    Pros: - Free with the purchase of Ring peep hole cam. - Easy to setup & add apps. - LED lighting. - The ability to sync up with Ring peep cam. - The ability to sync up with another same unit in another room. - Does well with run down timers, weather forecasts & statuses on Amazon deliveries. Cons: - Speaker could use an option to adjust low, mid, high if desire. - has a delay when detecting & announcing a person at the door (could be the Ring). Instant when cam button is pushed. - can be unresponsive at times. * So far it’s working out for what needs it for. I can update my future experiences as I go.

    I’ve had this item for a year now and it has been my favorite tech in my room. Alexa answers all my questions, wakes me up, and turns on and off all my lights in my rooms. Super easy to set up and use. I bought one for my parents to and they loveeee it.

    My first Alexia, and not my last. This device is pretty good. The main use i have for it is turning on my different room lights and off again. I also use it as a speaker which gets pretty loud, Loud enough to fill up my enough house. (I live in a 4 bedroom house.)

    This Amazon echo was the best thing I could have got. It reacts to time as Well recognize this my voice. Not to mention my son loves that it sings in. Turns on with everything else when he wakes up in the mornings when he goes to bed at night.

    Got this as freebie after purchasing insignia tv. Dont have any plan on using it at first but got curious with it. Alexa is pretty intelligent and useful if you come to think of it and starting exploring things it can do for you like timers, reminders, weather forecast, etc. Can also add some skills by using the Alexa app.

    Came free with our insignia tv. Very surprised at how often it’s used by our young son, whenever he wants to listen to a song, head a joke, or even ask how hot it is he simply asks Alexa. Voice activated and tailored to the way he talks is a solid feature too.

    I love this! I can tell it to turn on and off my tv, turn up and down the tv’s volume, turn on and off my light, and I have it set up to tell me when my packages are delivered. Its very useful. It also has an app you can use to hook everything up to it.

    Was concerned with what the sound was going to be like coming from such a small speaker, but I’m impressed! I have it located on bar between living area and kitchen and it fills the entire apartment with sound. Of course if you’re expecting rumbling bass to rattle the walls then this probably isn’t gonna be it for you. But if you just enjoy the crystal clear sound of music then you won’t be disappointed.

    Honestly was never a fan of the Alexa’s, but I got this one in a package deal and it really is a time saver in the kitchen, remembering dates and checking the weather in the morning when I’m making breakfast getting ready to leave. Will be getting another in the future. Bought it about 2 years ago and works like the day I got it.
