    Good sound in a compact design. I would like to see a audio imput option to be able to connect an external sound source.

    Best Smart Speaker you can buy.

    I've had mine for about 1 month. It has been great. I've played around with Alexa, and she is so much better than Siri (On my phone), Bixby (On my watch), and almost as good as my Google Home. I prefer this over any smart speaker, and I use it to control TVs (Samsung), Lights (Philips Hue), my doorbell (Ring), and my security cameras (Also Ring).

    A Most-impressive Speaker

    Although I have replaced this gen 2 speaker in my office with a new model (Echo gen 4), I continue to use this one in my slightly smaller meditation room at the other end of the house. It gives voice activated, room-filling sound that's perfect for that room. Much better than the Echo gen 3 Dot it replaced.

    Doesn't listen

    Honestly I am extremely disappointed. I started with a Dot 1st Gen and Loved it so much that I bought the smart bulbs. I decided to upgrade and ended up buying this Echo and also the 2gen Dot. I hooked them up and thought everything was good. Welll I've been having issues with the newer gen not responding to me at all. I literally have to be within a couple inches of the echo or dot for it to hear me. I only have this problem with the 2nd gen. I moved my old dot to a different room and it listens and responds better then these 2nd gen. I plan to return it if I still can. I have family who has the 1st gen and its so loud and you don't have to be so close to it. Honestly this one is a downgrade.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
