    This was an office grab bag purchase and my coworker loves it! She uses it at home and at the workplace. I’m quite impressed on how easily well acquainted she got with the item in terms of command and functionality (English is not her first language).

    We have a Alexa Dot and it has come in very handy for us as seniors. We have our Dot remind us of appointments and it announces when we have someone at our front door. When we are in the back of the house we cannot hear our door bell. We find her very convenient, so we got some for gifts for our family members.

    I’m happy with this purchase. The new echo has been a great addition to my home network. Paired two of them in my den. Great sound, easy to set up. Not perfect, still wish Alexa would learn better. Still says “I’m not sure” too much.

    Didnt know having Alexa could be so beneficial. The sound on this small device is amazing. Very small design so its hardly noticeable. I purchased a 2nd one a week later.
