    It's a very cool device to have and control home items by voice. It's limited to its capabilities but updates to include things you wish it did like the recent add to calendar reminders and alarm. Love cutting on my lights on by voice (beats the clap on lol). It does have a hard time of hearing sometimes and I have to repeat myself and holler sometimes like its my kids.

    This is my second Amazon Echo that I'm adding to another level of our house and I couldn't be happier with these devices. From controlling music, lights, thermostats and the list goes on and on, life with Alexa and an Amazon Echo is much better!

    Purchased this for my wife for Mother's Day. Wasn't sure what we would do with it but we're finding things. She takes it everywhere with her. Sometimes we put it where we're sleeping and have it play thunderstorm sounds while we're going to sleep.

    I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE ECHO. IT'S VERY LOUD WHEN I WANT, AND I LOVE HOW IT WORKS GREAT WITH VIVINT. I JUST WISH THE VIVINT EQUIPMENT WAS AS GREAT AS THE ECHO. PLUS, AMAZON IS GREAT WHEN IT COMES TO STANDING BY THEIR PRODUCTS.

    Love my Echo! I am still new to the process and am learning how to use it. Listening to music is a great pleasure! The sound is so rich and enjoyable. I look forward to learning more about it and installing Echo-compatible products in my home.

    From my Philips Hue Lights to my keys, the list goes on. I was skeptical as my house is primarily a Apple Hub. Alexa plays well VERY WELL with others, and is extremely responsive. Don't base your opinions on voice recognition on Siri. Give Alexa a go.

    Great product. I have two of these and a couple of the POD's. These are great for listening to music, solid built in speaker and the POD with Bose bluetooth speakers is only a slight improvement. I'm already buying two more of these for Christmas gifts

    Very easy to setup with app. You can get plenty of information and facts. I setup with pandora to play my favorite selections. I bought wemo wifi outlets but not setup yet with echo. Sound of speaker is fabulous. I also bought the dot for the bedrooms.

    Amazon echo has been a great product. We are able to turn our lights on and off, get the news, sports and traffic and even schedule calendar events just by asking Alexa to perform the task. Love this product. Can't wait for further integration with our home.

    I bought this for my wife for her birthday. She is a huge music buff. This thing makes me wonder if I will ever buy music again. Tell it to play anything and it will. It's worth a purchase for this reason alone and it does so much more. Awesome buy

    Alexa, How awesome are you?

    The answer, pretty darn awesome. She tells jokes, she plays music, she aids in controlling your smart household devices. The sound from the speakers are very good, the Alexa interface is very intuitive. Helps a ton to have Amazon Prime Music.

    Purchased as part of a bundle with a Logitech remote. Not sure I would buy it alone. The discount was too good to pass up. I guess it's cool. Not sure how much I can do with it other than playing music and waking me up in the morning. We'll see.

    This is a fun thing and very useful. We are still getting used to it. Love asking it to tell me what weather forecast is, news, Who won baseball game last night, etc. Great for music. Just say "Alexa, play some Italian Dinner music or whatever".

    I first bought the echo dot and loved it but the sound is lacking. I bought this for the living room and it sounds 100x better. It's not going to blow the windows out or anything but for what I use it for it is perfect. Alexa, you're awesome.
