    The Echo is a cool little device. Great for playing music from Pandora or Amazon. A fun way to access the internet. Finding more uses for it daily! Would make a great gift.

    Got both Echo and Dot. About 5 times a day I loose connectivity. Worked with tech support 3 times. Now, they suggest I have to adjust Motorola router settings to make the router compatible. More time!.

    The Amazon Echo allows you to add several skills with multiple purposes. Have had a few issues with loss of power and it not turning on but after leaving it unplugged for a day seems to fix the issue. Great tool to build a tech connected home.

    Amazon's "Alexa" program is surprisingly intuitive (and the microphone can hear me from across the house). This product worked a lot better than I initially expected it to.

    My daughter has had an Echo for sometime now and I have always wanted one. I was, however, really surprised when I received one of my very own from my Son for Christmas.

    Cool little gadget.. can say what I want to ask and for the most part responds correctly... every now and then though it starts talking without even asking it something.

    I absolutely love Alexa, she can now play from my iTunes library when connected to my phone via Bluetooth. She is remarkable and I would choose Alexa over google voice.

    I have had an echo for a couple of years and absolutely love it, so when I saw them on sale, I decided to buy one for my classroom. They are well worth the price!

    The Echo was on sale for $99 (marked down from $179) so I decided to buy it. I have the Google My Home but Alexa is better. It has 18000 words in its vocabulary.

    This is my first "smart" product, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I'm still learning everything that it can do. So far, so good, but I have noticed a few glitches. Overall, I really like it. I can't wait to set it up with some home automation.

    I bought this for my 79 year old mother. It works great and provides some info as well as entertainment. I wish it could dial her iPhone for her. Maybe next version...

    Great sounding speaker and microphones seems to work well. Good options for playing music as well as easy to set up. Wish there were better connection with iPhone so it is easier to request and play songs from iTunes as well as to make calls from phone.

    So far the Amazon Echo has been great especially at the discounted price. I'm still trying things with the Echo and I also have the Google Home and so far I'm giving the edge to the Amazon Echo as it looks like they have a head start on features.

    Easily to set up. Second Amazon Echo for the house. Only drawback is speaking too loud causing a response from the first Echo and an Echo Dot we have in the home.
