    This is a good device. I initially bought the google home. I was very dissatisfied with it. I returned it and bought Amazon Echo. I am happy with it. I have had some difficulty a few times getting it to recognize my voice, but it is a very good unit. I am still learning what all it can do.

    I got the ECHO DOT also. I compared them both and decided to keep the DOT. They are the same except for the speakers and the price. I would still highly recommend the ECHO. It's a personal choice.

    This is my favorite piece of technology in my home right now. I love how it connects to my phone, plays music,look up locations, track my workout and find recipes. Plus, it constantly updates.

    First let me say we love out echos. As a family this is our " dance party" speaker. DJ (Alexa) takes requests. With more and more updates to this product it has great potential. My only wish is that it were more intuitive for non high tech. Over time I guess. We love. Bought 2.

    ECHO (ALEXA) is a nice bluetooth/wifi speaker that is portable and can give you information when you ask it questions. Can Sync with your phone via using the Amazon Alexa app. Speak it in the AIR

    Bought this for my adult son who is confined to a bed due to MS. His caregivers can ask Alexa to play Pearl Jam music and its there. This is the second one we have plus we also have the Dot.

    Since I bought my Echo I have bought 3 others as gifts and at least 10 other people that I showed mine to went and bought one as well. This is a real look into the future of information and control

    I really love the Amazon Echo. One of it's great hidden features is that it can read any of your Kindle books to you. I plan on using it with my TV once I purchase the Harmony device by Logitech.

    This is a fun and helpful device. Alexa can answer almost anything you ask her; if she can't - reword your question and try again. I use her for weather, sports, music, mileage, and much more.

    The white echo is nice-looking and subtle on the countertop. The sound quality is the best feature. Basic voice commands are best: is it raining?, other commands need effort: what are cumulus clouds? 'Sorry I don't know that'.

    I purchased for my husband but Alexa is part of the family now. She can play anything off the internet and can interact with us if we have any questions but the best part is her "yo momma" jokes!

    4stars bc the voice recognition needs improvement! Other than that, it's amazing! We use it for music, news, and my children use it for educational purposes, but my son figured out the music very quick! Only had it for about a week now, so I'm sure we'll figure out more as we go along!!!

    The Amazon Echo is very useful. We have it placed in our kitchen where we can ask Alexa to set a timer, play music or tell us a joke. The kids love asking Alexa questions as well. The only gripe I have of the Echo sometimes doesn't understand what we are asking or can't find the answer.

    As the community grows and more skills are added, this will have added value as time goes on. At this time, we see that companies like Nest, Ford, (well the list goes on) have developed a strong backing in this product. This won't be a fad, but a device we will have in all of our homes.

    I've not yet learned - or taught - Alexa but it does perform a few functions that saves time or adds interest to my life. If there is a link to the skills or learning, I missed it. I think it could totally rock if that were available. I'm quite sure I'm not using it to its full capacity.

    Makes life easier. I have several smart home products including nest devices and hue lights. Alexa lets me control them all with my voice. And I don't even have to shout. Even if across the room.

    I was excited to purchase the Amazon Echo, but when I thought that I could carry it out on the beach I was a little disappointed. If it had the capabilities to have a battery life to use without being plugged up it would be excellent.
