    The Echo has great sound and responds well to voice commands. I have not tried out all of the features yet, but so far I like it.

    If you are a major Amazon consumer, the Echo should be your first choice spot on. The range across a noisy apartment is great and using it with my Prime account features are awesome. There are quite a bit of "skills" you can add to increase the function (for example your alexa can ring your phone if you need to search for it, or use it in an emergency to contact a loved one), works great with Hue and Wemo and I actually use it regularly for shopping lists, weather and other entertainment/news updates. Adore my Echo

    Cool Product! Bought the Amazon and Google items at the same time... One for work, one for home... The google does seem to be a better product overall, and it calls you by name... Both good products though...

    Good sounding speaker, using your voice becomes more natural as you use it. If you have prime the included music is a great deal.

    Sound quality is pretty good if you want it to play background music, but I still prefer Sonos for this purpose. Alexa is useful for controlling the widest range of smart home products, but it's not backed by Google Home's superior search intelligence, so it isn't that great for asking in-depth questions of it. There are comparisons of these products out there, so take a look before making a decision. Since I mostly wanted it for home control, it suits my need.

    Automation by voice

    It is limited to what smarthome items you program it for. I have been able to turn lights, TV and thermostat up, on or off using my voice only. I'm still working on items with IFTTT for other equipment to do things when I get home or wake up. I found that I have to slow down when giving alexa commands as she doesn't always understand what I'm trying to tell her what to do. I had to purchase other equipment just for it to do what I wanted to do. I would recommend that you do your homework and make sure you either have everything or ready to buy the other equipment when you purchase alexa.
