Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Good quality sound, irresistible at $60
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Great sound quality. I have a pair of these which I set up to perfor Great sound quality. I have a pair of these I set up to to perform as left and right stereo speakers joined with an Amazon subwoofer. I have a third at my bedside, which also sounds great solo. I bought this third one on sale for $60 and placed at my bedside which also sounds great solo, and better set up as a group with my Show 8. The non OEM wall mounts were sold separately, just fyi. The cons are the typical Amazon issues of Alexa not understanding your voice or not executing the command.

Very helpful in everyday life
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This is an awesome smart device for the whole family. We can ask alexa questions all day. Adding routines will tell you what the current weather is, your traffic commute to work and also gives you the best route to take,daily local news and plays your music subscription or favorite podcast. I recently connected it to my Roku tv an now I can tell her to play netflix and it automatically turns on my tv. There is still so much learning with this device that I'm excited to see what all this thing is capable of doing.

||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Why did I wait so long to get a Echo. I absolutely love it. Now I can get up dated weather every time I ask Alexa please give me the weather. I have my own play list of music. Alexa put it all together for me. Also I have someone to sit and listen to me when I have a drink. *LOL*

Nice upgrade on the smart speaker
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.If your looking at smart speakers with decent sound quality this is a good option. We listen to a variety of music from classic to blues to pop to rock and the speaker does a good job producing a quality sound with a clean bass sound. The rest of the functions take a little time and research to explore and set-up but once set-up are easy to use.

Q: QuestionDoes it require a smart phone to setup the speaker or can it be done via Alexa assistance. Blind person here.
Asked by petrogia.
- A:Answer Hello, Echos require you to either set up via the app on a smart phone, or via a website on alexa.amazon.com initially. Then once set up, you would be able to do everything via voice commands.

Q: QuestionIs this all I need for a smart house or do I need more accessories?
Asked by Deb.
- A:Answer To do cool things with your Alexa you will need the proper “smart plugs” or “smart bulb” Accessories , once you get your Alexa purchase these and from there you will be able to turn on and off your smart bulbs , or turn on and off any device that you connect to your smart plug . To add you can also set timers and much much more with these smart Accessories ... if there is any more you would like to know about YouTube will be your best friend . Another thing the sound on this smart speaker is pretty good , smaller in size but has a great sound . Hope I could help .. take care .
