    Echo should be in everyone's home! It provides so much entertainment. Music, Weather forecasts, shopping list and something to help organize your home.

    The Echo is awesome. It works like a champ and once you get used to the commands, you find that even a remote control is not enough. Highly recommend it.

    I purchased on Amazon Echo, set it up, and used it and absolutely love it! I have automated my Philips Hue lights, ecobee3 thermostats, television, and garage doors with it. I loved it so much, that I purchased a second for my upstairs, and purchased one for my brother for Christmas. He loves it as well. I use it for my alarm clock, cooking timer, weather notifications, and news. There are so many things to do with this device, that the list is too long to write. I hope they update the application so you can use multiple Echos as intercoms throughout the house.

    I am enjoying the Echo. I get news, weather and other information that I like each day. It is nice that I can also play the music I have with Amazon. I add new tasks all the time and I am still learning what I can do with it.

    I toyed with the idea of getting an Echo. Now that I have one, I love Alexa. She lives in the kitchen: "Alexa, set the timer for 10 minutes." Using IFTTT.com, she integrates with my Nest thermostat, my Rachio watering system, etc. She lets me know when stuff from Amazon is coming. She is there to answer questions. But she can be annoying when Jeopardy is on the TV. Some contestants with the right voice will give their answer -- remember, the answer is a question -- "Who is Queen Elizabeth II?" And, Alexa will tell you all about Queen Elizabeth II. How can you not love her?

    I bought an Amazon Fire tablet for my sister some years back (she didn't want anything more in her life that was techie but she did love the large tablet) and she uses it a lot. I got the Amazon Echo for her for Christmas and it is a great complement to the Fire tablet. With very minimal training (5 minutes) she can call up music channels from Pandora, play her own music, ask about the weather and lots of other stuff that she may not do but could do. It is very helpful to use the apps on the Fire tablet to set the Pandora channels, and otherwise tweak the Echo.
