    We use the Echo Plus for playing music, checking weather and other facts, and programming lights and other activities throughout the house. It's a great product.

    I love having the echo in my kitchen. The volume is great and can be heard through out the house and is still good quality. My kid loves playing with it as well.

    This one has a much better speaker. Really must have if you enjoy music from your echo devices. Need at least one or two of these in the house.

    Bought for my husband for Christmas. We keep it in our kitchen and mainly just use it for music. But our kids love that they can tell Alexa to play a song they like and it plays

    We have had this model running flawless for over a year. We have since added more and move it to our bedroom. She works great and is a part of our daily life.

    The built in hue allows the echo plus to automatically search and finds connectable devices. The larger speaker area assists in better sound and the alexa to hear my voice!!

    Bought for Smart Home

    I bought this Echo because it comes with a smart bridge and I wanted to start my smart home. Overall, it worked great for operating basic light controls and even some of the color changes. What I didn't like is that it is not compatible with the Philips Hue Bridge app, so you can't setup a light show, run programs, or control multiple lights with a program. Also, I found that many of the Alexa apps and skills are not very detailed. They usually only allow for a portion of the smart skills. I am hoping that Amazon expands the capability of the smart bridge and apps to work better with all of the other smart products. For example, I have a Nest thermostat installed and Alexa can control the temperature, but that's about it. Also, when I log into Alexa (say I'm away from home) and want to change the temperature from the app, I am unable to do anything. I have to log into each individual app on my phone to control such things as my thermostat, garage door, security system, etc.

    I got this one because it eliminates the need for a hub for the hue lights. It’s less equipment sucking your wireless “energy”

    This was a great item for my 85 year old Mom. She doesn’t have to jump up and down to turn on/off lights. She can turn lights on at night while still in bed. Great safety
