Great for playing out music in the house. Not used for much else

I have found Alexa (echo) to be indispensable. I use her for my alarm clock. I play music to go to sleep at night using the sleep timer so the music shuts off by itself. And I use the weather skills several times a day. I just love this device.

Every day Alexa learns new skills. She sets the temperature on my Nest, waters my lawn, times my cooking, keeps my shopping list, etc. The only problem I have had is when I listen to Jeopardy and a woman contestant answers with "WHO IS ..." Alexa answers.

Although having an Amazon Prime membership adds to it's charm(Amazon Music), it's not a must have to enjoy all of Alexa's skills. Adults can enjoy music through Spotify and the daily briefings while the kids in particular enjoy her family friendly jokes. New skills are rolled out almost daily. I was glad that MS Outlook calendar is now an Alexa skill.

Echo is fun to play with, but doesn't understand a lot of questions and the "skills" don't work if you don't use the correct wording. The app needs some work bc you have to look through all of the skills to find the right questions, you can't just search the skills that are enabled. I'm sure that it will get better with time, but for now, it's fun to have around.

I love this device. It has a host of information but you must ask the question in the correct order. The music library is really good. The jokes can be a little corny like all jokes. The alarm feature is good and the look and styling is outstanding

I was a bit skeptical at first, but the reviews were right. The Echo is great piece of technology! I need to add more smart devices to fully appreciate the capabilities,but great for facts, music, news and weather. My kids love it and my wife too!

I have three of these. They're great. But for how far along this product is, there is still a lot it can't do. And some of the things it can do only function after a very specific command. That being said, there is a lot it CAN DO! Especially via third party apps. Yea, some of the skills are useless. But it is worth the money for a smart home purchase.

I really like this Amazon Tap. I use the 'Happy Hour' skill in my private bar room for mixing drinks and I the portability plus 8+ hour battery is great. I also use to stream my music from the Amazon Prime Music library. I would recommend this to anyone.

The person I gave it to for Christmas is really enjoying it alot .

Speaker system for music play is great. Very sensitive to her name "Alexa". Make sure to disable voice purchasing or place a code if she will be in a room with a television.. there are lots of commercials where her name is called. She will respond.

I gave echo as a housewarming gift. My friend loved it. She said alexa gives her so much if information. My friend loves to listen to any kind of music she wishes. Next she is going to try it to set timer for lights.

Echo is great for quick question and very entertaining for my son he is always coming up with questions for Alexa. The last thing I do before walking out the door every day is ; Alexa what is the weather and traffic today? Technology today gotta love it.

To me it's a little complicated you have to know the specific command for the device to work.

We absolutely love our Echo!! Not only do the adults enjoy it but so so the kids. The various reminders you can set are really cool! Not to mention you can keep track of your grocery list, have it tell you jokes, the weather and so much more.

Responsive to voice. Has good quality sound. Wish it was wireless!

I ordered the echo based upon online reviews and based on suggestions of friends. However, thus far, the only thing I ever use it for is to play music, which I could easily do with my other electronics. I am holding out hope that future updates make this more of a must have item.

Amazon Echo (aka Alexa) might be the best AI standalone device on the market (yes I know google Home is available now) because she connects to over 50% of my apps (as she has Hundreds of apps connected)...google Home is cool but Alexa is the OG lol

This is such a great product! I am learning new things to use my Alexa for each day! The games she plays are fun and I especially like how she connects to all of our smart devices to voice control them! Would definitely recommend this to anyone!

Love my Echo. My family couldn't have given me a greater gift.
