    Every household should have one of these! It is great for music...does so much more. I am in process of making my home "smart" and it works lots of the smart home devices (all that I have purchased so far!) Must have in any family!

    Great overall unit, but not perfect

    I find the overall function of the system to be good. The Far-Field feature works well. The one thing I find to be weak is the speaker. The sound during play back of music is not crisp nor clean. You could purchase the Dot and connect it to another speaker for better sound...save some money on the unit this way as well.

    For its size the speaker can still fill a pretty good sized room. We are really impressed with the sound quality. It's really cool how it can answer questions and shop for you. I also have it integrated with my Control4 system.

    Easy installation and easy to use. I use it for timers, music, weather, information and am anxious to try using more features in the near future as I have had it only about 3 weeks. I can't imagine not having it anymore.

    Got this for my living room for my kids to interact with. They love asking Alexa questions and the price was great for what it does. Also have a few Dots and hoping to be able to join all speakers as one in the future

    A must have for music lovers. Alexa has enabled me to play Amazon prime music as well as Pandora, etc. I love the hands free operation. I am learning how to use Alexa to find out information and other new things. LOVE it.......

    We use this as a hands free speaker in the kitchen. It is great for using Pandora and Amazon music. The only downfall to this product is that to take advantage of the many "skills" Alexa can do, you must memorize the specific prompt words for that particular skill. Besides that, it is great and I recommend buying one!

    I have grown to depend on my Amazon Echo for streaming radio stations, local as well as outside my home turf, and it never fails. It's capable of much more than that, but for now, it's great!

    Amazon echo is an amazing device, and turns my house into a smart home as I use my voice for various commands like switching on lights, controlling window blinds, just to name a few. Buying this device is a no brainer!

    Amazon - Echo - Black has come a long way from its roots as an online bookseller. Looking to branch into the Internet of Things the company released the Echo -- an internet-connected speaker that acts as a personal assistant.
