    The Echo has been great so far. I love to play Jeopardy on it. It was easy and fun to find kids music when my nieces were over and holiday music when we wanted to get in the spirit. I wish it could answer more questions and it struggles to find the weather for my house which is located in a decent size city.

    Alexa what's the weather like today? Alexa what is 256 times 122? Alexis play soft rock. You ask, and the unit goes to the web and gets you the answer or in one case the music. What more needs to be said?

    Absolutely love my Alexa but I am still figuring it out. I purchased it majority for listening to music & I love that. I ask questions & her response is I'm not sure or I don't know sounds yet. I know she can do more but I'm lost right now.

    My wife and I really like this device. We also bought the smaller version to put in our bedroom to play music and nature sounds to go to sleep to. We don't really do a lot with the USB/BlueTooth yet though.

    Love that you can request music/info by voice command. Or add items to shopping lists via voice command or via app (when away from home)!! We already owned one, this purchase was for my son and daughter-in-law.

    We love our Amazon Echo and Alexa. We are still new to it and are learning it's capabilities. But so far we absolutely live it. I'm thinking we will enjoy it even more as we take advantage of more features.

    We own an Echo and purchased this one for my in-laws. We really love ours. My in-laws love theirs as well. Easy to setup and use. Amazon is constantly adding capabilities. It is a great gift for a great price.

    I liked the sound quality coming out of the Echo. I ended up returning this for an Echo Dot. The Dot is 1/3rd of the price and for my townhouse, I don't need a high powered speaker. Alexa is great to use, no matter what Echo device you have.

    Bought to use with harmony hub to control tv and it does! Also very handy for things you used to have to look up on the internet - for example in the morning Alexa what is he weather forecast for today?

    I purchased these to give to customer who hit a specific goal, and the competition was fierce - so fierce, in fact, that I decided to award TWO of them to the top two customers who both achieved the goal.

    I love my Alexa product! I ask it to play many genres of music and never cease to be amazed at the selection it plays. I also have it connected to lamps in my house and can ask it to turn them on and off.

    An excellent voice activated hands free device. I use for steaming music, sleep machine, blue tooth speakers, alarm clock, and timer. It has so many uses. Looking forward to finding more that it can do.

    Purchased the Echo as a bridal shower gift. My niece and her fiancé are still learning about all it can do but already reported back to me that they love it. I was told it is the most favorite gift they received.

    We have one at home to we thought it would be fun to have at the office to place music. However you can only stream 1 Alexa per music account which is annoying. They should have a subscription package like Netflix that allows more then one device to stream for a higher cost per month if needed.

    Wished it integrated with Google Play Music. Torn betwee Google Home and Echo because of this. But if you have wemo smart home like us. It works really well. Half our switches and plugs are wemo controlled. "Alexa turn off all lights." Really works! Google Home currently doesn't support Wemo.

    Didn't know if the Echo would fit in. Takes a little bit to remember to use it but now we use the Echo many times a day. Even bought one for the bedroom and planning to grt a Dot for the kitchen.

    Didn't know how many lingering questions I had until I got an Amazon Echo. I mean, every little thing I want to know, I now just ask and hope Alexa knows. Very helpful to just get a quick answer to most things.

    Alexa works better than expected. Recognizes commands but wish it would make an audible nosise whether or not it is able to perform a function. Sometimes it just dead silence. The app can use more features like more favorites mappable locations than just to "work". Overall, not bad for being its first model.

    I love Alexa! She is so helpful to have in my everyday life, and so entertaining too. And I love her smart home connections; I can control my smart home with my voice through her. My only complaint is that you can't give her two commands at once, but it's easy enough to separate the commands.
