    I love Alexa although sometimes she has a hard time understanding so I find myself repeating commands such as “Alexa turn off lights in bedroom” . Overall she’s amazing and she tells jokes and very up to date with current events

    Bought the Amazon Echo Plus with the intent to begin transitioning our home into a smart home. Love the ease of the Amazon Echo Plus. We use for many amazon features like streaming music and playing multiple games/skills. We have also connected some of our house lights which we can control and dim with our voices. Very good product.

    Speaker has great sound and it’s awsome that it syncs with other speakers to really fill your house with sound. The smart lights I wasn’t too sure of, but since I’ve installed it I want to get more. It’s a great smarthome hub.

    The speaker is surprisingly good for listening to music. The reason for only 4 stars is that sometimes I have to repeat myself twice. It doesn’t wake up on the first prompt. I have to increase the volume in voice to awaken.

    The Echo Plus is great. “Alexa” is the best feature. The only problem is, you can’t use it wirelessly. It must remain plugged in at all times, which is kind of annoying.

    Great - but only as a regular Echo

    I'm giving it 5 stars because this is my first Echo, so I don't have any personal comparison to the regular Echo. It's great if you just consider it a regular Echo. As a hub, it's just ok. It's true that you don't need the Phillips bridge, but only if you're ok with limited controllability. Alexa can only turn the lights on and off, dim them, and change the color without the hub. If you want to set scenes, put the lights on a timer, or pick specific shades of colors, you'll need the bridge.
