    Just as advertised. Answers to questions only take a couple of seconds. Great thorough information is returned by Alexa! Looking to buy some echo Dots in the very near future!

    The Amazon Echo is a terrific tech addition. These devices work off your router and the vast variety of information and radio stations makes the Echo a versatile item to have.

    I love the voice response, it makes multitasking better! I could just say "Alexa, volume 10" it raises the volume all the way. The only bad thing is that it has to be connected to an outlet, so its not that portable and it is a bit heavy than expected. Other than that i love it

    Bought this to upgrade my Echo Dot. Definitely happy with my purchase due to the louder and clearer sound that comes from it. Much better for listening to music than the Dot.

    I had seen Alexa in action a few weeks ago and recently made this purchase. She has been a great addition to our family! My next move is to control other devices in the home.

    Still learning what to say to Alexa, but ever since we purchased the Amazon Echo, Amazon started sending me emails regularly to help us learn new phrases, which I appreciate.

    Good product overall. I used it mainly to control smart switches (WEMO), ecobee, in addition to all the other "smart things" you can do. Having an IFTTT account is definitely helpful and compatible with certain products. Not compatible with Chamberlin MyQ Garage wifi opener.

    The Amazon Echo is a fast-responding, voice-activated interface. It is a great personal assistant for some of the basics at home like managing a calendar, shopping lists, and trivia.

    Alexa is good for basic needs, weather, timer, streaming, but lacks the ability for proper search abilities like google. Also, the ability to stream books needs work.

    Love my echo, we mostly use it for news briefs and music with amazon unlimited. Bought this for my relatives as a birthday gift. I'm sure they will love it as much as we do!

    Gave this as a gift to my sisters family. They love it. My brother in law isn't a computer user so he loves just being able to ask questions instead of having to "google" things.

    Works great. Sometimes voice recognition spotty especially depending on who is talking. Key is figuring out how to integrate it with what you need or else you forget to use it

    Have enjoyed it since we set it up the first night. Kids love to ask random questions every morning and the jokes are actually funny.
