    I bought this as a gift to my mom for Mother’s Day and she absolutely loves it ! It’s super easy to set up and easy / to use ! It has so many features from streaming your favorite artist to answering questions about basic mathematical questions, or even letting you know about the weather in your area ! Soooo many cool things Alexa is even bilingual which is why my mom loves it because of its voice recognition feature which connects your name to your voice so Alexa will always know who in your household is addressing her ! 10/10 purchase absolutely NO regrets !

    The setup was easy since I already have other echos in the house. My other echos resemble hockey pucks so I wasn’t too sure about the new ball shape. However, this one is perfectly shaped for the tap/hover feature where you can tap the top or cover with your palm to pause the sound. I think there is also a better sound quality to this Echo as opposed to me older ones. All in all I’m pleased with my purchase.

    Speakers are good quality… obviously not Bose level but it gets the job done. If you have smart system in your house, this is a great addition at a low cost.

    The Echo Dot has so many convenient features. Want music for motivation, “Hey Alexa”. Need to reorder household supplies, “Hey Alexa”. Add an appointment to your calendar, “Hey Alexa”. Looking for a recipe for supper, “Hey Alexa”. So, so many features available with Alexa and the Echo Dot’s compact design fits in nicely and has a bold sound when playing music. ❤️❤️Alexa!!

    Echo dot

    These little smart speakers are amazing. The sound quality is impressive given its small footprint. We have these smart speakers in almost every room in the house whether the original cylinder type or the echo and echo dot. They great to use as an intercom or to place calls which is handy since my wife is handicapped with limited mobility. I know that she can always reach me if she has a problem. This echo dot was an upgrade from the previous version which can now tell you the temperature of the room that it is placed in. For the price, especially when they are on sale you can't go wrong.
