    This things great! I have it control, lights, my alarm system, & my thermostat. It integrates with IFTTT like a dream as well. The only drawback is having to remember all of the command phrases verbatim. Sound quality is pretty decent unless you turn it out real loud....

    I think Alexa is great. We first saw it while visiting family and were intrigued. We used our Best Buy point, so the risk was minimal. Alexa is great at answering questions related to whether, sporting events, calendar, shopping and todo lists. I like that I can print out my todo and shopping lists and that she can add events to my online calendar. We haven't even scratched the surface and we love Alexa already!! We also decided to join Amazon prime and are very satisfied so far...keep up the good work Amazon!!

    Ok. So it's super cool being able to just talk to something that's right there in the kitchen and ask questions, set a timer, check the news or even listen to music. You just have to get over the freak out of who else might be able to listen in if hackers find a way!

    The echo was easy to set up and works as it should. It is useful when you have a question just ask and it will normally answer you . My 9 year old uses it for math homework

    I mainly use Anazon Echo for streaming radio stations, shopping list, alarms/timers. Volume on the device is pretty decent. Kids love asking Alexa all sorts of questions too. I wish I could turn it on to a radio station instead of an alarm. Overall a good purchase.

    I love the ability to just say what song I want to hear and Alexa plays it, or stops immediately when I instruct her to. The jokes and pick up lines are a crowd favorite as well.

    This is a fun device for listening to music and getting news updates. I thought it would have a bit more functionality but I think I need to explore apps that it works with and I am sure more will be coming but for the price point the speaker alone is worth it.
