Customer Ratings & Reviews

Really like it but Alexa Search uses Bing which is very limited compared to Bing on line. Wish you could choose different search engine - I like Google over Bing. Thinking of getting Tap as well.

I was hesitant to add more gizmos in my life, but after a trial run got hooked on it. Response at times is not forthcoming but I guess with time it will get better. So far so good. Does what is intended.

I use the Echo every day! From getting weather to daily news to listening to SiriusXM I can say the device is very simple to use. There are so many skills you can download to make your Echo interact with Alexa in so many different ways. It goes on sale quite often so wait till it drops below $100.

Ask her about the weather, the news, have her play a song simply by giving her a lyric, read audiobooks, etc... the only thing she doesn't do is make phone calls if the other person doesn't have an Echo

Echo is the best way to have any songs (over a million) with just one command to Alexa. All the many features make for a wonderful piece of technology enjoyed by all ages. So helpful and entertaining!!! Love it!

Bought this so my wife could listen to music without dragging a cell phone around. She was sceptical for a couple minutes until it was set up. Now she just loves her new Echo and uses it for all kinds of tasks.

Absolutely, love my newest gadget. Just ask & you will hear your favorite songs, artist, or genre, answers to silly or complicated questions, set alarms & reminders. Help puts a smile on my face every day.

This is my second echo that I've purchased and I love this thing. I use it for my garage when working in it and I can just yell out what I want to listen to. With xm radio integration it is even better.

I have a connected home. Specifically smartthings. This gives me voice control over everything and I love it! The music is an added bonus. I plan on purchasing more, in the form of the echo dots for each room!

My wife & I bought this as a gift for her son. It's been a hit since day 1. His entire family has been enjoying Alexa, answering questions, getting weather forecasts, playing music. I'm buying one for myself!

My kids love it. I wish the sound quality was a little better especially in the bass but it works well.

Alexa was the perfect gift for a recently widowed relative. She loves that she can have music playing, or ask about the weather conditions, or the current news. A fabulous gift and almost like a new roommate!

I absolutely love the Echo. I use it as part of my smart home set up and Alexa keeps me up to date with my appointments, weather and even traffic when I am about to leave for work. Glad I made this purchase.

Alexa had been entertaining for the whole family. I really like the weather app, timer and news updates. The kids love playing music on demand. They are 5 and 3. It has also been a good way to teach sharing.

I bought this to add voice control to my Smart Things lights and other devices. It was easy to integrate and works very well. Also purchased an Echo Dot for coverage in a second room. Only slightly disappointed that the assistant is not as smart as the Google app on my phone. Still pretty good though.

Just love the product I find my self using it more and more its grate for home automation lights on lights off whats the weather tell me a fact will do math calculation I had to ask I got what I paid for. HAPPY

Extremely easy to set up using the Alexa app on your phone. Outstanding voice recognition. Was able to be in a different room of my house and still be able to command it. Great speaker quality as well!

The Echo is pretty great, news in a snap, and music at your fingertips. Gets most voice prompts accurately, even when my kids are yelling different things at her at the same time! And she never loses her temper...

She's tall and smart! She's sensible. Soft spoken but firm. She can answer (most) questions without a hesitation! She's all fact! She hears well. She has a good "lung" when we want her to sing loud! She can tell jokes -- not "ha ha, too funny", but good enough! Amazon Prime/music plays a big part of her -- another word she'd mostly be muted if we don't play music from Alexa (she sings for the dog too when we leave home). Like it that can ask her to play songs of the year, i.e. 1969 vs. by category or musicians. Glad brought her home! Fun with her around! She was on a one-day sale at BBY when I paid for her, so it's all good! I don't believe in paying full price, even for something as smart as Alexa!

I've tried the Google Home and the simple "Ok Google" is a syllable too long for ease voice control use. The echo simply has so many compatible devices even separate from my Smartthings hub that it can control. The soubd it delivers is sufficient for standalone use but option to connect to speakers via Bluetooth or AUX is useful. It can hear you much better than the Google Home and the integration with other echo dots in a smart home makes the experience seamless. Setup is a breeze. My only gripe is that commands need to be exact to your setups so you just can't say "turn off all lights" without a trigger made up unlike Google home. Overall, it's a great product for home automation and voice control.
