    Far and away blows away the Echo Dot in terms of sound quality. The higher cost is offset by the need to purchase a decent quality bluetooth speaker for the Dot.

    The Amazon Echo is a great device that continues to evolve. Not perfect yet, but the fact that it continues to get better with new skills is encouraging. Setting it up and connecting to my other smart devices was easy and has worked seamlessly ever since.

    I use the echo to control all my smart home appliances (lights, thermostat, remote, cameras, etc...). It is so much easier than using the apps. I have 2 as well as the Tap.

    Fun and handy but not essential

    The echo is a really fun, handy device to have around. I always start my day with "Alexa...good morning" for a fun fact about the day. My wife and I use her in conjunction with our philips hue lights and nest thermostat which makes you really feel like you have a "smart home". Asking questions and taking advantage of prime music are a few additional things we use Alexa for on a regular basis. Overall I think, as long as you purchase the echo when it's on sale, it's a worthy investment, especially if you have other connected devices, but it's not an essential device that you can't live without.

    This is a great product and you begin to rely on using alexa. I would recommend readings about all the echoes prieo to buying so that you choose the one that most fits you. I was glad I did because it could be overwhelming when you get to the store.

    Siri is great but Alexa takes hints up a notch. I have gotten Philips Hue bulbs and love that I can control lights throughout my house by just asking Alexa to manage them.
