    At first wasn't so sure about getting the Echo. Finally after reading reviews and the things it could do I bought one. So far it has worked great and looking forward to being able to continue to expand its capabilities and help smart wire my house.

    This is my 2 nd Echo purchase. I have had one for awhile. This was for my daughter. We love Alexa. She is in our kitchens and helps with everything; recipes, kid chore list, grocery list, music, weather, timer, story teller, the list is endless. She gets confused occasionally but she is usually still amusing. We are all glad she became part of our family.

    Got a great deal from Best Buy on Amazon Echo during a 1-day sales event. Use Echo as a countertop speaker more than anything else in our dining area/kitchen, and the sound clarity is amazing. Has turned into a great every day companion.

    The Echo is growing on me. It can give you weather or traffic or sport scores. All without lifting a finger. It can tell me how many steps on my Fitbit. It's learning new things all the time. It great. I recommend it. The possibilities are endless.

    I own a Echo and have now purchased a second one for my Daughter as my whole family loves to ask questions and play music.. I would recommend the Echo to everyone. Music is crystal clear and volume can be lowered or raised upon voice command.

    Great. I'm cheating on Siri with Alexa, She gets me!!! Well done AI, seemless intergration with other smart products. Just a joy to have around. Microphone picks up commands from a distance. Very well done. I bought 2 Echo Dots for other rooms.

    I got this as a gift for my friend. It has a nice sleek look to it. You have to have the app to access all of its features, but overall it's fun to use. My only complaint is it needs to be consistently plugged in. It would be nice if it had a long lasting battery that would allow us to place it where we want, but aside from that. It's been fun

    My wife asked me to get her an Echo for Mother's Day and man, am I proud I did. She loves it. She gets the weather report regularly and ask Alexa a lot of questions. Frequently I hear songs she asks Alexa to play. What a fantastic machine!

    Lots of fun, but also very useful. Have it connected to my Nest Thermostat and going to connect it to my Caséta Wireless switches. The speaker has great bass for its size. Search YouTube videos for tips and tricks. It does more then you think,

    Lots of fun and entertaining. Bought this for my parents to keep them active in the technology world and they love it. Great purchase that works great for them. Especially when they tell it to control the lighting I setup in their home.

    I mainly use for listening to music and it works great to have between the kitchen and living room. I was already an Amazon Prime member so set up was extremely easy. Family likes to ask Alexa silly questions...it's a little entertaining.

    Echo is a great addition to the home especially since we have WeMo products in the house and able to control lights throughout the house by simply telling Alexa. Great sound in the kitchen to listen to music with Amazon's Prime music library.

    So Alexa is pretty awesome. I have Sirius XM and can stream Howard Stern while working at home. She can set my Sensi thermostat, tell me the weather, news and much more that is updated daily. Will enjoy the features for a long time.

    Voice recognition works great. Wish Amazon had more sophisticated features available through this device. However, there's lots of innovation going on here. You won't be disappointed. The speaker is pretty good for something this size.

    Still needs work as it does not always understand questions and needs more info installed so as to be more user friendly. I got it on sale so decided to try it. Works very well with my wemo light switches and like telling it to play my music and set alarms. For the price I got it for it will pass until they update it some more, It's a work in progress!

    I LOVE my echo! You can do so much with it. I check the weather every morning, play music on command and my daughter was using it to practice her Italian. Just bought both the kids the echo dots for their birthdays. Everything connects!
