    I have been enjoying my echo for about a month. I enjoy using it for Pandora, flash update, and general things like weather, and information through Wikipedia. There is room for improvement in services, but that is being addressed with new skills being added. Generally, I like it.

    I was a hesitant buyer of these devices until the echo dot was given to us as a gift. It is fun to use, but we wanted a louder and better speaker. So that's why we bought this. Happy so far.

    I am still learning what all the Echo can do but it is awesome. I love the shopping list, the timer, just being silly with games. Working on getting plugs and light switches to control the house.

    I love the hands free feature of the Amazon Echo. The speakers are great and the music sounds great on it. My main reason for getting It was to listen to music but it does so much more!

    This is the best device of the season. This is Siri on steroids Alexia does a lot. Apple could take a lesson from Amazon on this, but Apple will just steal the idea and call it innovating.

    I gave the echo to two of my friends. They were impressed with Alexa and her instant answers to any questions that were asked. They also liked the instant access to music from Amazon Prime

    If you like digital music, this is for you! With all of the free music available from Amazon Prime, this is completely worth the price. The speaker is also impressive for its size. It has other cool features, but even if you only use it as a speaker with Amazon Prime, you will love it.

    The Echo is fun, useful and entertaining, I use it for making a grocery list, for a timer while cooking, etc, and I love it for listening to news on the radio and to my music on my play list.

    I purchased the Echo as a Deal of the Day for $130. At this price it is worth it. I have learned only simple things so far (Prime Music, weather, daily Jeopardy questions and getting it to tell jokes). But, I think it is well made and I'm sure I'll learn how to use it for more things.

    I purchased this as a gift for my daughter. I tried it with her at her home, and wow, accurate, clear, and loud. Only draw back is that the music selection can only come from amazon prime, not your own catalog, at least that is what I am told. Other than that it really works great

    I am using Alexa for my thermostats. It feels so good I can change my thermostats while I am in bed. I'll continue to use Alexa for other things. With my voice I can do anything with Alexa.

    I use the echo to turn on and off lights, play music, and control my air conditioning. I bought a WiFi thermostat and smart plugs to plug my lights into and they work well with it. I like it, but I wish I did more useful stuff. Like I don't need alexa to tell me a joke.
