    I got this to replace my Amazon echo dot. This one looks better and has a far better speaker.

    Works great. Often times I feel it’s comprehension of what is being asked is better than Alexa’s and I love that it will play YouTube on my TV on command.

    While I no longer have this, it was a great little device while I did. I used it for everything from listening to music, to turning my lights and A?C on and off. It glitched out one time and said some random stuff, which was a little creepy, but never did it again after I unplugged it and plugged it back in.
