This is the little brother of the Echo full size unit. I have it connected to a set of Bose speakers so I virtually get everything the same as the Echo. I am impressed with the ability to connect my Smart Home System with the unit and verbally control home devices. I also use the Alarm, Schedule, News, and Music/Radio to keep you onetime and informed. I like the unit enough that I purchased Echo's for other family members as gifts.

I'm in love with this little hunk of plastic. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with this. If I would have enough use for it. Yes, it tells you the weather. Keeps you up to date on what's going on in the world, plus the list of skills I haven't even tapped into yet. But I think my favorite so far, is the music. It's like having my own personal DJ in the house. 99.9% of all the songs I ask Alexa to play she does with no problem. Or I just ask her to play Jazz and I have a whole night of Jazz music for parties. I have another one in the bathroom so I can here the news while I shave, or listen to thousands of radio stations. I think the only things she can't do are the things I haven't learned to ask her.

Small and clean finish. I use it a lot for alarms, reminders and checking the weather on the fly. Don't think i'd pay full pop for it though (picked up two while they were 50% off). I might feel differently once I set it up with a few smart thermostats and my smart TV...

I purchased this for my son - they were on backorder at the A (online store) - but lots in stock at Best Buy - AND the price was the same - the item works as advertised and my son loves it.

This has been a great buy! Cheap and easy intro into voice assistants and if you have a speaker already, you don't need to buy the full Echo. Easy to set up and use, and fun to figure out what it can do.

This product has practically the same capabilities as the bigger unit, Amazon Echo and yet so tiny. It was easy to install and is my personal assistant answering questions on a variety of topics!

I brought this for my 9 year old grand child, and its great she gets to call me, and vice versa. She also uses it for an alarm, and to help define words while she is doing her homework.

Love the newest things, although Echo has been out for awhile, I found after looking and buying Google Home that Echo fit better with what we are wanting to do. It is a little picky on the exact wording, like when wanting to turn off a certain light. A little bit of a learning curve to remember to use Echo. Kids keep turning the switches off and they need to be on the ON position for Echo to do her thing. Love that you can tell it to add a event, reminder and it will. Love that you can ask what is happening on such and such a date, and if you have a calendar linked it will tell you.
Asking her some questions she doesn't seem to learn. So lots of repetition of questions having to be asked. You can't say, like after asking about a movie, say who played in it. Echo doesn't seem to know what you are talking about. Overall like it, not to sure I love it. but for the price not to bad, its the extra stuff to make this the great product that is costly, lights, nest, door bell. So could probably have lived with out it.

Alexa is awesome for 39.00, lots of apps and connect to most blue tooth and some wifi accessories, she can answer most questions and plays music which is loud enough for at least one room in your house.

For the price of this echo, it's provided hours of entertainment! My 2 yr old granddaughter loves hearing the ABC's and I love having my lights turn off and on, totally worth the price! I LOVE it!
