Alexa, almost part of the family
An amazing product at an amazing price during black friday sales. Very user friendly, easy to set up using the Alexa app and great sound quality. There is a wide range of "skills" (apps) which just need to be enabled using the Alexa app and you you are hands free. Especially found the shopping list Skill useful so I could 'tick' things off the list on my phone, saved hunting for a pen.

Perfect Gift
I bought this as a gift for my mother as she loves listening to different radio stations, some of which are not covered in her area. A quick download of the Alexa App on her tablet and she was good to go. I have the Echo plus, so was dubious about the sound quality of the dot as it is so much smaller, but no regrets or reservations, the sound is great and she is really pleased with it.

The small echo dot
The echo dot may be small but it doesn't lack in style it fits in well anywhere in our home. It can do all the same things the bigger ones can. Wished we got one sooner all the family love it and we can get instant music for any taste young or old. So easy to use even the grandparents were impressed by how easy it was to use. Would recommend anyone to buy one you won't be disappointed.

Great multi function speaker
This has been a great purchase and links up with so many devices and is multi-functional. Was cheaper than other standard Bluetooth speakers so I got two. Can’t wait for the summer and can have music with our BBQ’s. Easy to set up. Have also got them set up with my Mac as Bluetooth speakers on a midi setup. Also working great with a range of led light brands purchased elsewhere.

I really like the product but it keeps breaking
Excellent product but only really if you have the other Amazon subscriptions i.e. Amazon music. Mine keeps cutting out while using it and freezing, contacted Amazon who told me to reset it to a Factory settings which isn't ideal but I did. Worked fine for about 30min after doing this then just froze/cut off again. Not very happy. Excellent idea and would love it if it'd stop breaking

Great little gadget
I finally succumbed and bought an Echo Dot. Have to say the design and sound quality are great. It was easy to set up and easy to use. Only downside if you want music on demand is that you have to subscribe to Amazon Music. It will also only accept Spotify Premium accounts. Normal radio channels are obviously free. Really glad I bought one now and have bought another for my daughter.

Amazing sound
Heard they were good but didn't expect them to be this good, amazing sound from such a small speaker system. Easy to set up and use, has lots of skills to enable, I like the burglar deterant which creates a busy environment and sounds like the house is alive with the normal day to day chores. Far too many pluses to write here. Get one, you will not be disappointed with your purchase.

Sound quality a lot better than expected
I am very happy with this product bought for my daughter to play about with to be honest and didn't really think it would be the best, but I am amazed at the sound quality on it for the size of it and I'll be honest I'm like a child, I absolutely love asking questions and asking it to play songs. Would definitely recommend this to a friend everybody needs one of these in their home!

My mom loves Alexa
Bought for my mom who is 70 something. I had to help her set up - easy for me. Now she has it in the kitchen, says good morning, plays the radio on it, and asks it questions - she's made a friend! Annoyingly if you ask for a specific song it asks you to pay for an additional service - which you say no to - and then it plays a cover version. I've bought another for the mother in law.

Great value
The sound on this newer generation dot is much better than the previous one. More bass and great pickup range. The new material surround makes it look much nicer too. Obviously Alexa is still improving all the time and is the same no matter which echo device but the price Argos has this over Black Friday, the value was super. Also Argos had availability when Amazon didn’t!

Love Alexa
Got this on offer at half price, this is my fourth Alexa unit and the speaker is very impressive. Much better than the first dot, which couldn’t be used as a speaker. I use mine to control the lighting and fan in my bedroom, alarms to get me up in the morning... I could not live without them now. They are improving all the time and this unit completely exceeded my expectations.

Doesn't work DO NOT BUY
I bought this, it seemed like a good buy. I set it up and to my surprise the light was red...I tried asking Alexa a question. NO ANSWER... It had been set up right (it even said) I tried returning it they Fobbed me off. They said nothing was wrong with it. THEY CANT TELL THEY HAVE TO WIFI... Please just don't waste your money DON'T BUY IT! JUST DON'T. Please don't waste your money.

Great item although Apple Music connectivity issue
I purchased this for my brother as a birthday present. Item was well packaged and quickly received. Item is great and he really loves it but we had initial problems connecting it to his Apple Music account which was strange because I had no issues connecting mine to Spotify. We did a quick google search and realised that this issue is quite common and managed to rectify the issue.

Getting more useful by the day
It’s taken me a while to work out what exactly I would use Alexa for. I’m finding that I use Spotify, and the radio most frequently. Creating lists and reminders is also useful - and I love silly little things like if you meow at Alexa she wil meow back- and keep going until you give up. I’ve also connected my lights via WiFi. Not exactly life changing, but kind of cool.

Working great eventually
Took two days to set up due to Amazon Alexa server problems. Thought it was faulty initially as I have another one which was working fine. Tried it again next day and it worked as it should have. Great sound and controls all lights, appliances etc as per other echo without having to set it all up. Very happy with it after initial frustration trying to get it connected to server.

Small package, big sound!
I haven’t listened to the earlier echo dot speakers so I have nothing to compare it to, but I’m impressed by the quality and volume of the sound. Decent bass too for a small speaker. Good looking and the led lights around the edge are cool. Quick to set up and you’re not forced in to paying for Amazon subscription, there are plenty of free radio stations etc. Overall 10/10

"Alexa I have a cunning plan"
Everyone needs at least one of these in their life. Get the Philips Hue and bulbs to go with it and some smart plugs too. Endless hours of entertainment asking Alexa stupid questions. Great for playing music through Spotify or Amazon Music (Spotify is better). The sound will easily fill the room and Alexa can hear you and understand you easily. Go buy one now, in fact buy a few.

My amazon echo dot ... a revalation
I was sceptical. I am not any more. Sitting watching TV with my parents dad asked how old is Tom Jones ? I repeated his question inserting ALEXA as the first word and .. well he is 79. Great for playing the radio (including LBC !) and a fantastic google like facility with those who dont like typing or who were a little old for the computer age. Also really popular with kids !!

amazing machine
an amazing little machine , bought one for each of our grandchildren ages 10 and 12, so easy for connectivity , set up and to use ,they have so many uses from helping with homework to turning lights on and off and a bonus is that they are so small they fit on a window ledge which keeps them out of harms way as an extra bonus they also act as an alarm clock , would recommend ,,,

Even has a whisper mode for when hes sneaking out of bed to play akinator with alexa in the middle of the night! All in all a great product. Will be buying more for the house.

Excellent price
Bought this for grand kids bedroom as they love our amazon echo (situated in the lounge) for music,games, education etc.They love the interaction with the mobile phone app, very easy to set up, matter of minutes. Word of warning if you already have a dot or echo and intend having music, the cost goes up to approx £10/month from £3.99/month. Very happy with this purchase.

Great sound for the price
The echo dot was easy to set up and the sound quality was excellent for such a small device. I have additionally connected it via Bluetooth to an external speaker to give wider range and this too was very simple and straightforward to do. I highly recommend the echo dot. Purchasing from Argos was also great, a straightforward and fast delivery service that I would recommend.
