Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm going to assume than anyone interested in this refurbished unit already knows everything great and wonderful about the Echo Dot itself (if not, it is great and wonderful), and is mainly just interested in how this refurbished unit stacks up with a brand new unit. I was very hesitant to purchase a refurbished unit, but the discount at the time of my purchase was too good to pass up. I was fully planning on returning it if there was the slightest sign of an issue. I have had this unit for about a month now, and it has worked perfectly since I received it. Like a brand new unit. If you can get this refurbished for a substantial discount, I think it is totally worth the risk of not buying a new unit. Edit (07/08/2017): My original refurbished Echo Dot is still going strong, and I received my second refurbished Echo Dot yesterday. This second one is just as "like new" as my first one. The packaging is similarly "like new". It has the same clear sticker covers surrounding it like a new unit, and I believe the power adapter, cable, and manuals are all actually brand new. Edit (11/21/2017): I currently have two units purchased as refurbished and two purchased as brand new. At this point, I've forgotten which ones were new and which ones were refurbished. They are all working great, and I've had zero issue with any of them. I would not hesitate on purchasing another refurbished unit if the price was compelling.
