    What's not to like? This thing does it all. If you are a trivia buff, you will be occupied for hours, So much info in a small cylinder with a tiny footprint. It is unobtrusive, fits in with any decor. Keeps the grandkids busy for hours.What will they think up next? It's already been replaced by a similar unit with a screen. (the look). It performs as they say, with enough microphones that can hear across a loud room. The speakers are good, but don't expect to be blown away. My advice...find it on a big sale and enjoy.

    I was especially glad it was so easy to get it connected and start using. Some of the limitations is how you ask Alexa a question, Sometimes you have to word the question different in order to get a useful response.

    This unit has a speaker built-in. The bullet has to be connected to an external source in order for it to obey the commands. Great purchase

    I bought the echo after falling in love with the echo dot. The functionality of the speaker is fantastic and the sound quality is much better on this speaker than the dot. All in all a great speaker that's fun to use!
