    In the past I used Google for information that I needed, but now I just ask Alexa! It's more versatile than Siri and it's ready to go just my saying her name. Yes, it's a little bit of a toy, but then what electronics aren't?

    I didn't know much about the dot/echo but when a friend showed it to me, it seemed like a great gift for my husband who is hard to buy for. It's something you could live without but once you have it, you're so glad you do!

    Alexa is pretty fun. I feel as though with updates and more" skills" to come in the future she will be even more helpful. As an actual speaker or sound system it's just ok. You don't really get the deep rich tones that you would with a larger higher quality system, but for like $80 Echo and Alexa is a good deal.

    We all love the Echo. My son loves getting weather, music and jokes and we are starting to set up the house for remote control through the device. Very helpful device. Can't wait to have more of the house connected.

    I NEEDED this as part of my SmartThings home automation system. I was waiting for a sale and got this when it was $50 off. It does everything that the manual said that it will do, works great. A bonus is that, alongst with using it to control my automation, I can also use it as a bluetooth speaker. And it sounds great.

    The Echo works really well for us. We stream music on it almost every day and my wife loves it. We weren't big Amazon users in the past so we don't use all of its functions but they just added a function that links it to our family calendar app and now we can add items to our grocery list just by asking Alexa.

    A perfect gift for family members is getting them an Alexa and providing them the opportunity to enjoy and benefit from all the functionality Alexa provides. This was a big hit for our oldest son and his wife and family!

    Once you can figure out all the apps you can connect to the echo for entertainment you'll be set. But it wouldnt just play a song if you asked Alexa to play a song, she would say something like: it's not in your playlist, you need to update your Amazon acct or something to that extent. But...very entertaining...

    I am really enjoying my Amazon Echo!! It was very easy to set up and very easy to use (you just have to remember to say Alexa first). Showed it to my sister-in-law while she was visiting and now she wants to order one.

    I was one of the original Amazon Echo purchasers, and have loved using it ever since. I bought this one as a "thank you" gift for my wonderful brother-in-law, who baby-sat me through two cataract surgeries. He loves it too.
