These little pucks are great! Impressive sound and even more so when you have four of them! I can give Alexa a command to play music and it comes through loud and clear on two of them with a stereo effect. I can also tell Alexa to play "everywhere" and I get all four putting out rich dynamic sound the covers the majority of downstairs. Combined wiht the Echo Show, you have a music system, information system and security system all in one. Alexa can do just about anything you ask. Highly recommend this system.

I tried, my daughter tried, I read umpteen how tos and tried. It simply would not connect. I’d had others I bought new that worked flawlessly. I gave them to my daughter and they worked for her. I ended up trading it in on Amazon for a newer brand new one. I would caution about buying one of these used for that reason.

For an easy to use assistant for daily informational needs the Echo Dot is an excellent value. You can use as an emergency call device to make a life saving call. Need to know the weather, time, calendar entries, reminders and the list goes on. It has excellent voice recognition.

I got this as a gift for my Mom. She liked how I was able to ask my Alexa how to spell words; or find zip codes to addresses; and tell Alexa to turn down to another level when she was too loud. And she liked how you could ask her to play any station she desired. Now she has her own. And it didn't burn my pocket book. I was able to give her a great quality gift for the first time. And the best thing is, it arrived on her Birthday. It was suppose to arrive 6 days after her birthday. And I would have been saying Happy Birthday Mom your gifts in the mail. Tell me that wasn't kismet. Right on time. With it's new updates, it looked better than my Alexa. I maybe getting myself a new one soon.

Ez to use and ez to connect. I now have 2 one for the bedroom and one for the main living areas. Love being able to get my news and weather in the morning with my coffee and after listening to my music. Drawback is sometimes she doesn't understand what you are asking and have to remember first to say her name and if operating another device the name for it. Does not operate well with fire tv at least i can't figure out a way to make it work like i want it to. Will only turn it on and off sometimes and might if you feel lucky work for volume. Overall i do like having them.

Talk about fun! This was so easy to set-up and use. I bought this for my 89-year-old mother who lives alone and refuses to learn how to use a computer. It took a little while to get her comfortable with it, but now she can ask it for the day, time of day, day of the week, etc. She loves music and can quickly get to a station with all her favorite genres. The sound quality is astounding for the size of it. The only downside I found is that all smart switches for lights and so on have to be 2.4 GHz. Her WIFI is 5 GHz. so none of them will work. I guess that's not really a negative for this device, just the manufacturers of smart add-ons.

We have a gen 2 and gen 3. The gen 2 which does not work well for playing music is easier to understand in large rooms. The gen 3 is way better for playing music but is difficult to hear in large rooms. You can fine tune the EQ settings to get a better sound however, it will be at the sacrifice of good EQ for music. It would be nice if there was a way to program this dot to use different EQ settings for music than for voice control. Other than that it works great. The commands are processed quickly and the speaker is way better for music playback than the gen 2.

First things first, if you guy it of eBay chances are that it is registered to the person who u bought it from's account. When you order, have them de-register it. Now unto the review. Its an awesome gadget to have and it works as advertised. Ps. The mobile app isn't working for me so i had to set it up on my laptop.

Sound quality is the best I've heard on a speaker of this size!!! Definitely worth paying a little extra for this one over the 2nd generation model. I'm not going to discuss the functionality as there's tons of info already out there. One important note: If you set up the Alexa app on your phone, IT WILL IMPORT ALL OF YOUR PHONE CONTACTS. I didn't think I gave it permission to do so but Alexa did indeed import my contacts! You may have read stories how, WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE, Alexa can record what's being said in your home and then send it to ANY or ALL of those contacts! Yikes! And, I won't want any of my kids to accidentally send messages to or call people on my contact list. So, if you want to keep your contacts from Alexa and prevent that from happening here's how I did it: Before installing the Alexa app on your phone, export your contacts to a file and save it for later. Then, go back to the phone and delete those contacts (don't worry, you'll import them back in later). Now, install the Alexa app on your phone and go through the set up process. At some point, you'll have the option to allow Alexa to automatically import any additions to your contacts. Please "disable" that option. After you're done with the installation, you'll notice there are no contacts in your Alexa app! Now, you can import your contacts back into your phonebook using the file that you initially created and you're good to go! If you already installed the app but want to delete your contacts from Alexa, it's not too late. Simply export your phone contacts to a file and save for later. Then, delete the contacts from your phone. Now, open the Alexa app and click "Contacts." On the Contacts page, click on "Import Contacts" and enable it by moving the button to the right side. This will cause Alexa to replace your existing contacts with the now empty phonebook. After a few minutes, your Alexa contacts will be gone. Go back and disable "Import Contacts" to prevent Alexa from importing them in the future. You can now import the contact file that you created back into your phone. Of course there may be some contacts you do want to use with Alexa. I simply added them manually by clicking "Add Contact." I hope this info is helpful as I wasn't able to find an easy way to manage Alexa contacts.Read full review
