    Still learning all the things it can do but solo it is a nice quick answer system and music player. I now have mine hooked to HUE lights, Honeywell Thermostat, and a Belkin outlet with a heater. Nice to have Alexa turn on my kitchen lights when I'm running in groceries.

    The Echo is incredible. It gives you instant responses to questions that You ask. It is easy to pair with your phone and Internet. It has many unique features such as pairing with your lights and thermostat in your house if you purchase those specific pairing devices.

    The Echo is ok, it's a decent speaker and I like that it has a Bluetooth so I can listen to music off my phone. But there is more that I don't like then I like. For example, to play music off spottily you must have a perineum account ($10 a month). I heart radio will play only the last station it had on, not sure yet but can't change station with just voice. Most of "skills" are done poorly, for example my Honeywell thermostat, you can't ask it to tell you the temp, turn on, turn off. Only thing that can be done, is to ask it to raise or drop the temperature. At this time it will not control my wifi sprinkler system "orbit Bhyve". You don't always get an answer to questions as it uses Bing as a search engine, which I'm not a big fan of . Tried to buy wifi light switches so I can have it controlling that, but after purchasing the Wemo switch I found out that all the switches in my house are 2 way switches, so that did not work. So basically it's just ok, and maybe in few years it will be better, but over all like I said there is more that I don't like about it.

    Have this device set up in my kitchen area. I use it to control my back porch lights, play music through bluetooth, keep a timer when grilling, etc. Very versatile device that allows you to do something cool things when paired with wifi plugs and other things.

    I'm not sure who needs more experience...Alexa or me. After one month, The Echo has been a little fickle. At times it's providing excellent service in answering questions, and there's other times that it doesn't understand the question. Maybe it's how we're are asking or it's not programmed to be intelligent enough. More time will tell. All in All, we're having fun with Alexa.

    I absolutely love my Echo! I have Alexa play my favorite must while I'm home. She keeps me informed and helps me remember things that pop into my head as I'm working around the house. I look forward to trying new skills when I discover them. Love this product!

    I absolutely love my Amazon Echo. I purchased the Echo Dot for a second room!! I love to play "old school" music and it has found some really fantastic music. Very helpful in answering most questions. I have so much more I am planning to do once I learn more!

    BestBuy had this Echo for sale at half it's regular price. We bought one and are having all kinds of interesting fun. Imagine when your hands are full and you say "Alexa, set timer". Not to mention all the other requests that may come up. Use you imagination.

    Product works well but you have to put in all the product knowledge yourself and put the things you want it to know . I thought it did all of that by itself . But there are thousands of things you can enable for it to do. And it's very sensitive when your speaking to it and also will come on by itself from the TV. Not an expert yet and maybe those settings can be adjusted

    My Alexa is so awesome. While cleaning the house it's so easy just to say Alexa play… Without having to stop and search for the song in your playlist or choose and pick which songs you want. My housework can get done so much quicker now and is much more enjoyable.

    I really like my new Echo, which I received for Christmas. Love the fact that you can get the weather report, news, add items to your grocery list and listen to various music. You can find answers to questions without having to google it. I like it better than Siri.
