Customer Ratings & Reviews

While comparing to other competitive products the Echo appeared to be the best. Purchased as a gift for a family memeber.

We purchased this item for my father and he has found it easy to use and sync to every device he has.

It is so fun to ask alexa and get an answer or listen to music which sounds great by the way. Very glad I purchased an Echo.

I've had my Amazon - Echo (1st generation) - Black for a couple of years, I use it every day.

Shopping and todo lists are very helpful with productivity. Fun interactions. Not always able to answer questions that she should be able to. Not connecting with Exchange calendar is a problem

Love it! Glad I got the one with voice command. Don't have extra speakers so this works better than the dot for me.

We enjoy asking questions, listening to music. Need to learn more of the things that it can do. Great voice recognition.

Awesome and expandable to so many different uses. Make sure to get the accessories to really take advantage of the unit.

It's a great device that lets you do stuff without getting off your couch or leaving your bed. My lights and fan can be turned on and off by my voice. I set my alarm daily just telling her to set it and the time. My tv can be controlled with my Alexa. You can use as an intercom system if you have in several rooms which I do. The only complaint I have is that sometimes I have to repeat myself a few times for it to pick up what I am saying. But not enough to worry about. B

Very simple to set up and easy to use! If you are looking to start or add to your smart home this is the way to go!

I always seen it on tv so went to bestbuy to see a sample. Saw it, tried it out liked so I bought it for a Christmas gift

I bought this for my daughter for Christmas and she loves it! So easy to use...it exceeds our expectations in every way.

I wasn't sure how much I'd use the echo but I found that I use it for music, checking the weather and even cooking tips.

I so enjoy Alexa. My favorite radio station is just a request away, as is most information. Great conversation piece!

I now have 3 Bedroom,kitchen and shower area and I will be getting one for the media room in the future. I think that says it all. The only down side is since it's operations is in the cloud, if Amazons servers go down then it's a brick but you can connect to Bluetooth on the phone and also use it as a Bluetooth speaker. There is one thing they could fix and that is when the volume is up high then if you try to talk to the Echo, it can't hear you and you'll have to manually turn it down.

Alexa is great to use; her recognition is good, and if you have Spotify and Pandora accounts you can really get a lot out of it (and light / outlet kits: saying "Alexa, turn on the living room" feels exquisitely dorky). Plus, it's the only way to order the Dot, which is essentially the top of this speaker. After a week with the Echo, I purchased 2 Dots for other rooms. Again, to get the most out of this, you need to own Kindle Books, have a Spotify account, and preferably Audible / Unlimited.

Echo works flawlessly, its voice recognition to respond to requests is great. Just purchased a second one for the upstairs.

It's great for being able to easily listen to music or Howard Stern. It also has cool skills you can download to do interesting or funny things. I just wish the speaker was a little better

The device is great to have in your home...like asking what the weather would be like...playing your favorite sound etc.

We enjoy our Amazon Echo Alexa. I like being able to just ask a question out loud and receive the answer. If you want to know what the weather is like outside you just ask and she tells you:)
