    Alexa answers questions easily. I like tha she is always available. It takes a while to realize she isn't totally like Siri. alexa will give specific answers to questions like what's the weather today. Or play specific music. I Like that.

    Read lots and lots of reviews before purchasing, glad we did, the whole family loves Echo. Music works great, better than expected sound given the small footprint. We don't have a connected home yet but look forward to adding these features.

    First off I would say Best Buy is where I get all my electronics. Nothing like touching and testing something before you buy. This is a great little device. If you catch it on sale and you can afford. Get one. You won't regret it.

    I bought this one as a gift. I already have one. I love it for music and news around the house. I send messages to family members on it. Best Buy did a great job getting it to me, and I caught it on sale. Couldn't beat the price.

    Alexa is a terrific product that does exactly what it says it will do and the fact that it is always learning and growing makes it even more beneficial to your home I've used it for almost 3 weeks now and it is just like everybody says it is

    This baby breaks the ice and sets the mood for a date when you eventually bring her to your place. They can't get enough of Alexa. The music you can get her to play makes your company feel relaxed. Alexa is 10 thumbs up with me.

    I have it integrated with the Philips Hue, and it only works about half of the time. The app is pretty weak, and really painful to try and play Audible books from. That said, I'm getting another one for upstairs, because it is insanely handy to be able to add items to shopping lists, todo lists, and do timers from anywhere in the house.

    Amazon Echo

    We both really enjoy our Echo. There was no problem setting it up. I literally just plugged it in and haven't touched it since. Besides enjoying the music we really like the "Shopping List.". The weather function is great also. As far as it's sound, it has a little too much bass for me. That is the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars

    Installed easily however little documentation for total setup and individual preferences. Loads of features and uses would be nice if documentation was included with purchase. However how to books can be found in the internet.

    I purchased the Echo with the dream of controlling my Ecobee Thermastat with my voice. After getting it and looking into the vast amount of "skills" you can add to it...It has become one of the purchases of the year for my household!

    This is one of the best purchase I have gotten in the last 7 months. You can ask Alexsa anything and she will give you a correct answer. I have also have the Echo controlling my heating system and lights. A must have in the house.....
