Almost Excellent. So Close.

Almost Excellent. So Close.
I never had any interest in a "smart speaker". However, I got some Amazon Prime credits specifically for Prime-only products, and we'll... I took the bait and ordered this Echo Dot. I figured it'd be great for my kitchen, so I don't have to keep bringing my other bluetooth speaker downstairs when I wanna enjoy good audio while cooking/eating.When I got it, the included User Guide made it seem like this device CANNOT be used as a regular Bluetooth speaker. So I boxed it back up and prepared to return it for credit.On a whim, I looked online to see if anyone had "hacked" the Echo Dot... Then I found OTHER instructions, clear instructions, on pairing the Echo Dot with a smartphone via Bluetooth.That's really what saved the whole experience, for me. I've been happily using this speaker, and yes occasionally I'll use the Alexa features. Even though that was not my MAIN purpose for the purchase, it was good to see/learn that Consumer-Market AI and Voice Recognition have really come a long way!I withheld 1 star from this review, because - for some dang unfathomable reason - the speaker comes with a proprietary power cord and jack, instead of a standard micro- or mini-USB jack. This means I had to dedicate one entire power outlet to the speaker, instead of just using one of my multiple USB chargers and cables I already had. Also the speaker is not rechargeable, which means it has to STAY plugged in, which adds to the aforementioned "cable clutter".Another reason for the loss of 1 star, is that the speaker doesn't come with any way to MOUNT it anywhere. What is Amazon thinking, that ALL their customers have all the counter space in the world? So I had to super-glue that dumb*tch to my cabinet, as you see in the picture.I feel like they dropped the ball with those 2 issues... this little speaker could have been even MORE amazing than it is now.That being said, it's a good value, especially if you can get it at a discount, and if you're curious about Alexa and the Amazon ecosystem.
