    I already had a Echo but the wife apparently liked it more than me and took it over. I bought a Dot for about $120. Less than the Echo and personally prefer that. The wife decided she wanted another Echo for the basement. They are both great and work well with my Nest thermostat. If you get one you will love it. It takes a little time to figure out the best way to ask things from it so it responds correctly the first time. Bought it on sale for $50. Off.

    Got this included in a package deal with our Harmony Elite a few months back, and it has served as a decent add-on accessory throughout our home. We mainly use it as a bluetooth speaker for our mobile devices since the Amazon Prime Music library is pretty sparse, and Alexa isn't nearly as advanced as Siri in terms of answering questions. However, I was able to create a rule using Amazon's API that allowed me to link Google search. Alexa is also inconsistent with performing smart home tasks, but I'm sure this will improve over time. I wouldn't pay full price for this device, but I would recommend if you can find it on sale.

    I have tried the google home smart device and I have been much happier with the Amazon echo. It has a good microphone - I can speak commands from across the room. It almost always responds correctly to my questions / commands. The smart features work well and I am VERY happy that I can stream whatever I want to it as a bluetooth device. It's an overall better product than Google Home but the speaker volume is not high quality at the louder levels. I don't really need to crank it up that often so it's adequate for me, but that might be a more important feature for others. Overall - I am very pleased with this product.
