I’m learning new Alexa skills for listening to Spotify and I’ve also used new smart home plugs for lamps. I previously thought it was so easy just to use my phone, but this is even easier!
I am always wary about purchasing refurbished items, but so far, I’ve been pleased.
Note - This unit was shipped in a generic brown box, with plastic sealed covering. It was not enclosed in the original box (as my daughter’s unit was). This did not matter to me. Posting as “information”.
It took me a while to decide to get this product. what sold me was the clock display... Unfortunately, Amazon has abandoned the 3rd gen design and has adopted a globe shape which does not appeal to me. They also claim that the 4th gen dots have superior sound...something that doesn't interest me as I connect my 3rd gen dot to my sound system via bluetooth so, that selling point is lost on me
It seems to me that Amazon should bring the 3rd gen "hockey puck" design back as the refurbs always sell out in a short period of time as soon as they come back. ARE YOU LISTENING AMAZON?
