    I bought Alexa for my husband for Fathers Day, since he's always looking up the daily weather forecast. I think I use it as much as he does, I love the music choices and the speakers sound great!

    I have the Ecobee Smart Thermostat and Sensors. Now, with the Echo and a few Dots throughout the house...I am looking more like George Jetson!!! A great device to voice control compatible smart devices!

    I am very happy with my echo. I use it to play music while I workout and clean. It's also very help when I'm trying to put my 15 month to sleep. You can do some much without touching it. Love it

    I bought this because a couple of my friends have it. Mine is in the kitchen and I use it all the time. Love that I can ask Alexa to play a certain artist or genre. Super easy to set up and use!

    Bought 2 Dots for myself and this one for my parents. They are in their 80s and they use Amazon to play music and I use it to drop in on them. They also use the Echo to call me in an emergency.

    The Echo is a great speaker with clear sound that reaches from one room to another. The biggest problem that I have had us getting it to work with the Nest thermostat. The thermostat must be registered under the same email account as the echo, otherwise the Echo cannot remotely control it.

    Have it located in our kitchen and is great for listening to your Amazon music. Voice recognition is good and we also use the timer function often. The quality of the sound is good too with decent bass.

    The Echo is great. It provides useful information when it is properly set up in the app. It can control lighting, music etc. We have either the Echo or the Dot in each of our homes.

    Alexa doesn't always have the answer to a question I ask but she is a lot of fun to play with. She can be utilized for so many purposes from a timer to playing a specific song. Great fun for all ages!

    It took a couple days to learn to do small things on the echo. After going online and looking up various questions I'm really beginning to enjoy it. I like it so much I bought one for my son. Looking forward to learning and using it more. Just wish more information came with it as far as using it.

    My review is not a review of the device as much as my opinion on which product to choose when trying to decide between this and Google home. Google home is the closest competition in this landscape and its still lacking in comparison to Alexa. All of the interesting features of Google home are non existent or slowly being released. Using these features as a selling point is disingenuous. More than that Google home constantly has trouble detecting my voice and doing any of the assistant commands. In the same environment the echo dot with budget hardware had better success rate. When it did detect it the time to action was x2 as long as Google home is much more "chatty".
