    Bought one for my mother's hospital room ... not too hard for her to learn to use to ask for radio and music programming. Works fine as a stand-alone device in a hospital with WiFi.

    It’s Alexa, what could go wrong?

    So far so good. We use it in the family room and we often fight over who gets to ask Alexa something. With the growing list of services (apps) there is something new to discover every week.

    I mostly use this speaker for my dorm room to drown out the noise of my suite mates doing whatever and it’s a great speaker. One is loud enough and does the trick. The sound quality is great too.

    My echo dot has been fun to play with, I haven't quite figured out how to make it work with my television though.

    Echo is easy to setup. I love to ask her to play music for me. Very reliable as an alarm clock, reminds me of things when I ask. I am excited to find out how much more functional this device is.

    Alexa is very useful. I bought it on sale and almost all the rooms in my house have it now. I can control most of my appliances and electricals via voice now.

    No real knocks other than some of the ‘skills’ available are not up to par. Some of my smart devices (toshiba and Samsung TVs are either not supported or rely on third party developers for integration. But great to help remember shopping lists, listen to music and remind of important dates, times, or events.

    We got this for my 9 year old daughter. It has been great because it’s easy to use and she has the ability to listen to her music, books and audiobooks easily while she’s in her room.
