Okay, so the news media says it's like having a federal agent sitting on your counter, but as long as youre not plotting a crime, you should be good, especially if you don't tell Alexa to let you know when it's time to go rob a bank.... duh! Yes, it's got the capacity to listen and record, but in reality, it will tell me the weather easily, if there is traffic on my way to work, and some of the jokes are actually funny. The songs are cute - yes, she sings to you.
Alexa will play the radio for you or control some of your smart apps with a little setup. Haven't tested the calling feature much yet.

The Dot is a nice addition to my smart home. I use it in my bedroom to control my thermostat, lights, play white noise while I sleep and to drown out the neighborhood birds' 5am wake up calls. The sound isn't the greatest for music, but I have other devices for that.

This is my first smart home purchase and have added a lot of accessories to it like smart outlets, Bluetooth speakers, etc. Alexa works well and can clearly understand what I am saying.
Sound straight from the dot is not fantastic. I have mine connected to the JBL Charge 3 which sounds fantastic.
I'm still learning the features which are sometimes difficult to figure out.

I love my ECHO DOT - even though I don't use all of the available features, I've found that it can find an answer to just about any question I ask, it can tell jokes & riddles - I know I've only scratched the surface with Alexa - over time we can do just about anything!

Alexa has a lot of capabilities, but its very much a “sold seperatly” product. If you want to be able to use it to its full potential, you will need to spend thousand. But, the best part about this product is that it works very well, and you can add to it at any time.

This is going into one of our bedrooms. Already have the main Echo in family room. Check calendar, ask weather, set alarms, play music, search for answers to questions, etc...

It works ok most of the time. The voice recognition could use some improvement with how humans say things as when you want to turn on/off something you have to say the name of the item exactly right, say ceiling fan instead of fan, nope. Add please, nope. I would like to see the Logitech Harmony app be able to control multiple hubs. Although that's not the fault of this product.

Went to the store to pick up a Harmony Hub but the sales rep mentioned a deal for the hub and the Eco Dot for $10 cheaper than the price of the hub alone. So I went for it. Great decision! I am able to use Alexa to pretty much control my entire entertainment system!

Fun to use. Great assistant. It was easy to set up, and it seamlessly connected to supported devices. I understands my accent clearly more than humans. I am greatly impressed.

This works just fine for me. Grand children love asking Alexa questions and getting her to tell them a story. I used it for music synced with my cell phone pandora

I have the first echo (the tall one) and the sound is louder than the dot. This one doesn’t have bass and does not sound as good as it does in the commercials. If you connect a external speaker then the sound is way better, but for the price I paid it was worth it and I gave it to a family member as a gift.

Easy to set up. Only complaint I have is I wish it could be disconnected and taken to another room and charged when needed. Overall, great sound and easy to use.

Most Affordable and Versatile Echo!

This little Echo Dot is an affordable way to have ALEXA in every room!
The most versatile Echo Amazon has for now. It allows you to connect to just about any speaker, using Bluetooth or with a cable you can purchase for under $5.00. If you use Bluetooth it is super simple to change from a smartphone to a Bluetooth speaker by just asking Alexa.
I use this Echo Dot as my alarm clock and more. I use it to go to sleep listening to music/nature sounds. It's nice to be able to take my glasses off and still be able to start my sleep playlist add an additional alarm etc.
I like being able to ask ALEXA for the weather. It is really nice to be able do everything by voice/hands free; especially in the mornings while I am getting ready for work.
I also took it camping this summer in my little RV. Its so compact I think I will take it on my next vacation too!
