I like the Alexa, although it is pricey. It makes choosing music and getting certain information easy. I would like some flexibility to change its name, though.

I am still discovering what my Echo is capable of and learning more each day. I do wish it came with the battery pack as I thought it was rechargeable.

Great to set timers, play music, look up scores, etc. I wish it could access my weather app (dark sky) when I asked about rain to give me a more precise answer.

I thought this was a silly Christmas present at first, but now it is my most favorite Christmas present EVER!!! You can do so many things with it, it saves me tons of time, and they come up with new "skills" for it daily! I am giving each of my kids one, and my husband is so impressed with it that he is going to get a Dot to keep upstairs!!! I used to live my life with post-it notes, now I use Alexa instead!!!!
