Amazon Echo Dot (4th Gen) Smart Speaker with Alexa - Charcoal

I got this product and I absolutely love it. The echo is so easy to set up and use. The app you have to download to use it is easy to use.i love that in the app you can use it while your not around the echo. I love how you can make list and set reminders for yourself. I also love all the little games you can play with Alexa too. I like telling it to wake me up, and when I get up I can ask about the weather. The Alexa has so many functions. I also love the design of the echo. I absolutely love this product and recommend anyone looking for something like this to get the echo. You cannot go wrong with getting it.

We are really loving the cool new modern design. We do still have lots of other dots all over our home. My daughter likes to boss Alexa around telling her to turn on the lights and set alarms. We like to have more than one in a room to play music and get a nice stereo sound. This 4th gen has great sound. There is such a multitude of things this can be used for. I haven't begun to figure it all out. I do like that we can turn lights on and off when we are away from home for security. My daughter also gets a kick out of "dropping in" on other rooms. Now if I can just get Alexa to do the dishes. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I have always been leary and paranoid of devices that are listening to you. However, I decided to give the Echo Dot a chance to see how helpful it could be. Setup was relatively simple. Once you download the Alexa app, it walks you through the setup. I have only tried asking Alexa random questions and making her turn off and on. They worked flawlessly. I paired her with the Amazon smart plug so that I could turn both on and off at the same time. I was able to go the settings and tell the program to not keep a record or to delete after a certain amount of time. So far, so good. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
