Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm a college student who got this echo dot to help with my disability. I got the rainbow color and just declined to activate the free time feature, making it a regular dot instead of a kids dot. Without the echo dot, I would struggle to wake up, go outside without proper seasonal clothing, and forget to take my medications - a lot. It is really difficult for me to self-regulate anything normal from eating to sleeping to whatever. Accessibility: Alexa wakes me up with an alarm and then five to ten minutes later starts telling me one short happy news story, the weather, and some other things in my routine. She will alert me about 15 minutes before I need to leave for class or work and remind me to take my medication, tell me the weather (so I can wear a coat or get an umbrella if necessary), and then give me the traffic situation to my current destination. I can ask Alexa the time, for her to set timers, and a lot of other things. If I had to manually do these things instead of speaking out loud, they probably would not happen. The sound quality is amazing, just utterly wonderful. I will play music and it sounds better on the echo dot than it does on my nice portable speakers. It's really clear, I don't really know another way to describe it. TL;DR The echo dot has not only made me happy, it has improved my quality of life and helped me to self-regulate more than I could before.
