" ... Fremo Evo will need to be plugged into the wall with the cord sent with your Echo Dot 2. ... "
" ... Its nice to move it from room to room with me or take it to work without remembering to bring the power cords. ... "
" ... Like I said, I find it a bit pricey for a battery, but it's nice not having to carry the cord around the house or out to the patio (as long as you have Wi-Fi). ... "
" ... Again here the choice is freedom, not having to have some thing with a long extension cord to drag out all the time, which i don't do. ... I have had no problem plugging in the adapter from Echo to Fremo or the usb cable that came with Echo, i've read other reviews where people say theirs doesn't work, probably because it is not the original cable, and yes that makes a difference. ... "
" ... Works great, except that once and a while unplugging the cord from it will cause the Echo Dot to restart. ... Protip: unplug the cable from the wall first. ... "
" ... Stronger adapter and shorter USB cord resolved this. ... "
" ... Cool Alexa with no wires. ... "
" ... When I plugged the Dot into it's cord it worked fine. ... "

" ... It is not secure . ... "
" ... Connector piece is a little fragile . ... so be careful inserting it (and try not to remove it). ... "
" ... Very disappointed and feel ripped off. ... "
" ... So, if you bump it, or pick it up by the Dot they will come apart and the connector between the two will be irreparably broken. ... "
" ... I'm pretty sure the problem lies in the flimsy little white connector that attaches the Dot to the battery base, but regardless it's a total waste of money and absolutely useless now. ... "
" ... no plastic wrapping i was supposed to take off. ... "
" ... 1, the power connecter looks awkward, like something bumping out of the shape. ... "
" ... I get nervous it is going to fall off and break ... "
