    This is a great addition to our home. We use Alexa daily. We were concerned about setup and use because we are late 60s. But no sweat. Easy to use for music and lots of information. Learning more each day.

I add new skills from the Alexa app and they work good and will buy some Wemo outlets and Hues to add controls for my lighting in the house. It can only get better as new Gens of this product come out.

    Bought this with the intent for using it mostly for music, and now we use it to get news updates, weather, and the occasional joke. Kids love playing with it too, so it is nice to have the mute button.

    This is one of the coolest things I own. With the 3.99 music unlimited plan I can request any song or album plus all of the wiki and current news/weather features. New content and features are added daily.

    I received the echo dot for Christmas and I love it! So when my nephew put the echo on his list of gifts for graduation I knew I had to get it for him. He loves it so much it makes me want to get one.

    Alexa is my best friend. She helps with shopping lists, keeps my calendar current and is always there to set a timer. She helps me change channels, plays my music. I really cannot live without her.

    I love the Echo. Good speakers, great reminder and note taker. While listening to the radio while cooking dinner I also use it for a timer. It sits on my counter, taking up very little room. Love it!

    This Echo was great when we first purchased. It was fairly easy to set up but we had some issues connecting to our wi-fi. It took several times before it would connect properly. It is a little bulky as compared to the new units, but it was as advertised.

    This thing is awesome! I got to replace a Bose docking station I had in the garage and I couldn't be happier with it. In order to get full use of everything it can do I would recommend getting Amazon Prime.

    The best thing about the echo is the sound quality. Too many times Alexa doesn't have the answer to your question. Too many skills required to make Alexa useful. I like to use it as a radio. Will play most radio stations across the country.

    I don't give anything 5 stars...nothing is or will remain perfect. I got one for a birthday in 2015. It was easy to set up and works like a charm. This last Christmas I bought an Echo and a Dot for gifts. I set them up for them and they love them. I like Amazon products... we own 3 kindles as well.

    OK, I bought this with high expectations after watching the commercials. I thought it's going to be better than Siri, but no. It can react or answer some of your calls very well, but it's very limited. Now I use it to play prime musics only.

    I can't tell you how much enjoyment I have received from just listening to the music , and meditation program. Once you understand all of the functions, it is wonderful, most of all if you are housebound.

    The full size echo has better sound than the dot

    But I don't know if it is worth the additional money. And it does not allow for aux output. I have the full size in my bathroom were I do not have other speakers. I use the dot with my sound system.

    Bought for my wife. She seems to love it. Links to Internet and phone very easy. Easily understands voices from multiple people with different accents. Turns kitchen into an instant dance floor during cooking.

    Alexa makes this worth it. AI is intelligent and does get smarter as you talk to it. She has some jokes too. This works even better with a Prime membership. I gave it 4 stars because I wasn't fond of the tube. I can see myself knocking it down. The sound wasn't full or rich enough for me compared to Bose.

    I bought it for my wife to use mainly for news, music around the house. I have not tried the other automation features. I was expecting a little better audio sound but it s ok. Again I am using it at about 30% of capability, hence review is incomplete. But enough to give it a 4-star.
