    We have spotty radio reception so going through the internet is ideal. I could have done the same thing with a speaker for about the same price. However this is more versatile as I can send messages to others and make lists plus more features are being added all the time!!

    The kids just absolutely love this, they get to ask her questions or listen to jokes. I love to listen to the music when doing house work or even working outside. It is nice that you can turn the music up or down through Alexa instead of going to the device and turning it up or down.

    I love my Amazon Echo so much that I had to buy one for work too. Now all my friends want one. It entertains all ages from kids to adults. Helps with my book keeping, and keeps me up to date one the news. She has a sense of humor too! II can't wait to have Alex control my electronics.

    The Echo is awesome and fun. We use it to control TV,s Thermostats, Lights, and Stereo all with voice commands. Anyone using amazon prime will like the voice ordering. We find something new everyday that the echo will do.

    First of ALL is Alexa understand me well especially with my diction accent not like Siri, Google, Cortana and other. They are all confused due to my accent but not Alexa. It answers all of my questions and inquiry in anything. Actually we now have 2 of this Amazon Echo, Home and Work.

    Alexa makes it easy to add a soundtrack to your life. Just tell her what to play as you prepare dinner and then change it for your romantic meal; no need to stop what you are doing. She will even give you equivalents as you adapt a recipe, tell you a joke, or read an audiobook.

    We were curious about the Echo for a while, but not entirely sure how it was supposed to complement the household. Now, we know! In ways that didn't even dawn on us initially, Echo and "Alexis" have become a steadfast companion and assistant at the house. I'd highly recommend it!

    This is my fourth Echo device and me and my family are loving it. We use it many times in a day for various things like weather, time, controlling lights and other appliances. New feature of Music grouping makes it even better for filling your entire house with music.

    I debated on getting Alexa for a while now and I'm actually sad that I did, this is a fun tool to have. I love being able to access Sirius XM on it in the mornings. It's easy to set-up and takes maybe 5 minutes. Must have if you are creating a smart house, which I am.

    My kids love this item. So many things u can do with it. They ask it just about anything and it knows the answer. They set it to their favorite music. Around Christmas we just said play Christmas music and it played a variety of the best songs for as long as we wanted it to.
