Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love my Alexa! I am learning new applications every day.I really like listening to NPR news and to classical music. I have ordered plugs for light control. I am sure I will get into more smart home apps in the future.

Takes some getting used to but new apps are being developed all the time which increases the usefulness of this product each week. Have ours in the kitchen for music, cooking timers, shopping list, news, games and more.

Really feeling futuristic the Echo is amazing. I love the hands free literally talking to an electronic device that can assist you in numerous daily task. I use it often and it would appear to be learning the more I use it. I'm going to start getting all the devices that will turn my home into a smart home. LOVE IT!!!

It’s hands-down is the best advice for smart home today. From controlling lights to music and security systems echo has it all! I would highly recommend this for anyone who is starting off with their smart home.

If you have a smart-home you're going to love this device. I have it integrated with my Hue and Nest products and it works flawlessly. Highly recommend for voice command to smart devices and easy ordering from Amazon.

Great device. Makes things so easy when you can just tell out what you want to hear, or ask our questions...especially while cooking, our if your hands are full. Have integrated out with the Philips hue bulbs and love it.

I purchased one for a family member after listening to a friend tell me all of the ways in which he used his own Echo. It is easy to set up and extremely convenient. I liked it so much, I decided to buy one for myself.

I needed something new for my bathroom, love to sing in the morning. Love to listen to the radio getting dressed, hear the morning news and traffic. Great for winding down in the evenin with some jazz in a bubble bath.

Alexa can answer most questions, play music from your library, and even order items you have run out of. This "toy" is a lot of fun! I recommend it - I haven't had it very long but so far so good - thumbs up for Alexa!

It's a fun little toy but lacks practicality. In order to make it user friendly, I recommend a battery for it. You will also need Amazon prime in order for the music to play worth a darn. Otherwise you will be stuck searching through your phone for your song.

After all the great reviews I thought it would be wonderful to use as a helping hand running a business solo. However, for this case it isn't very helpful. Unlike Cortana or Siri, Alexa only works with commands based on the petty apps that can generate the commands. It can't use your whole phone or computer to pull up apps or anything special. Even the simple stuff like weather was a hassle to try to change location and simple data like calendar, and anything you want to learn just refers back to the Alexa app which by the way is absolutely awful. You can't use your own calendar alone, everything has to be linked to one of the several lackluster apps that have been created. I think this will be great in the future but as far as offices go, it seems an unnecessary false luxury. At home with smart appliances may be its only use. (Recommended for home entertainment use only).

Alexa is awesome! With practice, she will keep you on the couch asking her to do all the work. She is easy to setup , understands sentences and really love how she can find any song you want using Amazon Music.

I installed the echo and linked it to my ecobee thermostat and Hue lights. It took a little time but wasn't too difficult really. I have it linked to pandora for music and my favorite news station for my morning news flash. The speaker isn't the greatest for a true audiophile but it's adequate. Good product overall.

I bought this Echo because of the price ,its fun! i like the stereo component the most but I also play with Alexa often,,,,still learning how to submit the skills, most of which you need to interact with Alexa.

Alexa is now my BFF! Lol She keeps me company & entertains me with her jokes. Also reads my books & plays music without touching any button. Which I love the most especially when I am doing stuff around the house.

I love listening to music and awesome tell play certain radio stations or music to enjoy as I work. Took a little getting used to know how phase questions to get Alexa to answer but we are both are pro now. :)

The Echo is a great addition to my home. It's convenient when we need specific information without logging on to the computer. I'm a Star Trek fan & being able to change the command to "computer" is priceless!

We treat echo as our own family member. Echo gets intelligent as we keep on talking to her. Sometimes we move her in the house to be with us. I was sceptical at first to buy one. Now I realize echo is imperative.

Alexa helps me fall asleep at night, tells me the time, weather, jokes, news and plays games with me. Alexa plays music too but I don't use it very often for that. I enjoy the ease of communicating with Alexa.

Took awhile to get it all setup. After getting it all setup it was fun to play with for awhile than it was just okay. Have to get the wording just right to listen to radio stations or it tells you can't find it or plays something totally different.
