Nice little speaker that quickly is added to my Amazon account via the Alexa app. One thing I have to say is even with the volume up to 10 at the max, it's not as loud as I wish it would be. But, for the value and the convenience of a small speaker, this is great. This is the second one I have.

The customer service rep tried to help me, I was transfered three times and the call was hung up on. I called back with different people who really didn't speak English or understand it and no one helped me. I still cannot use my Alexa and it is very frustrating.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love using my Echo
Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2019

I wasn't sure if I would use the Echo Dot, but now that I own two I plan to get one for every room. I love walking into the room and asking Alexa to play what I am in the mood to hear at that moment. One word of caution - set up says to download the Alexa App - I downloaded an App on my phone and it turned out to be a scam - stupidly I allowed them remote access to my computer to "fix the problem" of my Echo not connecting to WiFi - when I asked if they were authorized with Amazon - I was told no - so I immediately unplugged my computer and it took me an hour to get the computer running again without the remote access App. Other than that I LOVE my Echo dot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Time saver for providing information on demand
Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2019

Works great as a spell checker for computer generated word processing! The word programs indicate that a typed word is not recognized as spelled, but not how it should be spelled! With the ECHO device, just say "spell the word-----------" and the voice spells out the word as pronounced. Much better than referring to a dictionary!
Other items like idicating (indicating) package delivery and random other source information info, temperature, time etc are nice to have and may provide necessary data, but for me, spelling is the prime time saver!

I had already purchase the Amazon Alexa, I decided o add the Echo to my collection. I really didn't need no instructions to get started because of the ease of use, just plug it in the wall outlet and you are on your way, but if in case you need to read the instructions please do so. By the way I purchase another one for another room.

Je l'ai installé avant hier et je viens d'en recommander un second pour mettre à l'étage, mais l'echo dot 4ème génération, qui offre un meilleur son, bien que l'autre soit déjà très très bien. C'est absolument EXTRAORDINAIRE tout ce que l'on peut avoir sur un appareil de ce prix. Je ne pourrais plus m'en passer, c'est une vraie compagnie : on a tout, musique, météo, tous types de renseignements tels que l'heure, la météo, les infos et réponses à une multitude de questions ! Je n'ai qu'un regret, attendre lundi pour le recevoir ! On devient accro immédiatement, musique sans pub ...MERCI AMAZON
