KID AND ADULT FRIENDLY
I HAVE HAD THIS SINCE 12/25 AND ITS WONDERFUL. I COULDNT GET IT CONNECTED TO MY WIFI ON MY OWN BUT I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICES AND THEY DID AN AWESOME JOB HELPING ME. THE KIDS LOVE IT ESPECIALLY THE FACT SHE TELLS JOKES AND WILL PLAY MUSIC. THE COOL THING IS I CAN TURN OFF FREETIME AND USE IT AS A REGULAR ECHO DOT. THE ALARMS ARE AWESOME I WAS JUST WOKEN UP BY ONE THIS MORNING. THIS DEVICE WAS MEANT TO BE FOR KIDS BUT I FIND MYSELF WANTING TO PLAY THE GAMES AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN. THE COOL THING IS MY DAD HAS AN ECHO AND I CAN CALL IT EVEN THOUGH ITS IN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT HOUSE ABOUT 15 MINUTES AWAY. THE KIDS LOVE IT BECAUSE THEY CAN CALL MIMI AND PAWPAW AND GRANDMA AND GRANDPA ON IT. AMAZON YOU REALLY OUTDID YOURSELF ON THIS ONE. I AM ACTUALLY CONSIDERING BUYING ANOTHER ONE FOR THE LIVING ROOM.
Thank you for your feedback
