    The Echo and Amazon Prime make for the perfect combo. Using this for parent in a rehab facility who can't see very well after a stroke. The voice commands work great only challenge is the connection to the facilities wifi. At home it would be no problem at all.

    Works for most things it is advertised for. Weather, music, daily update, ordering, or my kid's favorite, "Alexa, tell me a joke". I wish it was at least decent with responding to general search questions, this is where it really seems to lack. I get a response to about 20%-30% of the things I ask. Will see if one of the other devices on the market can do this better.

    I have not been able to get alexa to answer most questions and it is difficult to figure out how to delete your prior questions.... I think it is more of a novelty and good for playing music, but if you think you will be getting great info, your online web search is far better, this is very basic.

    Alexa is great when asking about the weather, or when wanting to play some music quickly. However, majority of the questions I ask it cannot find. I think that the questions are pretty simple too. She will answer questions with direct answers like "whats 2+2" but if you go much further she wont respond.

    I had my first Echo for about a year before taking it out the box. I set it up in my bedroom and it is a nice additional to all the other electronics I have. I purchase a second Echo for my living room area as an entertainment device to play games.

    Still learning all that the Amazon Echo can do. Keeps my calendar, my to do list, and entertains me. She helps with my budget with You Need a Budget and much more with all the available apps. Love the Amazon Echo. Can't wait to find out all she can do.

    Just got my Echo... love the voice commands. Slight learning curve with the different commands. App to set up process takes time to set up different music, weather, local news, traffic, etc. Time consuming but once everything is set up, works great.

    Alexa is entertaining for music, questions etc. I was hoping for something more advanced, like being able to reminder for an appointment 15min before the appt. is schedule. You can set a reminder for 15 minutes....but only from the time you ask alexa...good for cooking but not much else

    The Echo has the best integration in to Amazon for shopping purposes. It also some excellent integration with other smart devices such has Logitech Harmony and Smart Things. However, it is not quite as intuitive as the Google Home device or able to answer as many questions. So, overall, good for home automation. Not so much for asking general questions.
