    Alexa can be annoying sometimes when doesn't respond to your commands or doesn't know the answer or answers from the tv. But I still love it I have two of them.

    Love Echo - using in bedroom. My wife uses it more than I, and we're probably using only 1/4 of Alexa's ability. Mostly listen to music which fills the room well.

    "Alexa" has been a welcome addition to our household. One of our favorite features is music on demand with a great.sound for such a small speaker. She doesn't know everything, so be prepared to have some of your questions go unanswered.

    I love the Echo but I hate the fact that it doesn't have a rechargeable battery. I would really be convenient if I could take it on the beach or out to a park without having to worry about having a power source with me. Other than that it's great.

    I'd been using a 15+ year old stereo that was taking up a 2 ft square space. Alexa uses about 4 inches. The sound is fabulous! Why didn't I do this sooner?

    I purchased a couple of these to compliment the main unit. I have one in each room, as well in my kitchen, this way I dont have to worry if Alexa heard me or not. They work perfectly. The only downside I have seen so far is , I have a bluetooth speaker that I play music thru, and its paired with one echo, but if you are near a different echo and ask it to play music, it will not default ro the one with the speaker, but start playing thru the echo itself. I have not searched for a work around, and its possible that this is just my own setup mess up.. so I will still give 5 stars.

    Music, lights, jokes, news---Alexa does it all. Caution though, once you buy Alexa you may begin to spend more money on add-ons such as controlled lights.

    The echo is certainly able to answer many questions but it is inferior to the Google Home. We bought both and use them side by side and the Home is able to retrieve answers or information that the Echo is not on a somewhat frequent basis. Examples are questions or requests such as "how many calories are in a pop-tart", searching for certain songs or types of music, and calculating time and distance between two cities by car. The Home was able to do all of these things while the Echo was not. The home also tends to provide information beyond the direct answer to your question while the Echo does not. The Echo definitely has superior sound quality but I'm not sure it's worth it.

    it is a good product. But does not work well for some cases, for example, user with different noise environment, and different accent. Some times the searched results are funny. Also, hope it support other languages. Also Price too high.

    Alexa is great; however, since we have a couple lamps hooked up through Vivint; we ask her to turn them on and off. No matter how clearly or different ways we say it; she often gets confused as to which lamp to turn on/off or anything at all.
