    This is an OK device, decent speaker for casual listening. The voice recognition is not good though. When you have to yell and repeat commands over and over it gets frustrating.

    Really cool and useful. Kids love it also. Sound quality is good enough considering size and other capabilities.

    Aside from all it's other capabilities I've yet to learn, my FAVORITE thing about the Echo is telling Alexa to add items to my shopping list then once I'm at the store I'm able to pull up my list on my Alexa app. No more sloppy grocery lists, no more accidentally leaving them at home. Best part is if I realize I'm about to run out of something while cooking, I just tell Alexa to add it to my shopping list without even having to pick up a pen or my phone!

    Traded in the Echo for Google Home after trying both. Did the training questions but still found it could only answer 6 of 10 questions. There were many specific apps but trying to remember the cues words is more difficult. Google home answers without cue words the first time and can extend a conversation based on the first question. Can ask for driving times to destinations without an app, same for getting a cocktail recipe. Very dry responses where GH has personality. Try them both before deciding what is best for your needs.

    This is my third Echo. My husband bought one for me for Mother's Day. Then, I bought each of my children one for their dorm rooms. It has great sound. Compact and easy to use.

    We are loving our Alexa. I am ready to get the Dot for another room. The speakers sound phenomenal for the music! She will connect you to radio stations for your music preference as well. I am a prime member, so be careful when your kids start to talk to her. Make sure you do the parental settings in your Amazon account, if not your kids will be signing you up for trial memberships from Amazon. My 7 year old thinks this is cool & loves to ask her things.
