Customer Ratings & Reviews

It’s really like a voice activated computer that answers questions, and can control compatible home automation devices. Great voice recognition, but a little worried about privacy.

Good sound, learns more as you use it, can tell reasonably corny jokes, and Amazon come up with a new app almost weekly. Future is great for it. Got it on sale......if I could get that price again, I might get another one.

I like this thing I have it turning on lights in and out of the house it good for getting info about things it can do math it can hear very good and will play music from my Pandora account that's just a few things it can do.

I like the functionality of the Echo and how easy it is to use. The major downfall for me is not being able to synchronize with Apple calendar as it only allows for Google calendars to sync. I also like that I can tell Alexa to add things to my shopping list or play different kind of music. Overall is a God purchase.

My second echo bought for my second home. works great

This is a great product, works with my Hue lighting products and Ecobee3 thermostat. It is fun and the sound reproduction is good considering the size of the speaker. I would buy the product again if I had the need.

This thing is pretty freakin cool. It's a gadget but a useful one. It's literally Siri for the house. Ask it anything and get the answer or just listen to any type of music in great sound quality. Awesome little thing.

I use it to control the smart devices. It works well. No problem about discovering the devices. The loudness is more than enough for my living room. Furthermore, it allows the Bluetooth devices to connect to it.

Works great and constantly updated and improving. I use it to turn on my lights, my fan and adjust my two thermostats. I also ask it to play my favorite talk radio and more. Will pick up more for other parts of the house.

Great for music! Speaker quality is excellent! Can listen to Pandora and also through Amazon Prime...Haven't attempted to order from Amazon Prime yet though. It will do other things as well...we are still learning!

I love my Amazon Echo. We use it on the outdoor kitchen/patio. It has a very good speaker and access to my Pandora Music. It does so much more including instant weather reports. Several friends have purchased one as well.

I HAVE SEEN THIS DEVICE ADVERTISED . I DECIDED TO GIVE IT A TRY AND AM SO GLAD I DID. .IT IS SO NEAT THE QUESTIONS YOU CAN ASK IT AND IT COMES BACK WITH THE ANSWER IN 1 SECOND.. I ALSO LIKE PLAYING MUSIC THROUGH IT.

I love having Alexa around. When you have your hands full you can still get information or set a timer without having to empty your hands or wash the meatloaf off first. I can't wait to see what all she can do.

My primary reason for purchasing this was to control my new smart home devices. In particular, our Phillips Hue lights. Works great for off/on and dimming at a percentage but can't get the colors and scenes to work. Has to be SO exact with the naming of the lights and wording when you speak to Alexa. Also, making lists is JUST a shopping list. It would be great if I could add to an Amazon wish list instead! Seems like a natural!? Great for checking weather, sports and such. Playing music is hit or miss with my Prime account... to REALLy get everything, you apparently have to have the monthly fee enabled "unlimited" feature. Example: I can listen to the Police or Foo Fighters, but no Led Zeppelin - really??? Then it just tries to "sell you" the upgrade when you ask it to play something it can't. That's pretty annoying. Looking forward to Apple's version of this. More expensive and still many months away, but since I have an Apple Music account and it will play MY playlists! The Alex Echo was a great price though and a good starting home hub speaker.

Very useful. Very informative and Very entertaining.

Echo works great. It provides good sound for a small system. Bluetooth setup/use can be somewhat annoying depending on what you're trying to connect. However there are always updates, and it gets smarter all the time.

We love our Amazon Echo. The kids love asking Alexa to play songs and pairing this with a portable battery for the Echo is a perfect way to move Alexa around the house. Highly recommend getting this over the Dot

It works great once you start to know how to use it.

Alexa has become a member of the family. She wakes us up in the morning, helps with math homework, plays music, and keeps track of our shopping lists! I can't imagine not having this device and the Dots in every room!

This is not just an speaker, this is something else
