    I have a few smart gadgets (switches, cameras, firetv, locks, etc.) and it is super convenient to control them from your couch. My 2 year toddler loves playing his favorite rhymes (or he tries to :) ) . I love Alexa.

    We all love it. Everyone in the family uses it. I had my command changed to respond when I say "COMPUTER". Good fun. I am able to access my saved music from my computer or subscribe and listen to music on Amazon Prime.

    You can't go wrong with Alexa, easy to use. I get my flash briefing news with the focus on the Economy as a breeze when I get home after work. No need to turn the TV or a radio for the upcoming Weather, just ask Alexa.

    So fun to be able to ask Alexa how to spell a word or what is the weather. Also let her pick out music while I am busy doing housecleaning. I am continually amazed at the things she will do. Even set up an exercise program!

    Love my Echo! I brought it home and started playing with it. I had Alexa playing music, setting alarms, getting weather information. I have begun to rely on Alexa for a number of things. So glad I made this purchase.

    We were searching for a speaker and considered one which would be louder, but the Echo does so much. She is a speaker, but also a shopping list, whole-home control, encyclopedia, news source, etc. I would definitely recommend.

    I cannot figure out how to get the speaker to play when connected to another blue tooth radio. Very frustrating .

    Was expecting the moon but very happy with what it actually is. Limits are being pushed by active development, so it's a new experience every week or so. Nice interaction with home automation. Amazon prime is not bad either...

    I bought one, now my sister has one, my mom and three more family members. Easy to use and set up; I keep finding more uses for it. It is the center of my automated home and a good Bluetooth speaker, alarm clock and news reader!

    The Echo is a machine that does what it says. The Speaker is similar to my $250 bluetooth speaker. The commands are easy and I find myself using Alexa many times a day. Much better responsiveness than Siri on my phone.

    Don't know what I did before I had this. She is a great assistant in the kitchen, and am considering getting a couple of Echo Dot's for other rooms in the house. Very handy if you have other smart items in your home.

    The echo is good at playing music and getting the weather. I've not tried it with other smart home devices. It would be great if it were more intuitive. I found each app requires a specific command. Problem is trying to remember the app and allowable voice commands. Glad to see more abilities being added constantly.

    I have owned an Echo since they were first released. This purchase was a Mother's Day gift. My mom has limited mobility and loves her new Echo. She uses it every day, especially to stream music and check the weather.

    Fun Entertaining, good news updates. some draw backs is that it is not as smart google or Siri. Can only connect google calendar not IOS, at least I haven't found a way yet. Gives traffic reports. Plays music. Can wait to see how this. Product grows. Now I need to get some home automation going to try out other functions
