    This was included with my Insignia Fire TV but the directions for hooking it up are so difficult to understand that it sits in the box unused. Shame on you Alexa!

    I’m so upset that I got my package yesterday expecting the speaker and I had some Mario video games instead. How could you send me the wrong package without even noticing

    You have to be willing to give up your privacy for the convenience of owning one of these. I value privacy over convenience so I put it back in the box and it will get re-gift it at next year's white elephant exchange.

    Haven't been able to use yet. Missing items. I have not been able to use for seven weeks. I've spent hours between Morse Road Best buy and national trying to correct the problem. Staff apathy

    We could not get this to sync with alexa on our smartphone. Connected to wifi, clicked on the echo dot and it wouldn't setup or do anything. Complicated for me to use. Had to return. Customer service was great!

    My echo very soon has stopped working. I checked and the problem was the plug wire. I have tried to buy a new one at amazon but is cheaper to get a new one . So expensive. My echo now has used as brick

    Got this as a freebie with a purchase of a TV. I don't think I will ever use. I don't want that weirdo Jeff Bezos spying on me.

    I am not able to use this. I have tried and even my very tech savvy granddaughter tried to make this thing work. It kept prompting us to repeat the same steps but we never got it programmed to work.

    Don't bring this little spy bot into your home. I'm sure it works fine, but it's literally spying on you 24/7.

    It’s like having a cat around the house. Sometimes you forget about it being around, until it does something to scare you. We do enjoy playing Question if the Day, and hearing the Fun Fact of the Day.
