    Every time I ask Alexa for something, my 2 year old grandson runs over and tries to pronounce her name, he's almost there, hopefully he'll have a question for her as well. He likes dancing to the nursery rhymes that I ask her to play for him.

    My wife initially talked me into this. I love it! Shopping lists, tasks, music, news, stock market,and on and on!! Well worth it and you have someone that talks to you, only when spoken to!! That is worth more than you can imagine! Highly recommend it!

    Love the sound quality and knowledge of ALEXA. The whole family really likes the way you ask Alexa questions and the answers she gives!. The choice of music knows no end. We play games and listen to the music day in and day out. Really love the Echo!

    This was the fourth ECHO we have purchased. The first one was for home, an award from RealtyUSA.com. The last three were Christmas presents for all the Grandchildren. they just love it. When we are out our dogs listen to classical music on the ECHO!

    A friend and my neighbors have Echo Dot. After talking with them, I purchased one and am very pleased with it. Especially, I like being able to listen to my favorite local radio stations, as well as Sirius/XM. The sound quality is excellent.

    The Amazon Echo is a very easy device to use. It makes it easy to control all of your smart devices. Like music on your computer, cell phone, smart tv's, light bulbs, and many other devices. All you do is tell it what to do and it does the rest!

    My son has always like the idea of a smart home. While that isn't in our future, having Alexa in his room makes him feel like he can walk into his room and request music or have a question answered like he is sone sort of Tony Stark lol. Great buy!

    Really fun and nifty device...we use it for setting alarms, checking movies, weather info, playing music and getting answers. We are evolving with it to discover new ways to utilize the Echo. Speaker quality is very good...better than I expected.

    There are a few options in this area. Amazon has more time and experience in the field, and in some ways it shows. It doesn't do everything yet, but is growing all the time. Surprisingly good speaker, and Alexa is quite good with voice recognition.

    Echo came in on time and packaged well. Size is good. Playing music is good. Doesn't always understand what is asked and some things doesn't know or have to find just right way to ask. However, I'm still learning about it and it is still learning. Responds very quickly when it understands what is asked. It is fun so far and I hope will get even better.

    Needed speaker system for office music and the Echo is very easy to set up syncing with my iPhone by adding the Alexa App. Took maybe 5 minutes from opening box to playing Pandora on it. Have built in speakers in our house but they connect to CD player, radio or cable music channels but I wanted something that I could easily control the genre and this is it!

    This is my third Alexa, and I'm very satisfied with its functionality. It works well with smart devices such as lights, locks, thermostats, and so on.. I highly recommend it if you're in the market for a similar device. Don't think twice.

    It was a hard choice between high priced echo vs the cheaper dot but I chose the echo. I do like having the speaker internal and I will be able to add the dot later on to other places. You can download apps to have alexa more adjustable to you

    I love this thing. It controls my lights (additional components needed). I ask it questions. It gives me traffic and weather...and manages my shopping and to-do lists. I know I'm just only scratching the surface...but so far, I have no complaints.

    I really enjoy my Amazon Echo. Not only does it play my music, I use it for home automation (wireless) and can make phone calls to friends that also have Alexa. One Echo was not enough so I purchased additional Echos for different rooms.
