    We like using the echo for quick answers and for playing mucic. The only reason that I didn't give it 5 stars is because while listening to music loudly, it cannot hear your voice to turn down or to stop playing. So you have to manually turn the volume down.

    Wasn't too sure if I wanted to buy the echo or the dot but after using this product I'm very happy that I went with the echo. I find myself using it all the time.

    I originally purchased the Google Home as a gift for my husband. He quickly was frustrated with Google Home as it didn't respond to what he was as asking. The Echo is much better equipped to answer questions and follow commands than its competitors.

    Second Alexa in our house and we love it. Don't need a radio anymore. She plays a whole CD or will scan through all the song of one particular artists or group.

    I'll admit that I sometimes think of this as the computer on "Star Trek" but I appreciate the wit of some of the responses. Like when I asked, "Alexa, did you miss me?"

    I have to admit, I have not used the Echo has much as I should. But anytime I use it I really like it. I simply forget to use it. What I do like is using the timer.

    Alexia was a great Christmas gift for my daughter. It does take a lot of experimentation to get Alexia to do specific tasks. Other tasks like time, weather, set an alarm are no more than basic voice commands. Would definitely recommend this product.

    Got this to use with my SmartThings home automation system. Use voice commands from the Echo to trigger automation. Much more convenient than getting your phone out and loading the SmartThings app. Sometimes it has a hard time understanding what I say.

    Still learning the uses for Echo, and it seems I will never fully understand as new uses are add almost daily via Amazon and the never ending apps that are added.
