    Many great features but the speaker does not meet expectations. I also have a google home. I ended up putting the google home in the living room because the sound was Better and put the Echo in the bedroom. I would also think it would be nice to have a plug to attach a speaker. You can use blue tooth but if your going to use a dedicated speaker to improve sound it would be nice to have the option.

    This is my second Echo purchase. I use "Alexa" while getting ready in the morning. Instead of looking for a clock, I ask "Alexa" for the time 20 times in the morning. I use the Echo to set alarms, and to listen to news/music. The Echo can also play books via Audible. Oh! I also use my Echo to control my lights. Buy the Echo. It's usefulness is endless.

    I got this initially to help with smart home lights and to answer questions so I didn't have to look things up. However, This Amazon Echo has a beautiful sound for music! It's also incredibly convenient to be able to ask "her" to play whatever we want to hear and have her play it or to play background music for dinner guests, etc.

    I bought this to be an assistant for my husband who is in the earlier stages of Alzheimers Dementia. He is able to ask about his schedule, get reminders to take his medicine, and get basic information like time and date. He also requests weather forecasts. Alexa always answers with a pleasant voice no matter how many times the question is asked.
