    I love Alexa! I'm very busy Person so i like the fact she will turn on my favorite radio station tell me brief news and order my favorite Pizza from Dominos and play trivia games. There's room for improvement but I got it on sale sonfor the money paid I'm happy with it.

    Ok but I wouldn't go to the trouble of buying this again. All I get is the weather and some music and it's really a waste of money and time. Even though Siri is slow at least serious with me all the time and this rests on my desk or on the table top and that's about it

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    It is by far the best piece of electronics I have purchased (ok, to an extent). Better than Siri and asking for any song to be played at any moment you are thinking of it is amazing!

    It is fun to talk to Alexa from time to time. Once you teach her some skills, she can do a wide variety of things. We love playing music with her and making lists for groceries.

    Excellent addition to my wife's craft room for music and more...with her hands busy in the craft room, Alexa allows music choice and volume (and a lot more!) on a hands-free basis.

    Any Alexa speaker is a great investment but this one to me is the best. Works as a stand alone speaker but can also be plugged into things such as sound bars. Easy to set up

    We are having a lot of fun with the Echo. Purchased for my boyfriend for Christmas. We've bought a couple of the smart outlets, and it's very convenient to say "Gameroom on" and have the lights and fireplace all come on without having to turn everything on, as our hands are often full when entering the gameroom. Also have it connected to Fitbit, so if I don't have my phone and the Fitbit is charging, I can just ask how I'm doing. Good weather reports and news briefs, and the best part is you can just say, "Stop" when you don't want to hear any more. Convenient saying aloud an item for a grocery or to-do list, then having it on your phone when you get to the store. We've also enjoyed the music (have it connected to speakers in the living room). Only drawback is it can't answer a lot of things. One example, I asked when the new Bladerunner was going to come out, and it could only give me info on the original show.

    The Amazon Echo is their response to Siri in stereo. It has terrific voice recognition and constantly learns new things. The only shortcoming is that it doesn't play nicely with iTunes.

    This is my 2nd Echo, and I also have two of the smaller Dots. Amazon has now enabled multi-room music playing, with all your speakers that you've designated perfectly synced with each other. It also serves as a good quality Bluetooth speaker so you can use it with any other app on your device for sound. I also use it to control my connected lights and can even operate my entertainment system through a logitech hub. And, the voice assistant Alexa is just getting smarter and smarter with every passing month. Get it on sale when it's under 100 dollars and it makes one of the most useful electronics purchases you could make!
