Okay, so I finally caved and got the Echo Pop after seeing it everywhere. And wow - this little white hockey puck has become my new BFF!

The setup was stupid easy. Like 'plug it in and start talking to Alexa' easy. No tech degree required here. The glacier white color looks sleek AF on my nightstand.

Sound quality? For something this small, it's surprisingly decent! My bathroom concerts have never been better (sorry neighbors). It won't shake the walls but fills my bedroom perfectly.

Alexa actually understands me better than some humans do. From playing my morning playlist to turning off lights when I'm cozy in bed - she's got my back. Also, her dad jokes are terrible (but I love them).

Privacy was a concern but the mic-off button gives me peace of mind. Though let's be real - Alexa probably knows more about me than my therapist at this point.

At this price, I might get another one for the kitchen. Who needs roommates when you've got Alexa keeping you company?
