point for my eero mesh wifi sysyem is the icing on the cake!

    fun to ask random stuff (faster than searching on my phone) and convenient for making 'dinner's ready' announcements to all the echos in the house as well as listening to music. the sound is decent for a small speaker. the kids like asking alexa to tell them jokes.

    The Echo is a pretty good piece of hardware. The sound quality is decent for a small speaker, and you can't beat the price point. The integration with other smart devices is very simple.
