    alexa is awesome. So many things she can do. Set alarms, shopping lists, answer questions, change the temperature of my home! I can't wait to add light controls to the many things she can do. She is the first step to making my home a smart home!

    Absolutely love my Echo. In fact, this is our second one...for our second home. Whether you need/want the weather, music, news updates or just have a random question, Echo is the answer. Already have bought two additional Echo's for Christmas gifts.

    Bought just for fun during a special sale and we love it! Bought the Echo Dot too. Easy to set up and use. Love it for bedtime to get music or sounds to fall asleep. Timer is great and alarm feature is very helpful as a back up to my phone.

    We have had fun with asking Alexa random questions that she readily answers in addition to enjoying the various stations and music lists available to us. I'm sure we will never exhaust Echo's abilities as it does a lot and we're sure enjoying it.

    Gotta love the character that Echo's Alexa has. She can be snarky from time to time depending on what you ask her. There are a bunch of connectivity features for home automation I have not even been able to touch, yet...I use it for free music streaming by telling her to play a certain genre of music. It's fun to have around! Lots of commands to try out... :)

    Love my Alexia! Best buy this year! Love the freedom of requesting music verbally and increasing or decreasing the loudness. The kids love asking her questions and I really like getting the weather and not having to wait on the TV for the news.

    Love this product, and Alexa has become a good friend. I didn't think I would use this device that much, but I was wrong. From the time I get up for work to the time I turn in for the night, I can always think of something interesting to ask Alexa!

    Could answer weather questions but struggled to answer anything else. Bought it for my father who is blind. Bing search engine terrible.
