    The entire family uses Alexa daily!

    Lights, timers, grocery's, Alexa, Echo's voice service does it all and more. Voice recognition is amazing, from across the room, when music is playing it works. Built in speakers are very good (on a Bluetooth speaker level). Setup is easy with the free App. select what "skills" you want to activate to customize Echo to your home, (skills are Alexa's ability's). More and more integration into home automation weekly, Alexa already controls select lights, switches, thermostats, even integration with some cars (start car remotely, how many miles remain before refueling). What could be easier then using voice commands that work and simply asking questions to get information?

    When connected to SmartThings, Alexa works great. Alexa will hear you from rooms away. The only changes I would make are: 1) Make it portable 2) Better speaker quality 3) Alexa app needs improvement

    Enjoy quick fact checks like who was in this movie or how tall is Lebron James but wouldn't spend the money it costs myself. It was a gift. Maybe I haven't learned enough of the functions yet.

    We purchased the Echo to satisfy our curiousity, and for the novelty of having one. It was a great investment.
