Our Echo Dot is a blonde

Unread post

I gave my wife an Echo Dot second generation for Christmas. I decided to order one with a white shell but, that seems to have been an mistake.

Yesterday I asked her* what the temperature was (something I do frequently) and she started giving me weather reports for Paris France (she is setup for my location in East Central Florida)

She frequently will begin an answer, only get out part of the first syllable, then 'spin' for awhile before reporting that she has lost her connection.

*The device is setup by Amazon to respond to the name Alexa and has a female voice.

I knew there was a reason I had not bought one of these. Thanks for the heads up.

I love our Amazon Echos and Amazon Dots. We have one Echo and 3 Dots and we use them every single day without any problems at all. You're probably too far away from your router, Stahrwe. There is some sort of problem with your network and settings and not the actual devices I bet.

I just asked "Alexa, what's the weather?" and she answered perfectly. Don't give up on this amazing device, stahrwe! And Cattleman, read the reviews on Amazon before you conclude there are problems with the device. I have my Amazon Echo read me the news, audiobooks, tell me jokes, sing happy birthday, define words, spell words, play music, etc...
