Customer Ratings & Reviews

For me, it is only great for playing english-language music. I may try to connect to light switches and socketsss through something like nest, but until then, answering questions about history and societyit fails.

this was given as a gift and recipient happy with it.

Serves it's purpose. Pretty neat features, I like it.

It's ok but not sure it's worth it chance of misorder

I feel like it plays the same playlist every time.

Should come capable of doing more out of the box!!

Had to spend 2 hours on line to make it work on line.

Alexa can do basic things, hard to find tune skills

Good just complicated too many apps to download...

This device plays on the fact that you must subscribe to their stuff or this is just a empty cylinder that tells you the weather and that's it. And even then there is a subscription required for everything. Google Home at least plays general music lists and a number of other key actions.

Thought we'd have tons of fun with Alexa; found that had to stretch to use it productively. Maybe that's why Amazon puts out a steady stream of "Here's what's new with Alexa" emails, a lot of them revolving around buying more stuff from Amazon.

My wife bought one at Best Buy. I had to go back and get her $40 dollars when the price went from $179 to $139. I decided I would get her one -- but they were out of stock. I ordered one thru Amazon --- but it still hasnt gotten here.

Doesn't answer as many questions as led to believe should have google instead of Bing a simple alarm clock is all I use it for not much good for anything else would have returned it but I like gadgets . Don't recommend purchasing

It works for a day then stops responding (spinning blue led, no Alexa response). After a power reset it will start responding again.

Not very functional and never had all the answers I needed. And I wanted a device I could make phone calls to anyone with in which the Google home does. We purchased the Google home and we are so glad we did.

I was hoping for a 'google' experience, but it isn't there yet. There is a lot of questions that it can't answer. I hope, and expect it to get better. The music player is a nice feature that I use frequently.

Bought this item with high expectations of its capabilities. It would be extremely lenghty to supply full details, let me just say that technology is not there yet with AI devices like this....

I think Ok Google can do the same or more. I found annoying by saying Amazon or other echo names repeatedly to get some answers if you get them. May be in future I may try when it is more practical

I returned this to the store cuz I realised I didn't need music or lighting control. I replaced it with the echo dot. Disappointed because didn't know I needed wifi which I don't have.

Not sure what all the hype is about, this AI is remedial at best. It responds with the exact same answer to vastly different questions. Not intuitive at all. Save your money.
