Transcript
Hi, this is Debra with WTI. This is the Echo Dot 3rd Generation Smart Speaker with Alexa. And this is a charcoal color. What I love about this device is that it has this feature here. This is actually to be able to mute the microphone. So in case, for example, you don't want Alexa to be going on and off accidentally, this is a great feature here. So I absolutely love using Alexa. For example, when I'm in the kitchen and I'm busy, I like to use it to set up reminders or it helps me with my daily routine. For example, with alarms. For example, I can ask Alexa, what time is it? The time is 1 43 p.m. So when I'm busy and obviously my hands are occupied and I can't actually get my phone or look at the time, I can just ask her. And another thing that I like about it is that I can put some music on it. So I can just ask her to play through my streaming service that I prefer or even using Amazon's choice. So I definitely recommend it. And that's my point of view.
