‘Honestly, I never thought I would like having this or any similar device in our home,’ wrote one shopper in their review of the Echo Dot.

‘So many daily routines are made so much simpler by this little gem. Smart bulbs have allowed for less step running every day. Reminders have allowed us to not have to write constant notes to ourselves. 

They added: My 80 year old husband has enjoyed hours of listening to old radio shows and taking up challenges offered in various apps. For me, the available music is a wonderful feature. Anyone who is on the fence (even if you are seniors like us)… do yourself a favor and get an Echo Dot.’
