    This is great for things like Pandora and playing music from your Amazon library by just asking Alexa. I also was able to get a thermostat that was compatible and can have Alexa change the temp by asking her to. Wemo devices are touch and go. Sometimes after a wemo firmware update they do not work. Also it could use a line out to hook up to a receiver like the dot does. Note it works with Spotify if you have a premium account only not the free one.

    The speaker sounds horrible at different times, it is not consistent at all. Its better to buy an echo dot and pair to a sonos speaker

    I purchased the Echo when it was on sale for a great price. I figured it was a good price for a decent Bluetooth speaker and if we ever learned how to use any of the other features that'd be "gravy". Well, we've enjoyed a lot of "gravy". It's become so useful, we got Echo Dots for the kid's rooms.

    Having so much fun with my Echo. It is full of things to do once you get used to how to ask it. You have to say the name of the skill before you can ask a question. Once you get the hang of it, it is great. There is still so much more that it can do that I haven't yet discovered. You won't regret this purchase.
