    Like all the features and voice recognition is very good. Although the product was setup for Berlin weather which makes me think this was a returned device and resold.

    My family love the amazon echo ! We use it all the time. The kids love to hear her tell jokes. Can't wait to add another one to have in another part of our house.

    I have one myself and I bought 2 more as Christmas gifts while they were on sale. Sometimes Alexa has a hard time giving you the answer. I guess I have to work on how I have to ask to get the correct response. Otherwise, I enjoy Alexa Echo.

    Was not sure of which was better, but went with the Echo. We are quite pleased and use it all the time. Still learning all the ins and outs, but it is very good.

    Really like the echo. This is my second one. I put this one in the kitchen. I got this one because of the size and needed one to be centrally located in my house.

    this item is pretty loud for it's size but the commands that you tell it have to be pretty specific. for example, when you tell her to play some music you have to be specific as to what station and that it's on pandora. not amazing but pretty cool

    Nice to play with, think they have to train themselves first because it seems like she doesn't know as much as we had hoped. Will update it I get her hooked to my smart tv or lights.

    Device does not stay connected to wifi, always disconnecting. This makes product unusable for alarms and timers. When used to work with harmony, at times, does not turn on all devices. Over priced and overrated. Purchased Google Home, for the past week, it has not lost contact with wifi, and works perfectly with harmony hub. Difficult setup with echo, even with 5-6 times with echo support, they can't figure it out. Wish I could return, not too late.

    Bought the Alexa as a Christmas gift family and co-workers. They all have raved about Alexa being their "best friend". Unfortunately, I didn't get one for myself.

    Amazon Alexa is the hottest new electronics product out there and for good reason. We are using it daily and haven't begun to tap its full potential applications.

    Amazon Echo is the bee's knees. You can talk to it and stuff and it talks back and does stuff for you. I use it mostly for playing music and making grocery lists.

    If I could give it a lower rating, I would.This is nothing more than a speaker, and a big one.It is NOT wireless so you cannot even take it outside w/o a power source. You cannot ask questions and have Alexa search answers. Very expensive. Would like to try google but since I cannot return this - I can't justify the price. Everyone said give it time to like Alexa. I gave it too much time and did not realize you had to return within a time frame (my bad).
