I was pretty amazed at the Amazon Echo and what it could do. The sound quality was pretty impressive for such a small unobtrusive unit and setup was pretty simple. The number of "things" that will work with the Echo once setup is neat. However, I did return my Echo unit when I learned that an even better unit, the Echo Plus, will soon be available. The Echo Plus comes with a built-in hub, bigger speakers, and at a lower cost as well. You can't go wrong with either, especially if you already have an IoT hub!

Its running my whole house lights, heat, door locks, phone and messaging. and a kick azz juke box. Great product.

Alexa is one of the best electronics i have bought for myself. She does everything.

I love my Alexa! I renamed her Computer because of Star Trek. We have so much fun listening to music, playing games and telling her to clean the house with our Neato botvac or turn on the sprinklers with our Rachio irrigation controller. As we learn more cool things this personal assistant can do the happier I am we purchased one. We like it so much we purchased another for our bedroom and a Dot for our daughters room. They work together as an intercom system too so no more yelling for one another or texting, admit it, you do it too, we can now just drop in and talk to one another. I am planning to continue purchasing items that Alexa can control and look forward to the advancement in personal assistant technology. So many things she can do already!!! I highly recommend getting 1 or 2 or 3!!!

I was so excited to get this cool new tech toy in my home that would make it easy for me to enjoy the music of my choice. I never gave a thought to all Alexa would do for me. First of all. The set up was like 1,2,3. Once the app was downloaded it was a piece of cake. Alexa is like my personal assistant, she makes appts, shopping lists, wakes me up on time, finds the recipe I'm looking for and so much more....all I have to do is ask. I can't wait to get the adapters to make my home into a smart home.
