Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy to setup and use. Even without peripherals the syste interaction was beneficial

Once up and running, Alexa can perform a variety of your typical assistant features. It’ll set timers, tell you the time, set alarms, tell you what your day looks like from your connected calendar, tell you about your commute or the weather and answer questions about all sorts of things

Love having hands free while in the kitchen. Didn't think I'd like it as much as I do, use it all the time. Sometimes it doesn't understand a command such as "play polka music" but if you are more specific, naming the artist, it works. It does recognize generas, just not polkas LOL.

syncing issue, but once resolved alexa works fine! becareful not to say alexa or echo too loud if you don't want her to answer. make sure your question is clear. the response is immediate- it is amazing and freaky! now we really don't have to recall anything because we can ask alexa.

It is very easy to set up and I like the fact that the answers are given in real time.

Easy to use but would like more apps to use with looking food to connect to home devises

Me and my son love this thing and we use it all the time to turn the lights on and off in my house we have a lot of Phillips hue lights. The only thing I don't know why this thing will not change the color of them. But it will turn them on and off and set them at a low and high brightness

I own 3 of these. they work great. No complaints. Would buy again

Great assistant but does not know it all. Certain things you ask gets no response.

Good qualities , capable of answering 80% of all questions. Somewhat disappointed.

The Echo responds surprisingly well to my commands. Great for music on Prime and Pandora

We love our Alexa! Mainly used to set timers, alarms, and listening to music. We've had four months and no major complaints. Amazon updating new commands often! Only reason 4 stars is the ability to pick up voices. We have to be rather close for Alexa to respond to us. My 5 year old son literally has to be right next to her for Alexa to pick up in his commands. Other than that works great and fun!

This works great for voice control of my Samsung Smartthings for home automation.

Purchased the Echo for my wife as a birthday present from our kiddoes. Not only does she use it to add things to the grocery list, etc, the kids love asking all sorts of questions. Plus helps my son with his homework. Only drawback is if your playing music past level 8/10 sometimes it won't hear your wake up command. You'll have to press the wake up button on top. Overall we have all enjoyed it!

East to use and easy set up. Weather, basic questions and most any music on demand.

Many I do not know rather than features to search the web. Nice sound for a speaker

Husband has been wanting to make our home a “smart” home for some time now. This is our start. We have it turning off and on two of our lamps in the living room (we bought a special plug for that). We have it play music and we sometimes also play games with it, like Jeopardy. However, sometimes it does not recognize the words we say, as it says we are wrong when we answered it correctly.

Originally purchased the Echo for the novelty of it but now find it useful for many things. I have it connected to my Ecobee thermostat, LIFX smart lights and Harmony hub so I can control my A/C, lighting and TV. Can't wait for expanded integration to further enhance the experience.

Have to learn to talk to it properly, it can do things with WeMo better than reviewed.

understands all the different accents and you have all the info ready and available alway
