    Easy to use. Sometimes does not understand or have the information. Use regularly as a kitchen timer and for weather updates.

    I really like the echo alexa. I started the digital age in my home. Little by little but it all started with alexa. I still have a long way to go. But it has been a fun journey to take. Now i can control my lights,tv,doors, music around my home. My 2 year old daughter would speak with alexa and say. "Alexa, let it go" the frozen song will come up.

    We have had the Echo for some time now and we always have the same complaint... It is not able to answer most of the questions we ask. When it does answer it is great. We are happy with the quality of the speaker and use it for music regularly. I do wish it would acknowledge that it hears me. I often find myself repeating my questions because Alexa didn't hear me. It's very frustrating.

    We are really happy we purchased our "Echo", we really enjoy simply asking Alexa questions, and the music selection is great. We simply say Alexa, play a Dean Martin song, and here it comes, if it is something we really like we simply say Alexa, a little louder. It is a lot of fun with a small investment, and Best Buy is the place to purchase.

    Enjoyable to have so much music so readily available. Also great to have songs from back in the day so readily available. Having a weather forecast at voice command helps things run more smoothly in the morning. Very convenient to have a timer available even though your hands are sticky with dough or meatloaf. The ap is also good for finding new skills.

    Our Echo is fun. The only problem is that Alexa seems to turn herself off and won't respond. Otherwise, love the music.
