    Having fun with Alexa

    Generally Alexa is spot on when asked a question. Whether it's the weather, the time, my upcoming calendar events or most music. However, when asked to play classic oldies, I will usually get old country music. When asked about an actor in a tv series, she doesn't know the answer, even though I can find the answer on google. My grand kids love it for the corny jokes they get.

    We have been quite impressed with Alexa! We use her often, and my loves having her to entertain the kids. I do wish it were a bit easier to connect her to some of my devices (it was hard to connect her to two separate GE Air Conditioners, things just have to be set up in a very specific way, which wasn't always user friendly). But over all, we have been happy with this purchase!

    I waited too long to get the Amazon Echo. It's a perfect complement to my Sonos system and we got one for the kitchen n and another for the master bath. Connects to siriusXM and Pandora, reads me the news in the morning and frankly it's fun to have around!

    All in all it is a great product. However I find it limited by the need and expense for additional accessories. An example is you can call from it but only if the receiving person has a similar device. The sills are tricky to learn, but manageable. Some of the tasks that you ask her can be hard to get correct, it just takes some practice. All in all it is really cool.

    I was looking for a Bluetooth speaker and this was perfect. I think in order to get the full benefits its best to be a prime member so you can link your account and use prime music but also be able to utilize the tools like shopping list, checking past orders, etc. the only downside is it's not wireless. I know Amazon has made one that is wireless but I like the design of the echo.

    Haven't had that much experience with it yet but from what I've done so far, it's been great fun. Love that it can be linked to my home security system. Also, so grateful Geek Squad offers a free class on how to use it. I plan on signing up for that soon!

    While Alexa doesn't know all the answers to our questions she is surprisingly smart and is getting smarter. We haven't tapped into all her features yet choosing to savor each new discovery. We are very pleased and having a great time with our new family member.

    I already have an Amazon Echo Show which I love by the way and purchased the Amazon Echo for my mother that was facinated with mine but was afraid of the camera on the Echo Show "Black helicopters". She lives alone and the Echo will help entertain her.

    I bought my Echo to explore some new technology. When I walk in my house after getting off work I ask Alexa to play some music from my play list and there it goes. Alexa keeps me up to date on the weather, Emails me recipes, plays triva games and so much more.
