Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

The echo provides you with weather updates, what's playing at the local theaters, updated News, plays voice activated games, plays your favorite music on demand, alarm clock, tells you what time it is, you can use it to turn on/off your lights, lock doors there's a variety of free apps to use it canhelp you with recipes for cooking, recipes for making drinks, has an app for health care. There are so many things that this echo can do. Highly recommend it.

This was a very good bye. 5 months later we are still a hundred percent satisfied with the product and we are only expanding off of it.

I have seriously enjoyed having Alexa. She makes it a breeze to reorder any supplies I may need for my home such as toilet paper or trash bags. I also love playing jeopardy with her and listening to music. She's also an awesome smart home hub and was so easy to sync with my hue lights and speakers. Definitely a purchase I'm glad I made.

Before the Echo we played music often for our toddler via Pandora on the Amazon Firestick. I am generally not an early adopter for the newest technology, but with a 95% music use case in mind and to experiment I pulled the trigger and bought one. Within a week I subscribed to the single-device option for Amazon Music Unlimited at a cost of 3.99/month after a free 30-day trial. Now we rarely use Pandora due to the expansive Amazon selection. I also upgraded to a smart thermostat and am looking into Philips Hue Color lighting. My experience has been positive enough to also buy an Echo Dot with Harman-Kardon Onyx Mini speaker for my parents. While great, however, there are opportunities for improvement: 1. Sometimes Alexa fails to find a selection which it succeeded at before. I made sure my command was identical and clear. 2. The suite of skills is weak and mostly pointless. I only use the news flash, weather, and traffic. 3. Search functionality for facts/answers is limited and based on reviews is likely worse than Google Home. 4. There is no integration with the Firestick/ Fire TV which is surprising. Currently one must buy a Logitech Harmony hub to do so. 5. Alexa struggles to find certain classical pieces even though I have confirmed them to be available on Amazon Music. Part of the problem might be the many versions which exist for a given piece as well as the distinction between composer and performing artist. Overall, I would recommend this product especially for those who listen to a lot of music, but don't expect perfection quite yet!

I was hesitant to buy this before but now feel that I made the right choice. Alexa syncs well will spotify and smart bulbs. Apart from listening music and too lazy to switch on/off lights, i can get an update about nearby traffic, weather before even getting out of the bed.

Alexa (AKA, Amazon Echo) Is A Complete And Absolutely Awesome Addition To My House And Home Automation, I've Even Brought Additional Smart Home Items For Her To Play With!!! Love That She's Always Learning.... Alexa Is Wroth The Investment!
