Customer Ratings & Reviews

My kids and I absolutely enjoy this product. Not only is it good for an impromptu dance party, but it's great for researching random facts.

The Echo responds to "Alexa" and you can ask things like what's the weather tomorrow; scores of your favorite teams; play music from prime; set a timer to alert you; shop for Amazon items. Alexa is constantly learning what your preferences are the more you use it.

Very handy gadget to have at home. Use frequently to play subtle background music, get weather forcast, or add items to a shopping list. Can order items on Amazon or put them in shopping cart. Has been a great purchase. Highly recommend. Great sound by the way.

Have not used all the features and benefits, but so far the family loves it.

This is a great gift idea for the person who is hard to buy for. Got it for my dad for his birthday and he really loves it. Overall it is a unique item that I would recommend for tech loving or even not tech loving people. It is user friend, just simply talk.

I'm enjoying this product very much. It's my go to first thing each morning.

I received this as a Father's Day gift. I enjoy using it quite a bit. I like the Flash Briefing the best. I also use it to play "Thunderstorm Sounds" for relaxing white noise. Easy to set up, easy to operate, and useful with the Alexa app on my phone.

This is my third Echo. The secret is the array of microphones. It hears you over music and in your natural speaking voice. Very helpful and a good speaker. Easiest way ever to connect your phone to a Bluetooth speaker. "Alexa, Bluetooth connect," and you are done.

Got this for someone as a gift and they enjoy it, asking for the weather while doing other things around the house or having your favorite music play. I've tested it and am amazed and what it can do, look forward to what it will be capable of in the future.

I love my Alexa! Much simpler to set up than I expected, she was connected to my WiFi in under 3 minutes. She's yet failed to understand my request. Our next step is to get Ethernet-controlled outlets for lights, etc., so that Alexa can control those for us.

Love this product! I use it everyday to listen to my music, ask Alexa what time it is, and how is the weather. Some of the things it does not pick up such as some of the restaurants or places that I'm looking. I wasnt really happy about that but I'm hoping there's a software upgrade or something that will fix it. Thats the only reason i'm giving four stars rating.

This was given to me as a gift and I have enjoyed it. I love the different skills you can add to it. Now my kids need the arch Dot because they try to take the Echo away from me. I brought my mom one and my uncle brought my aunt one and the love it as well.

I STILL CAN NOT BELIEVE ALL OF THE THINGS IT CAN DO, AND I'M STILL LEARNING

Amazon Echo is really useful with everything it already can do. Currently it is needed as a hands-free device and we use it to control lights, to send emergency phone calls, as an alarm, streaming music player, shopping list, weatherman, and to search the internet. When it can completely control a phone's text and calling capabilities, we'll have everything we need from it.

This was a Christmas gift to me. I love it! It stays in the kitchen and whenever anybody is busy in the kitchen it is nice to listen to whatever song you're thinking of. Hand free of course. Ask it anything you will get an answer. Very handy item to have.

We are pleased with our Echo! Alexa is very useful. We utilize her to change the temp via our Nest, setting multiple timers is extremely helpful when cooking, and we play music via Spotify and check the following day's weather almost every evening!

Purchased this after extensive research between the Echo and the Google home. I must say that this is surprisingly handy. Weather updates in the morning and news headlines read back to me is pretty cool. The echo is very expandable with all the skills you can download to it to make it even better with its knowledge. There are some things that the Google Home does better as far as its answering (Google's search vs Bing) some questions and it's better at interacting with the person speaking, but I feel that Amazon will be learning to do the same thing with their future updates.

Great sound..music sounds live as if at a concert..love that it seems to have a personality..does more than I imagined. The weather, news time date plays local radio stations and any song or app on my smart phone..can use in any room..loving my purchase.

I got this for my wife to use in her sewing room along with our Amazon Prime Music membership. The sound quality is about the same as a good quality bluetooth speaker and fills the room nicely. And it's great just asking for music and having it play!

Bought this as a family Christmas present but was concerned that we would not really use it. Boy was I wrong. I request music on it all the time, check the weather, confirm my calendar and the kids are constantly asking it questions. Well worth the money!
