    ...really wanted to go all in when these first came out, but very glad I bided my time. Excellent product and outstanding edition to our home automation. Plus highly entertaining for music, news, weather, you-name-it. Highly recommend!

    So far I really am enjoying this. I can ask it to play any music and so many other things. I'm still learning. Bought it to listen to music in the garage. I'm not disappointed. Have a radio out there but it's hard to get a station in

    We absolutely love the Amazon echo aka Alexa. She is very helpful with information from the weather to new to sports. And listening to our favorite music. And plenty more. It's voice activated. Very easy to use. So anyone could do it

    I wanted a device where we could enjoy in the house as a family and that was simple enough for my wife to feel comfortable with. This exceeded my expectations and is so nice to tell Alexa to play a certain song or playlist. Great sound also!

    I got this for my parents for xmas. They really like it. It's fun and is great for playing music. It's not as great for answering questions but does a decent job with simple ones. I'm disappointed it doesn't have an audio out via bluetooth or cable etc. It'd be nice to be able to hook it up to a stereo. I guess that is what the Echo Dot is for.

    I bought the echo in white. I think it looks better than the black one. Also bought a dot for the bedroom. If you get this and an Insteon starter kit, you can use Alexa to control your plug in lamps. It works well and I recommend buying it.

    I have no real complaints about the Echo, I like how it looks, it sounds good, and it can be quite entertaining at times. I probably never really use it to it's full potential, but it is handy to have. Be cautious of where you place it, as it can sometimes have a difficult time hearing you in certain locations of the room.

    The echo is absolutely amazing. You can ask Alexa almost anything and she'll respond with an answer. My only downfall with the echo and the reason I only gave 4 stars is because you can't really ask her to play a song with Apple Music. She works better with an android phone. I had to pay for Spotify to be able to ask her to play a certain song.

    This is great except for one minor problem

    The echo has a small problem in that it is a blue tooth receiver only. You can blue tooth your devises to it, tablet , phone ,or other devices. It would be better if you could connect it to a good quality stereo receiver that enable blue tooth. The dot can be connect to blue tooth speakers or blue tooth capable audio receivers. The Dot does have a small speaker in it so if it is not connected you can still use it. The problem with the dot is if you use the included 3.5 mm audio jack it disable the internal speaker. This means you have to have the audio component on to hear the Dot. However the blue tooth connection on the Dot works great. I own a Marantz AV receiver with blue tooth. I tell Alexa to connect and it automatically turns on the receiver, set it to the correct input and is ready to play music or any other audio I want to listen to through the Dot. When I tell Alexa to disconnect it turns of the receiver and switches back to the internal speaker. If you are buying an echo device for a high quality music server using Amazon music then you want an echo Dot.If you want to listen to average sounding speaker that you can place just about any where in your house the Echo is a great product.

    Bought this for my husband for Christmas. He loves to check temperatures outside and loves listen to the music of his choice. He would recommend this to others but is worried about the security or lack of. We have heard since that it is easy for others to spy on you because it is connected to Wifi. Overall, it seems to be a great electronic.

    Very simple to set up and works great right out of the box. Automatically creates to do lists and shopping lists which you can access through the app. This has become my favorite feature and I didn't even know about it when I bought the unit!

    Love the voice control activation. Being hands free is great. Just ask it a question or give it a command and it's done. Only problem I have is it won't sync with my hue light system. Once I get this problem solved, it will be all heaven.
