    This is one of the best purchases I've made in a long time. I use the echo to control my Nest thermostat, my lights, my sprinkler, pretty much almost everything connected to my Wink.

    My Amazon Alexa is amazing . I have it hooked to my smart devices as well . She was a little stubborn when first set up but with tech support the problem was soon taken care of .

    I got this from my son as a Birthday gift. I am a low tech mom, so I'm still learning on how to use it. So far I listen to the news, musics, timers, telling jokes. Next on my list is cooking & more. If a low tech mom like me can use it, anyone can use it too.

    Takes getting use to asking the questions in the right way. Alexa is still learning so at times can be frustrating when asking questions. Great for music, weather, dates, and schedule requests. Its an entertaining companion when your home and enjoying some private time.

    Alexa is a blast and a lot of fun. Voice recognition works well and the microphone picks up speech at quite a distance. I also purchased a dot. Boy have decent sound quality.

    This is great fun. Finding out the local weather while you're having coffee is easy. Listening to your favorite songs and changing the volume by just a spoken word is a dream.

    Ok, so Alexa can't answer everything but so far I've asked the same questions to Siri and Alexa and get better answers from Alexa. Looking forward to growing my home automation system now. Volume is pretty good. Also bought a dot which will be used with my receiver.

    I love how you can play Spotify, Audible and set alarms and sleep timers at the sound of your voice. The Echo does a great job understanding what I am saying as well. Great purchase!

    Works as intended. Speaker could perform better, but still give 5 stars as it's not designed to just be a speaker but a voice activated assistant, which it does very well.

    Gift for mom. didn't know if she would use it. Seems to be useful and makes it easy for her to listen to music. Also helps with weather, jokes tend to be corny. Hasn't used it to order anything. Got one for other family members and they seem to use it too.

    We bought the Google unit and then returned it based on excellent word of mouth reviews from friends for the Amazon Echo. The kids use it often. Alexa has not disappointed us.

    Would love to see more siri like functionality, however this integrates extremely well with my Nest thermostat and with my Philips Hue lighting system. While I am still learning some of the ins and outs of the Amazon Echo, I think I will be happy for a long time to come.

    I was happy with the Echo but because I'm all Google I returned and went with the Google home. As far as the Echo the speaker was really good, picked up my voice from everywhere around my apartment (google home doesn't do as good as Alexa) Its a great toy for anyone

    Best Christmas gift ever! The kids enjoy listening to their music, asking Alexia for jokes and I like the fact that it gives us the weather and movie times for a local theater.
