Customer Ratings & Reviews

One of my favorite speaker, I wish they bring it back but newer.

Great Servive Best Buy and the price match is great I used it both at best buy

This is useless. I have tried to calibrate it to my smart home. Pointless.

Product was damaged. Needs lot of improvement on the API's.

This product not good waste of money I would recommend it

Alexa is not able to answer more than basic querys

Music from this echo sound just as good as the newer ones. Its still in great condition and go strong

I'm returning it because a new version is coming i

Great price, bought it to work with home automation products but haven't purchased those yet, that's next. Couldn't pass up the price and had points as well. We bought one with multiple accessories for our son last Christmas and he likes using the automation products. Generally similar to asking Siri things in an iPhone question wise. I like being able to add things to a shopping list and view then on my phone at the store. Still get several 'I don't know's' so only 4 stars so far. Probably a learning curve on our part too. Also good for cooking and converting measurements quickly. Like being able to control music and volume from my phone also. Glad we got it, looking forward to adding the home automation products.

I've had my echo since the initial launch date and I love it more and more. Alexa does everything and she learns more and more every month. She controls my home (lights, thermostat and garage door) and with IFTTT she can do things like call my phone or email my shopping list (you can create your own triggers) Her possibilities are endless. She's also a very handy alarm... she wakes me up and when I saw goodbye she turns off the lights and turns down the thermos.

I got this to complete my home automation. and I use it to listen to radio and music. wish it is a bit cheaper.

I have this paired with my Samsung Smart Things, WEMO devices, Smart Light Bulbs (LIFX and Sengled). She is pretty witty and very fun to mess around with and understands you even with music or TV on at loud volumes. I love the features and can't wait for more compatible devices to come out.

Alexa is easy to setup and fun to operate, she can answer just about anything you need to know, it works best if you have Amazon Prime to stream all the free music. Be sure to find a remote, its crazy the jokes you can play on folks, and the Amazon Dot is next on my list, gonna connect it up to the surround system

The original Amazon Echo packs quite a bit into one cylinder. The sound is so much more than you'd expect, the voice recognition software is excellent, and there's so much it can do. I recommend using it with Amazon Prime to get the most out of the music. This also works well with Philips Hue lighting.

I just have to say this product is fun and very functional. I get up in the morning and I get news briefings from her, then I can play games, and music all through the day, I am able to leave messages for other family members who have the same product and they can answer me back. I'm loving it!

Wonderful product use it everyday very informative product answers most questions that you may have.

This is my new favorite device. While not perfect, it's a lot of un to use. One of the features I like the best is the timer functions. I can start a timer for various items, while cooking, and Alexa will remind me when the timer hits zero. The best part is that, through IFTT, I can trigger Alexa to call my phone, or send a notification, if I'm not in the same room as she is. I do the same for when I'm doing laundry. I no longer have to go back and check how much time is left on the washer and dryer. I can even have my Hue lights to blink when the timer has expired. Right now, I have Lutron, iDevices, and Hue Homekit devices in my house. Through the Skills for each of these companies, the Echo found all the devices, and I'm not able to control all of them using my voice. Really great device to own and play around with.

So this is now hooked up to the Hue Lights and makes things a bit easier. Down side is now want to hook-up the apple tv/roku/tv etc and looking for an easy way to connect all these. Sound is good. Easy to install quick to train

I bought this speaker for my nephew , he is 25 and he loved it. It is a great speaker. It can understand most commands. Sound quality is very good. I would have given it 5 stars if it had a rechargeable battery. It has to be plugged in all the time , no battery.
