It was hard to believe that they could actually improve over the original Echo but making it more compact and a choice of covers (Love the dark wood look) adding an output port to feed your sound system. And able to control many WIFI enabled units from Lights, Power Switchs, Garage Doors, with more to come. Far exceeds my hopes and needs. Can't wait to see what they do next !

Pleasantly surprised with the ease of setup and allows control of satellite TV with voice commands. Still learning all the possibilities, setting up a couple of awkward electrical outlets now. I should have bought earlier!

Was just looking to add another Echo to the house. The new version didn’t disappoint. It’s compact, new color looks nice, no sacrifice on sound quality as well.

This is never ending entertainment. Easy to setup. Great sound ands world of information at your command.

I love how many things you can do with device from asking it the weather, sport scores, how big it the earth, track my package from Amazon, controlling lights in the house, etc. This is a great voice activated device. You can play songs from Amazon music, control your Fire stick to find movies, etc. with your voice. Great product, good sound, and it has a ton of skills in the app you can add.
