Customer Ratings & Reviews

Alexa definitely makes life easier. The only downside is that she doesn't understand everything you say. I mostly use her for music, timers, and daily weather and news. The DOT doesn't have the sound quality of the full Echo, though

The Amazon Echo can do it all. I use it mostly to play music, set timers, and ask it questions but will eventually use it to control household items.

This product is great for reading you the news, a book or the weather. Alexa is great at setting timers and alarms and telling silly jokes. If you ask Alexa a "google" type question such as "What was the score to 'such and such' college basketball game", most times she cannot answer even if you pose the question a number of ways. Sometimes, you can ask a question differently from the way you would intuitively ask a question and Alexa will answer. This proves frustrating to me. It is a very expensive gadget that your phone can easily do with a few keystrokes. I am considering returning it and purchasing the google product to see if there is an improvement.

I wasn't sure what to expect besides music, and this echo does SO much more! We can check the weather, it tells jokes, and is all around just fun to have!

Gave this to my dad for his birthday. He loves it. Can play music, keep lists, set timers, and set up my buddy which is awesome. And it only gets better.

This works just like I hoped it would. Ties in with my hue lights and works even better after installing IFTTT app to pairs other features and devices to it.

I use it mostly for listening to music. As I learn more, I'm sure Alexa will get smarter too. I am 61 years old and even I can use it. Way too much fun.

Exceeds my expectations. Great fun for the whole family. Daily jepordy is lots of fun!. Add the nest thermostat and light controls and you won't be sorry.

Works awesome. Was hesitant at first not sure how it works but after playing around with it for a while you figure out all the cool things it can do.

I bought the echo after I used it at a friends house, we have a large family so the echo gets used alot and moved around alot, its a huge favorite of everyones

I am so happy I chose the Echo over the Google. Clear sound, listens better than google. More knowledgable than google, answers all questions correctly.

Tons of things Alexa can do!!!!! PLay music, tell jokes, uodates on news, make phone calls. Juts a great new technology that makes life a ton easier

What a cool product and very easy to set up. We've used it a LOT so far and haven't even scratched the surface of everything it can do. Highly recommend!!

Bought this for my husband and he loves it, so easy for him to get information, he's not one for computers and this is a magnificent substitute for his needs.

Amazing use for many purposes. Ask Alexa to set alarms, play pandora, and weather anytime. Well worth the money. I use it even more than I anticipated. ♡♡

Really enjoy the echo. Can ask it just about anything. Has great speaker sound, love listening to my music on it. Excellent product. Glad i purchased it.

We are very happy with our purchase. We use Alexa everyday for various things and really enjoy playing jeorardy.

Alexa is able to pickup my voice from several rooms away. It's able to search for anything that I ask for - even reading the news. The only thing that wasn't completely smooth was the initial setup. I would recommend this product.

You get much better sound from the Echo than from the Dot - need to add a speaker to the Dot, adding to the cost. Wish these devices did a better job of looking info up on the internet. Siri seems to work better in that regard.

Great to have, very friendly and easy to use, my daughter uses it to check her math problems, and any silly question she has Alexa has an answer...
