My kids keep removing my Echo Dot from the the kitchen and taking it to other parts of the house (mainly to listen to music), so I bought another one on Amazon. They sell used Dots for as low as $32. I use my Dot to listen to music, NPR, podcasts, the weather, Audible books, and to ask it questions about things, and add to my shopping list.
Amazon Warehouse is a good place to get all kinds of used, returned, and refurbished stuff at a discount.
