    The idea is right but after few weeks, needs restarting else it doesn't respond properly. Compatible devices pairs properly. I used lifx bulbs but it couldn't control them with voice says no device found. Hopefully they will release a software update soon.

    The amazon echo is a combination fun, entertaining and helpful electronic product. Best Buy offered the echo at a great price and reasonable shipping rates. My next buy will be the mini version from the same store.

    Product works well but has more potential than is currently offered. A bit difficult to set up on households sharing a Prime membership. Lacks flexibility with your I tunes library unless you want to pay Amazon to access the songs you already own. Hopefully Amazon will get smarter. Highly recommend the product.

    I think the concept is modern & works well most of the time. We have had to pair it several times but that may be our internet service. The most frustrating think is when you have named the bulbs and say Alexa hallway light on/off she doesn't understand what you are saying and repeats something totally different.

    We use Alexa with our Hue system to control our lights. We never manually turn on our lights anymore-- "Alexa-- Family room on!" It's fantastics. It's great to ask questions and play music. Our family loves it.

    It's an excellent product but will occasionally misunderstand what seem to be clear commands. Know what you want to say to it before you do so... it doesn't like pauses in speech. It seems to integrate well with compatible devices... and I love being able to use it to adjust my room temperature and lighting from bed.

    Based on what everyone says about this item , I went out and bought it. And I must say , it's awesome. I use it constantly and it now controls the lights in my living room, as well as an item in my kitchen.

    One is adopting an animal to give it a good home - the other is buying an Alexa enable device like the ECHO. This marvel of tech is a must have that brings us one step closer to life on the USS Enterprise.

    ECHO is a pretty good product

    The Amazon Echo is a well-designed, well-built product. Within a defined set of parameters, it works pretty well and can be integrated with a number of home automation products to make it more useful. In practice though, it's vocabulary is limited and its 'AI' is pretty dumb, so don't expect too much.

    The Amazon Echo does everything for us from setting our thermostats to turning lights and tvs on and off. We recommend it to anyone looking for something that will help make your smart home products even smarter.

    we wanted to have echo to join our Alexa experience and also to help out with our grandchildren as they love soothing music as well as enjoy talking with Alexa. Love the design and white color of the unit.

    AMAZON ECHO

    Works great, provides you information about all of the things related to amazon more promptly. Drawbacks are cannot ask a follow up question, echo doesn't hear you properly when you are playing with more than average volume. There are lot many skills, I hope wait of 6 more months will be worth enough.

    I do like Alexa. When asked a question and knows the answer, it is pretty neat. The answer is immediate as well. There have been many times where it did not know the answer. Maybe it didn't understand the question. I am looking forward to start getting some of the home connections to see how that works.

    I have a few Amazon Echos and Echo Dots but there are a couple of spots in my house where the original black Echo looked out of place and the white Echo looks great. Works perfectly, just like the black version.

    Our echo has become indispensable in our house. Besides all of the questions we normally ask Alexa we also use it to turn on and off our lights through the Wink hub and stream music from Spotify. We love it!

    My 2nd Echo

    Decided to add another Echo to the household. With this purchase, I currently have 2 Echo's and 2 Dot's. Since this Echo price was $140, it swayed me to go this route instead of another Dot with a Bluetooth speaker. Now with the 'intercom' drop in feature, it expands our communication in the household.

    We bought this for our daughter for Christmas. Once she opened it and set it up, I decided that I needed one as well. She is married and they use it all of the time. Easy to use. I would highly recommend this product.

    There is nothing else I can say about this product except that it is an excellent gadget to have around the house. You want to hear music, have a question about the weather, Trivia, sports, etc. Just ask Alexa.
