    The device is fun to use and is nice for the family. I wish this model had the connection to other systems like the smaller version. Music is really nice and easy to play through the device.

    I absolutely love my Alexa! The speakers sound as good, if not better than the Bose speakers in my vehicle.

    Alexa is fun to use and the speaker is plenty loud for my bedroom. Haven't installed anything for home animation yet.

    What great interactive features...understands commands very well except when music is loud. Why not add a digital or analog output so it can be used in conjunction with your home audio as well?

    The Echo allows you to pipe music through any room in your house. And you can use it for an alarm clock or radio.

    We are enjoying Alexa for her flash briefing of the news, music on demand, calendar review, and shopping lists. We have not even begun to touch on what Alexa can do. Can't wait to learn more.

    Bluetooth speaker a bit wonky

    There's a lot of growing functionality with this product. I have a Philips Hue setup in my home, and it's nice to just ask for a certain lamp or set of lamps to turn on, off, dim or brighten. Saves me a trip to the lightswitch! The bluetooth speaker functionality seems spotty, as I have it connecting to my PC and it will arbitrarily disconnect, whereas other bluetooth speakers within about the same radius will connect and stay on. Aside from that, it's rather like having your phone handy and constantly listening to you, so you need not pull it out and ask for your appointments (or make them), and other things you might be used to doing with the Google Voice feature (or Siri).

    This product is fun & easy to use. It's good fun for the whole Family. There have been a few issues with connecting nest & hue but once I received the proper guidance it was a breeze.
