I just ordered it and should have it hopefully by tomorrow. The buttons on my clock radio by my bed no longer work and the time that's supposed to be automatic picks up time and is now like 10 minutes ahead.

I have one of the old Alexa little tower like things and love them so this was a no brainer when I could use the GIFT code on it. And I like that it will tell you the temperature on the screen. When I used to run I'd wake up and ask Alexa how freaking cold it was outside before I decided if it was going to be a running morning.

For years I used a Bose Wave CD/radio player for my alarm clock. The sound was beautiful. It no longer works so thinking about the Alexa Spot.

I have a regular Alexa I've had for years, but like the screen on the Spot for time, temperature, etc.

@Sunshine Kate. I have a Dot in the living room and recently bought the Spot for the kitchen. I had a little blue tooth speaker for the kitchen to play music and it just wouldn't hold a charge anymore.

I'm loving the Spot so much that I ordered one for the bedroom. The display is very nice, and, I like playing the ambient noise sounds to fall asleep. Plus the small size is great for the nightstand.

The kitchen Spot allows me to catch up on headlines, sport scores, and all sorts of info, plus play music. Really enjoying it.

I have the Echo show and two of the towers. I didn't know this one existed. I see they had one on over the weekend for $50 that sold out and also have a Black Friday one for $25. Do you know what the difference is?I would love one for my night stand.

@Pecky. The only Black Friday Spot related product I'm seeing is just the STAND for the Spot. See below. Is that what you are referring to?

@LdyBugz The DOT does the exact same thing.

@Pecky "Do you know what the difference is?"

Go on Amazon's site & review the specs for each product.

@Mz iMac. Yep, I know. I was just trying to relay why I use it in the bedroom. Thanks though! 😃

I have one. I use it mostly for door alertst. The best thing is that I have it automatically play brown noise at bedtime to help me get to sleep.

i have 3, bedroom, office and basement family room. I have a show-new-still figuring it out.

i like the dots because it tells me when azon packages have arrived, tells me the weather every a.m., plays azon music and Iheart radio stations, answers questions and give reminders. Basement one is handy because i can "announce" dinners ready and don't have to yell!

I put the new show in the bedroom(has alexa+)

That would be a no for me. I bought these several months ago and they do not work as they should. Displays have quit working. There are better ECHO's out there.

Yeah I got my spot today although I think I got a return. The seal on the box was already cut and I'm not sure if it's usually just sitting in there. Either way it works well and the sound is pretty good. Played some inappropriate rap music through it and it was good for such a little thing. I have my echo towers in a group and probably won't use the spot for that anyway.
