If you incorporate this with smart plugs and thermostat it becomes and amazing addition that you will wonder how you lived without it.

I have Alexa products throughout my house. Echos, Dots, a Show, a Spot. Often, one or more of them will lose their way and need to be reset. Very often, I have to repeat commands because they don't understand me. I started putting Google devices around my house instead. They are so much better. They always understand what I'm saying and never go offline. Now, when I hear: "I'm having trouble understanding right now" from Alexa, I just say: "OK Google" instead. Pretty soon I'll get used to not even saying: "Alexa....".

easy to set up and gives the kids a different way to play their music. They love that they can ask it questions and it will answer them.

I bought this to compare with Amazon Echo. It's equivalent, better database but skills function is better and easier to setup in Amazon Echo.

When on sale for $25 this speaker had so much value. W have a 4 bedroom so I purchased 5 of these. 1 in each room and 1 in the living room. U can use the command "broadcast" and send a message for everyone in the house to hear. Perfect for kids who never hear u when u call them from downstairs. U can also play music with all the speakers synced throughout the house. I have a couple of then hooked up to command the TVs. I will pretty much set the whole house up as a smart home soon. Definitely work 25 bucks for sure.

The only challenging thing is to link these together if you have 2 separate nodes that you want to keep certain minis on one and not on another. But otherwise - like it!

I like the technology, but we found unit turning itself on by the tv. Maybe the tv was activating it with people from the tv shows talking? We will try to relocate to kitchen and do an update to review.

I love the compact design of the device. Voice recognition is spot on and for the small size of the speaker it puts out very good sound.
