The bad, buyer alert - all the complaints about not being able to group Sonos speakers with Alexa speakers and Echo are true. Despite Sonos' carefully crafted language to the contrary.
The good - speaker is great for all the reasons that you've seen and there is an easy work around for Alexa groups.
The problem - you'll see a lot of reviews that complain because you cannot put Sonos speakers and Alexa Echo Dot devices/speakers into groups. If you are a fan of Alexa groups as I am and use it to play throughout your house, that's a major fail and that's what most reviewers say. And I agree with them that this is a terrible oversight and needs to be corrected by Sonos or Amazon. I didn't see those reviews until after I bought. happy ending ahead.
The workaround - what you can do is attach a Sonos speaker as you would any Bluetooth speaker to an Echo Dot. Then you can add that pairing to a group just as you would any Alexa device.
My application, patio - I wanted outdoor speakers from the patio that were connected to my Alexa group inside the house so I had seamless music as people moved in and out. That's why I was disappointed when I could not connect the Sonos Move to my group aptly named party time.
Connecting the Sonos Move to the Echo was super easy and solved my issue. I had an extra echo device to use, but even if you have to buy one it's only 30 bucks. The echo device does not also play music though, it only comes out through the slaved speaker.
Great thing for me was portability of the Move speaker and its outdoor capabilities. I could not find any Echo devices that were rated for outdoor. So this solved that problem. The Echo stays inside and the Move is ready to take outside and don't have to worry if I forget to bring it in.
Big sound filled my 3500 sf patio and pool with one speaker. though admittedly I am polite to neighbors.
Before this, I had an excellent Sony GTX speaker that was connected to a Echo device and that worked fine, but it was a nuisance because the Sony had to be plugged in and the Sony speaker was huge and I had to bring it inside because it wasn't an outdoor speaker.
I also had the option of doing wired speakers but I thought that was more expensive to install and elected not to do. Also considered solar powered speakers but they all seem to be weaker speakers so ruled that out. Connecticut reviewer

Sonos displays false advertising on their website.
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2020
I purchased this Sonos Move and their website states “Ultra Durable. Don’t worry about accidental drops or bumps. Move’s components are protected by a hard-wearing shock resistant case.”After calling Sonos and explaining that it fell off of a small end table much like what is shown on the website (Photo attached) they are not standing behind their product. In fact my 3 month old Sonos Move is being classified as “out of warranty.” Instead of replacing it, they said they would only give me 30% off of a new unit. So I guess that $399 unit will have to go out with the trash. Thanks Sonos as I plan to dedicate a website illustrating my Sonos experience and plan to give it a very high search engine rating.

Everything I hoped it would be

Sound quality awesome lots of bass! Wireless capability amazing in areas in my backyard where my cell phone has trouble connecting to the wireless home Netwerk the speaker connects without any problem at all! My big concern was would it work with my Sonos system that was installed 10 years ago? The answer is yes! If you’re like me and your home was built 10 years ago with the initial Sonos products controlled by the Sonos one app on your phone I had concerns buying a new product if it would integrate. This one does. First you download the new Sonos to app to your phone and register the new device out of the box. Then you reset the device from your phone and downgrade it from Sonos to to Sonos one. About a 10 minute process and it effortlessly joined the rest of my son on speaker group and really has proven to be quite weather resistant and extremely portable very happy with the purchase.

This is not your normal Sonos. Put the price out of your mind.

Este es mi primer equipo SONOS, y estoy encantado en muchas cosas, y en otras este producto me quedó mucho a deber, considerando el precio. Traté de resumir lo que me gustó y lo que no en los siguientes “pros” y “cons”:Reviewed in Mexico on May 17, 2022
Pros:
• Unboxing: toda una experiencia, la caja y los empaques son de muy buena calidad.
• Estética de 10: a pesar de ser un “cilindro”, se ve bastante minimalista y queda bien en cualquier lugar de la casa.
• Sonido nítido y potente: es la principal razón por la que lo compré, y no me decepcionó, el equipo suena bastante bien, y puedes adaptar los bajos y graves. El sonido es realmente cristalino.
• El sonido se dirige a varias partes, no es 100% direccional, si la pones contra una pared, notarás que el sonido no solo va hacia adelante, sino también a los lados.
• Portátil: es grande y pesada, pero trae una agarradera atrás y la muevo por la casa o en el jardín, eso me encanta.
• Alexa integrado: me gusta que traiga asistente de Alexa, sin embargo también he visto fallas en esto (las explico más abajo)
• Conectado con WiFi: creo de lo más característico de Sonos es que se conecta mediante WiFi, así la música no depende de que tu teléfono esté cerca y con el bluetooth conectado. (también tiene opción de bluetooth)
Cons:
• El asistente Alexa es muy sensible: basta con que digas “Alex” o a veces palabras parecidas para que se active el asistente, bajando el volumen de música o en ocasiones contestando cosas que uno no preguntó. Esto no pasa con mis dispositivos Echo.
• En ocasiones se desconecta: esto ha sido lo más molesto, a veces, después de no usarla por unas cuantas horas, el equipo desaparece de la app de Sonos, y tengo que pasar por todo el “toubleshooting” para que la red la encuentra y la añada de nuevo, eso me toma unos 2 o 3 minutos hacerlo.
• App es algo limitada: soy usuario Android, no sé si en iOS sea igual, pero la app de Sonos usando Spotify es algo limitada en la búsqueda, prefiero usar Spotify directamente y de ahí reproducir en Sonos.
• Batería: considerando el tamaño y peso de esta bocina, esperaba que le durara más la batería. Además, incluso aún sin usarla se descarga rápidamente.
• Precio: cuesta el doble que la Sonos one, y creo que el sonido es muy similar, por lo tanto la batería y hacerla portátil es le sube el doble de precio.
