Customer Ratings & Reviews

This thing is amazing, Alexa hears really well and is actually correcting me on song titles I get wrong. Hands free abilities is the future, get it today.

Echo is not just fun but useful to a small degree. It's fun with apps like Jeopardy and jokes. Somewhat useful is the flash briefings with news and finding out the weather and the traffic for the drive to work. Somewhat more useful, but still really just fun, are the lights you can buy and turn on and off by voice. The most practical for me is the ability to add to the shopping list by multiple family members which then goes to the Alexa app that everyone has which they can check while out shopping. It's not Star Trek quality, but I'm still glad I got it.

Purchased Amazon Ech and for a few days found myself using Alexa (virtual assistant) a lot. It was a lot of fun however, after a few weeks I rarely use it. I think because I use more apple products, Echo is not always compatible with things aroumd my house. It is nice to have when you need quick information (if your phone is not nearby). Alexa responds very quickly, soumds great, looks great, and has some fun skills. If you have products that you can use in pair with Echo to cut on appliances or lights, you will use it a lot more. Overall a good product!

Alexa is a great device to have around the house. You can conveniently add things to your shopping or to-do list or get a quick snapshot of the news and weather. Alexa has fun features like playing jeopardy and 20 questions. The only downside is she is not connected to the internet, so you can't get answer to random questions, like if you were asking Siri. Hopefully that feature will come soon!

I was a bit uncertain on whether or not we would actually use this enough to warrant the purchase. After having it for two weeks I can definitively state that we do. It's such a great speaker that doesn't require linking to a phone, and that makes me listen to music far more often. The assistant features are also quite nice. Overall, very worth buying and keeping in your main room.

We are wanting to automate our home and purchasing Alexa(Echo) was the first piece to this pie. We do not have any true automation components yet, but I have been using this to listen to music while getting my house decorated for Christmas. It is sooooo easy to use and it understands requests on the first try. I love Alexa and cannot wait to get a few more products to "teach Alexa new skills".

I use the echo every day. I play Jeopardy with my kids. It is very easy to set up and use. My favorite skill is the list maker. I just tell it what I need and it populates the list on my phone. I have lamps connected to the echo, and I can just tell Alexa to turn it on and off. I have used it more than once to find my phone! And the selection of music is incredible, and great sound.

I enjoy asking Alexa questions and getting fast answers without having took things up myself. Ordering products from amazon using the echo is so easy.

Can choose whatever music for whatever mood or inclination INSTANTLY, especially with Amazon Unlimited Music option! Very happy with this new device!

I would absolutely recommend purchasing this product. She can play music, interact with you by playing games once you adjust your settings. You will LOVE her and want to buy one for each room.. We purchased an Echo and now have 3 dots for each of our bedrooms so we now have our own assistants in our bedrooms. DEFINITELY if you are considering this DO IT NOW!!! You will NOT regret it.

I bought this thing thinking it's a cool little gadget. But I have to admit, she has the ability to do a lot of things. It's like Siri on steroids! With the appropriate items, she's able to turn on/off lights, order things through Amazon and they just announced that she will soon be able to interact with the bmw i3! The kids especially love it, they just wish she can do their homework!

Just have to make sure to watch the little girl around it. She has figured out how to ask Alexa for stuff.... I use it to wake me up in the morning and get the daily news briefs, listen to music and call home when no one is answering mobile devices (you can do this through the app on your phone). Can also be connected to your phone via bluetooth as a speaker - not the best quality sound but bigger than what your phone offers. Highly recommend this or smaller versions (i gave the TAP to my son so he can use it for homework - it's in his room).

Amazon did it on this one. I love my Echo, from checking the weather to asking random questions. I plugged mine up at the store and played with it for 30 mins with other customers and employees. This thing is a must.

Great for family especially my kids. Alexa has been keeping them busy - engaging them by answering unending questions, playing music, educational insight (history, geographical, science, math...). In addition we are now almost always playing our Christian worship music on the Echo. Hands down the Echo has become the greatest addition to our family among all gadgets..

I got this to use as basically a speaker, but it does so much more! I use her all the time for setting timers, making shopping lists, turning off and on lights. We are adding more items to it slowly. We are adding more lights, the garage door opener, thermostats. So far she has been just great. My kids even enjoy asking her to tell jokes. I would recommend this to everyone. We love it!

Alexa keeps getting smarter and smarter. With all the upgrades you can't keep up. The 360 degree omnidirectional sound is incredible for music.

I've had an Echo for a couple years now, and it is pretty slick in some cases and grossly frustrating at others. Playing music, setting timers, asking specific questions and overall home control works well. Whenever you ask it what seems like a simple question in some cases, she cannot answer. Sometimes she hears wrong and plays music that is beyond interesting. One thing I can say is that Amazon has been working to make Echo better and better. I set 4 stars because I don't think it is quite a 5 star product yet.

Got the Echo as a gift, didnt really know what to think of it at first. Then after learnig what all it can do, i was hooked. Use it everyday!

My mother uses it almost everyday and continues to thank me for gifting to her. She is always asking Alexa questions and having her play music.

The Amazon Echo is an incredible high-tech speaker. The speaker quality is awesome with a nice woofer. It's definitely the way of the future!
