    I was looking for a Bluetooth speaker to use to play Amazon Music, and this product allows to to listen to music and do so much more. If you have an Amazon Prime account you'll enjoy this product.

    In process of comparing the Amazon Echo to the Google Home. So far the Echo has a leg up as it plays music that I get "free" from my Amazon Prime membership - would recommend this product to others

    So far we like this. We've not really had a lot of luck with linking to both of our phones. I really like the grocery shopping and to do list features. VERY helpful. I'm sure there is a lot more it will do that we will figure out in time.

    Easy to set up and use. It's a wonderful electronic device! With Amazon Prime and/or Pandera, it gives you voice control over a huge music library. In addition to music offerings, Alexa is very entertaining!

    Better than Google Home

    Alexa is the easy winner in every regard compared to Google Home. Echo can operate as a Bluetooth speaker, Home requires you stream their apps. Apple Music on Home, no sir. Audible on Home, also no.

    So far it is working well, it does answer some questions, but not as far advanced as your I Phone does yet, however I have confidence that the Echo will be be continually learning as Amazon upgrades it.

    We are still getting used to remembering to use Echo. There are plenty of applications that we have yet to try! I love that Alexa plays music for my every mood! We're adding a second one upstairs!

    I love this thing. It gets used all the time in our house. It is so versatile and has so many possible connections. Only thing is, be prepared to spend more money on other things to pair with it.

    The product is great once you download everything you need. I found it a little challenging taking it from place to place. It must connect to Wi-Fi to work and be loaded with the music you want to hear. It's great for your favorite spot in your home or office, then download songs, and don't move it.

    I utilize my Echo every morning as I get ready for work. Alexa helps me decide what to wear with weather updates, which is the best route to take to work and all the while playing my fav tunes.

    Since I am more of an Apple Buckie, I wish this had more integration to my iTunes Library. I use it with my LifeX lights, get the news and weather. Not sure I would buy it again, but if you are a Google Buckie then it would be a great toy
