    It’s a cool little gadget. This is our 2nd one. It’s linked with our ring doorbell and all smart devices in the home. Serves a great purpose for whole fam! Even makes calls...And the kids love Alexa! Worth purchasing.

    Bought it to replace an original echo speaker. Wifi seems to be better strength. Sound fills our entire living room and even up to loft above.

    I haven't had this product for very long and don't really know all the features, but for the few things I have used it for, controlling smart lights, listening to music, and setting reminders, it's worked well and I am quite impressed.

    Love these smart speakers! Can't believe how loud they are for such little products. Alexa annoys me off every once in a while, but that is not the speakers fault ;) Looking forward to trying the next generation.

    I have one room in the house that doesn't have an Echo device. I've got a couple of 1st Gen Dots set up and this 3rd Gen just happened to come free of charge as part of another Best Buy purchase. Like the other Echo devices, setup was quick and easy.

    My husband cannot hear very well, so I bought 2 echos and placed one by his chair and the other in the bedroom. I am able to use the drop in feature as an intercom. No more yelling across the house! I'm sure my neighbors appreciate it more than we do.

    We received the Dot free with the FireTV. We are loving it! Get weather, music or tell it to turn on the TV. We had missed being able to ask Alexa questions.

    We added this to our home this Christmas and love the convenience. While this is just a convenience & not absolutely necessary it is nice to have. it is great to use with Prime to play music. We also use it frequently for weather reports and we always use it for our shopping list. I have it linked to "anylist" on my phone so I always have the shopping list with me when I go to the store. You can also just use the Alexa App to do this also. It is easy to setup & takes up little space. We have ours on top of some tall furniture, so you don't even see it, but still does its job.

    Alexa makes life easier! I can listen to music while in the kitchen and request recipes and directions with my voice alone. Questions are answered when asked and will turn my lights on and off as requested.

    Easy to set up and use with alexa compatible devices. The clock comes in handy when you dont want to talk to alexa. Sometimes alexa is a little slow. The speaker is very loud and works with other speakers together for a more amplified sound.

    I love this gadget. I do not do anything extraordinary, just a bunch of simple tasks. Controlling lights, set timers and alarms, ask questions, listen to spotify, find my phone, and when I am bored I chat with Alexa.

    I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. It was easy to install and use. This time I used an offsite delivery point and it was very efficient. Saved me from driving across town to pick it up at the store.

    We LOVE our echo dot, so much that we bought another one for our family for Christmas. Highly recommend this product! The only disappointment is that you cannot connect the Ring to it, only the Echo Spot will, so we bought that as well and it works great!

    I was hestiant to get a smart device but now I am glad I invested in the Alexa ecosystem. I can give a simple command and it can turn on my TV while I'm cooking and change the content. Even assist in lazy things like shutting off the lights. Also provides a sense of security with the guard feature. I just wish it'll be a little better responsive at times; you have to repeat yourself a couple times.

    It’s an amazing device easy to use and setup, my 68-year old mother loves it and wants another one for the room because the first one is installed in the kitchen. Great Christmas present for someone who never had one.
