    My wife and I use this for storing notes and reminders. It controls my entertainment center. It sets timers for us while preparing meals. Its really handy to have one device that can do so many things and all from your voice commands.

    The setup was a bit tedious through the app and it's not as loud as I hoped, but it is PERFECT for a little Alexa on your nightstand. Great for alarms, listening to books in bed, etc. I got it for $25, you can't beat it!

    My son is always scare of the dark and he is always asking us to turn the lights on, Sometimes we are not always close to his room to help him. Now, he loves the fact that he can ask Alexa to turn the lights for him!

    Google home has a top facing Sound vent, while this has sidewards. I actually use this as a speaker most of the time to play songs. I used to mount Google Home on a wall next to the socket and it gives good sound, while Echo spreads sound along the plane of the wall. So this has to be placed on a horizontal surface for max sound output. Apart from that, it works good.

    First time with this device, I’m learning it but so far it’s amazing. Turn my lights on and off, my husband plan to get the entire home smart so I will definitely have one in every room before Christmas.

    Bought it to compliment an echo show. Using in the bathroom to play pandora and Xm radio. Price was right. Like both very much. As an aside, I also have the google product and find it much more limited. Lacks a lot of features.

    I use this in a spare bedroom. I have some type of alexa device in every room. Its great for the automation and it's a whole house music system. Great for cleaning house and it will tell me if someone comes to the door.

    This is great for those who are not tech savy: get two or more and pair with the echo show and you can have music in two or more rooms without a lot of wiring. The sound is very good for me and for those enjoy a bit more bite to their music ( bass etc) you can pair with a bluetooth speaker or your home entertainment center. I would reccommend to a friend.

    This does exactly what I expected it to do. Controls my TV, lights, and allows me to communicate with my girlfriend’s echo at her house. Inconspicuous and svelte.
