Alexa is awesome!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazon echo is pretty cool. I'm a gadget guy so I enjoy technology like this. Alexa reads the news, weather, turns my lights on and off, plays music, makes shopping lists, etc. My only complaint is that to make a shopping list, you have to keep saying Alexa..."Alexa, add milk to the shopping list." "Alexa, add bread to the shopping list." "Alexa, add rice to the shopping list." And so on. So if you have to make a long list, it's a little tedious, but overall, I really like her.

Just Plain Awesome!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I actually started with an Amazon Echo Dot to see how the whole thing worked without having to spend a lot of money. I was amazed at how cool and useful the Alexa system can be. We were using one Echo Dot to make lists, check the weather, set calendar appointments, set alarms, and even play rainstorm soundtracks to help sleep at night. My birthday was just a couple of weeks ago and my wife got me the Echo as the main Alexa hub in our living room. The built-in speakers sound pretty good for what they are. Definitely a huge improvement over the Dot's built-in speaker, but even the Dot has a nice sound for as small as it is. We now have 4 Echo Dots and the Echo to control all sorts of WEMO switches and outlets around the house. We already had a NEST thermostat which integrated nicely and easily. The best thing is that Alexa understands all of our different voices... even our 4 year old. He can now turn his bedroom light on by asking Alexa to do it so he doesn't have to be afraid of the dark! It really is a very cool and convenient system. My wife thought it was silly at first, but she actually loves it. It's great for playing your iHeart Radio and Pandora stations too!

Great for a lot of things
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like this because it plays all prime music on Amazon and all you have to do is tell Alexa what you would like to hear and it will play it for you. We use it by our pool all the time and the kids have instant music. I use it daily for the weather, and I always know how to dress for the day. I am constantly learning more and more from Alexa.

Great Christmas present
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not only does what Siri does, but it takes it one step further by completing tasks that you ask it to do, like ordering pizza or ubers, which I do plenty of. With extra devices hooked to lights in your home, for example, you can ask Echo to turn your lights on, dim them, etc., before entering the home. This can be a real safety feature.

Great tool for the kitchen
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this product at Best Buy instead of online, as I wanted to get in the day I wanted it. Just the voice activated programing is worth it alone, and the quality of the sound. I was using my phone for music, and it was not the best quality and the battery would run out. This is a great product as it solves both of those issues and more!

Alexa is just Cool
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I went back and forth for quite some time about purchasing the Echo. I watched many YouTube videos and reviews as well as reading a lot about the product itself. I finally caught it on sale and used to gift cards to buy it despite protests from my wife. I have to say Alexa is pretty intuitive and has no issues recognizing my voice. There are times when you have to word a sentence specifically but that is just a minor annoyance. Amazon has done a great job updating the Echo weekly and adding relevant skills such as package tracking and even flight status. I use it mostly for news, weather, shopping lists, reminders, movie times, timers, and occasionally some music. If you have any smart appliances then controlling them with Alexa is really cool. I only have a smart plug right now but it is great to walk in to a dark room and just ask Alexa to turn the light on or when you are about to go to bed and do not want to walk in the dark, just ask Alexa to turn the light off once u are there. As long as it is a reasonable distance of course. I admit it is a bit pricey so one should really look at their possible uses because I could see the novelty wearing off for some but for me it is a keeper.

She ok still learning
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very easy to setup up and can be used to automate home using smart skills. I use to control hue lighting and nest products. Only complaint is she is not as smart as they say. Constant updates are making her better but lacking a lot of information when asked. Emails are sent with update info. 90 percent on voice commands. Wish it came with optional remote for when you are out of range of voice
