it is cute, small and has a powerful sound system.
My kids absolutely love telling Alexa what music to play, even this can get a bit messy sometimes.
I would always get another one if you want a hands free remote for your phone or even the tv. Our Alexa can connect to our tv and I can ask her to turn it up or even to change shows.
Super convenient.
