    I use my Echo everyday! When I want to listen to music or just one song it will play it. I use it for the kitchen a lot! When I want a kitchen timer it works perfect. We will get a group and play games with the Echo also. It is a great overall addition to a home.

    It would be beneficial to have amazon prime to give even more options. Very easy to use and set up was simple. The ability to add other Wifi devices is a great option. We use it to turn lights on, adjust our thermostat, play music, answer questions and so much more.

    I absolutely love Alexa. It's the best purchase that I've made in a long time. She's so handy and funny too! I love that I can ask her to play my music, ask for a recipe, ask about the weather all within the comfort of my couch!! I'd recommend this baby to everyone!

    This is the second unit placed in my home. You will be a little withdrawn at first but once you get answers from the unit, you will love it. I recommend you use the training to your voice when you first set the unit up. Do not hesitate to learn what the Echo can do.

    This was a birthday present and although a friend had talked to me about getting one I had no idea how great it would be to have one. It is easy to set up and we find ourselves asking Alexa questions that we would normally spend the extra time looking up online.

    Alexa is fun but sometimes she just starts spewing information when not spoken to. Have yet to use her for purchases --should be interesting.

    I love this Echo. I can get football schedules and scores in a matter of seconds! I also use it to stream my SiriusXM radio, play relaxing meditations and music, and play games. I even had it sing "Happy Birthday" to my mom. Definitely a great purchase.

    Was looking for a gift for someone who has everything. This fit the bill. It's fun as well as useful. My husband mostly uses it for news and weather updates and I use it for playing music and keeping up with my shopping and to-do lists but it can do much more.

    Alexa helps so much any questions answered turn off and on lights. I have an echo in every room your favorite stations artist songs all by asking Alexa. Ask for news, weather, alerts, notifications and anything you want. Alexa is part of the family now.

    I have not figured out the full potential of this device. The sound quality is surprisingly nice for the size of the machine. If you order home products from Amazon on a regular basis, then this is the toy for you. All you have to do is say Alexa order laundry detergent. Boom, it is done and on its way to your house. So becareful when you are telling Alexa to order stuff.

    This is a really great product if youre looking to start your smart home. Obviously this works best if you have an amazon prime account, and even better if you subscribe to a few streaming services. You can still stream plenty of free stuff as well.

    We got this back in January for our apartment and actually use it on a daily basis. Mostly for playing music but can't wait to move into a house so we can use more of the integrated home features. Sound is actually really great! Very good quality speaker.
