Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great device. Only issue is if your not using it for music then the Dot is a better buy.

Voice recognition is outstanding. Useful for setting an alarm to asking questions on the web.

I never thought i would need this having siri, but siri can't tie alexas shoe laces. I have her tied into my home automation system and its amazing. The speaker quality is not the greatest but not to shabby. The only complaint i have is having multiple Echos i can't sync them... Over all a must buy...

Good sound quality and a nice selection of skills that it can learn including radio shows

Love this! Having a great time learning all the new things it can do. Also love that Amazon and Best Buy send me emails about once a week with new things to try. Be careful to check and make sure that Smart Home products actually are compatible before purchasing them to use with Alexa.

Very easy to setup and use. Fun addition to family entertainment with the jeopardy game!

Amazon Echo is a great personal assistant. I find it more helpful than Siri on my iPhone. It can be used to set timers, work outs, and silly things like telling jokes plus much more. Also, it can be used to turn your home into a smart home which I have done with my lights. "Alexa, turn on lights."

Again after some time I just use it for music like the google one I started out with but was unhappy. I wish it looked better since it's pretty ugly. Also the lights are on the top so unless your standing next to it your not sure it's actually hearing you speak which can be frustrating from across the room needing to repeat your self over and over. It it's better at answering random questions then google.

I love alexa ,she plays all my favorite song , and i dont gotta move a finger to do it.

I'm not very electronic savvy but with a little help Alexa is helpful, funny, fun and smart!

Love it so far. Looking forward to connect whatever I can. It made my life easy already.

Now that we have begun to figure out how to use this, we are liking it much better. It didn't want to work well for us. When I called Amazon's help line, the person told me I couldn't get Amazon music if I was only Prime member. I had to get the premium package. I called again and got a more knowledgeable person and got it straightened out. At times Alexa has trouble getting things right. Learning curve.

Our technology and innovation are great and this device is a great tool to make life easier.

We mostly use our Echo to play Jeopardy and check the weather. That seems stupid, but it's really nice to have in the house. We also like to send messages to our friends who also have an echo. I hope they integrate a better search database so we can eventually use Alexa like we use our Google Assistant on our phones. She doesn't know much without having the search the web and send the info to your phone.

Once you learn how to use it you can have some fun with it plus it can be educational.

Bought this for playing music, but am learning that it can do so many things. Love it.

The Echo is overall about what I expected, except that it's not very friendly with free music sites that I use often on other devices with no issues. Amazon obviously wants you to sign up Prime in order to get music from them. It also will not allow you to use Spotify's free service, only Premium. You can set up some of the other free sites, but that has to be done on the Alexa account. It's just a pain.

The echo does very well with playing radio station and some music . There are many artists she doesn't recognize . A number of artists you have to pay extra for through a signup . I was somewhat disappointed that with more than 2 million items more regular music should be available. Amazon prime under performs here . Setting alarms and timers are easy . I look forward to interfacing with lights and thermostats

Not needed but convient to use for music and questions. Kids enjoy giving her orders.

Saw it at my friend's house and thought it would be fun to have it. Looking forward to more added function in the future. I enjoy talking to Alexa every morning and evening after I get home. Now I play Spotify music and I Heart Radio through it and the speaker works great! Enjoy this new toy!
