    Our new Amazon Echo was very easy to set up! Alexa has a great voice and can perform countless tasks, we love "her".

    The sound is good and voice volume control is real nice. There are skills you need to find to do really so much. Learning what to say is getting better for me. I plan on buying a dot next.

    Was hesitate about buying the echo because of price. When it went on sale I said I had to have it. After realizing what it is and how to use it even if it wasn't on sale I would have ordered anyway.

    Echo - Has potential

    If you are using with compatible smart devices in your home (e.g. we use with Phillips Hue bulbs) Echo is great. We do get a bit frustrated with the search capabilities .... I suspect Google home is better at web search. Much of the time we ask a question, Alexa says she doesn't understand the question. Search is pretty limited to Wikipedia. there are many skills you can enable, and some of them are fun/helpful, but then you have to remember what to say to use the skill. I think this will be even more useful as we add smart devices to our home.

    I received the Dot as a gift and didn't even want one but I set it up and WOW! I was blown away with this little "hockey puck", device! Now this is coming from someone who still has a full stereo/phonograph system in the corner in a cabinet, but has not had it hooked up in years...just because. I did play music once in a while through Pandora on the tv but that's it. I liked the convenience of the dot and what it could do so much I took it bach and got the Echo and I like it a lot.
