So Cute !
I ordered this Echo Dot device simply because it hasthe face of a Panda on it... and I am a Panda Lover.I wanted a second Amazon Echo Dot device to putin the bedroom and I also bought an Amazon EchoGlow device to go with it. It's awesome that theymade one of these with the face of a Panda on it.I Love it !I have 2 Amazon Echo Dots now... both 4th Gen.This Panda one came with 1 Year of Kids+ FreeTime installed. Due to the fact that my Husbandand I do not have children... the Kids+ Free Timefeature is disabled. I was able to disable it throughmy Alexa App. on my tablet.This is a great little device to have. I highly recommendthese devices. I feel like I have someone with me at thehouse when I am home alone. It's great ! I hope, if youdecide to purchase one of these, that you enjoy it asmuch as I do ! Have a FABULOUS day !!UPDATE: SEPT. 09, 2021... I have only had this device forAbout 6 months. Lately, the past week, she doesn't wantto respond when I talk to her. When I bought this deviceI did not think that after only 6 months it would just stopresponding. I have had to unplug her and plug her back inand reboot her. So frustrating. I even called AmazonCustomer Service numerous times to try to see if theycould help me,, and they walked me through a factoryreset. The device worked for about a week after that andnow she quit working AGAIN. This device really is moretrouble than she was worth... and I paid close to $50for this device. I cut my rating down to 4 Stars because ofthis. I just don't know what to do with it anymore.

With the onslaught of bluetooth speakers coming from both Google, Amazon, and other big named companies which are all competing for the smart home conversion, this can be overwhelming to choose. Like, really, what's best for your ears, your family and company?
Alexa, that's who. But, I'm a biased fan boy. So remember that.
For my smart home I chose Amazon as my primary converter. Fire stick, blink security, Echo Hub, the echo show for face calls, Kindle, Tablet, Echo Buds and works with smart bulbs. There isn't much of anything that the Echo Development teams haven't thought of. This device was the first step in making my house a smart home, though, even though I didn't think about it at first.

Portable speakers (with wifi), calculator, someone to tell your dad jokes, or just make fart noises, this device has it with Alexa. With customization to wake words (Computer, Alexa, Echo, etc) and pairing of multiple dots to an Echo hub in a multiroom can provide for some amazing surround sound. Seriously.

Alexa is kind of like the middle man of making your home smart. She acts as the computer, and communicator to you and your home. I use my Echo Dot every day, playing music all the time. For individual listening, I would recommend Echo Buds for that private concert.
I would recommend volume level 3 or 4 for a medium sound. For a party, you may need an two Echo Dots and a Hub for a large room. 1 and 2 settings are perfect for a meditating experience, or just soft background noise depending on what your listening too.

Amazon's music library has literally 20,000,000 songs to choose from; and ad free with 3d audio for those interested in Amazon Unlimited and HD. That's essential to ANYONE who loves listening to music all day, every day. Not to mention, if you don't wanna use Amazon HD, or Amazon in general, you are still able to set up Spotify as you're primary library/archive of music. That way, you don't have to start all over by liking, disliking and setting up new playlists for your road trips or work out sessions.

5/5 for awesome sound
5/5 voice recognition
5/5 easy installation
5/5 smart home device.
4th generation Echo Dot really blasts the hell out of all previous models, including sound output, style and variance in both Child and Adult, with variety in colors.

Con:
Cable could use a different color other than black or white, because this would allow "what cable goes to what." Otherwise, this is a really small complaint comparing to what you're really getting.
This device will not pair with adult/regular 4th generation echo dots.

Love this Panda Echo Dot for Kids. Super easy to use. The kids version is nice because if they tell it to play a song that is really not appropriate for them..then Alexa will tell them "Sorry, I can't play you this song because it contains explicit material." This also is educational. They can ask any math problems, solar system questions, history, literally anything you would Google. It will read bedtime stories, tell jokes, can be used as an alarm clock to wake them before school and be used as an intetcom!! So, if you have a main Echo/Alexa type system within the home, you could use it to talk to your child in the other room, upstairs/downstairs, tell them to get out of bed and come to breakfast for school or whatever works for you..I thought that was a really cool feature. We love keeping music going in the home all the time, so it's been a mood lifter here.

The media could not be loaded.
 I'm an adult, and I bought this Tiger Echo Dot (sphere) for my own use. I think it is just SO cute. My primary need was to have an easy to use speakerphone on my desk so that when people called, or I had to call someone, I could keep working and typing while maintaining the phone conversation. Sure, I could have bought an actual speakerphone unit. But this is so so much better.

I've loaded in an unboxing video to show how it comes packaged, and how it starts up. It was incredibly easy to install and also quite easy to set up for 'adult use' without the children restrictions. I have it set to turn on the office lights, the living room lights, and so on. I can easily check the weather or add items to a to-do list. It plays music and I even enjoy the daily Jeopardy trivia game.

For me, the most important use is the speakerphone. I can call any phone out there and have long, crystal-clear conversations while I do my work. For someone to call me, they need to use the Alexa app to call in to my tiger. I'm fine with that. If someone really wants to chat for a while, they can message me so that I initiate the call to them.

I'll note that some people complain about the 'not perfect' audio quality. I'm not sure what someone expects from a tiny plastic sphere. I have Harman Kardon speakers on my desk. If I really want stellar classical music, I'll play through those. But if I just want something poppy in the background while I work? The tiger is absolutely perfect for that.

Ask with any questions - I'm quite pleased!
