    Had some remodeling performed in the house. Had to move the echo to another location. After the job was finished, moved it back and just needed one in both locations.

    The amazon echo is great. She knows and understands majority of commands. I haven't used that much, but from what I have seen... so far so good. Got it on sale xmas season!

    We are very much enjoying our Echo. Our grand children do too. Alexa answers all sorts of questions for us and we particularly enjoy the music we request. We have an app downloaded on our tablet so we can listen to podcasts and radio stations too. It's great!

    I think everyone knows by now that this is a must have item. If you find it on sale and don't already have one then you should probably buy it. It's a great product.

    We recently purchased the Amazon Alexa and I love it! She can set an alarm, give sports updates, play music and my favorite tell jokes. I would definitely recommend.

    Nice "tecky" device, limited functions

    I am an Amazon fanboy. I'll say it right up front. This device, although nice, currently has limited functions, especially considering the $200 price tag. So until more useful functions (linking to Google Now for instance) are added, I can only give my Echo as much as it pains me to do so, an average rating. Nice to have if you have extra cash sitting around and you don't mind waiting so see if useful functions will be added, but without Android syncing and functions,or the ability to control for example,TV channels, it's far from Amazon's usual "gotta have it right now!" category.

    My husband wanted this so he bought it. We've had it for about 2 months now and I don't really see a huge need for it. It was fun at first but I find that nobody really uses it much now. Maybe if I took the time to research I may find it more interesting

    Great sound for a little device. Definitely expensive, but if you can get it on sale I would definitely recommend this device. But, you must have wi-fi in your home.

    I didn't know much about the device before buying other than the fun commercials. I figured that it was internet connected and could do anything I asked it to. I quickly learned this is not the case. You aren't able to just plug it in and expect it to know everything on the internet. It seemed it didn't know know some basic questions. It uses skills where are like phone APs. You have to enable each skill in order to use it. When you want to use a skill much like an ap you have to remember the specific skill and then Include that in what you ask it to do. It seems like it does home automation well and basic functions but it has a long way to go before it's a know everything on the internet

    My husband really wanted an Echo after using it at our son's house. I did not realize how much we would use it. I know we don't use all of the features - my favorite is the shopping list & the quick access to it on my phone. Little things help a lot.

    I bought the echo for its music abilities and the ability to listen to the radio. My only wish is that amazon finally allows amazon music to be played as an alarm.
