Alexa is good for a timer or connected with other devices to turn lights on and off etc. But she is not very smart about answering questions. unless basic like the waether.

Echo puck better deal when you add some cheap stereo speakers. Other than that they do the same thing. and the puck over a $100 cheaper.

I use this item mostly for music but I love alexa. She is very knowledgeable. The downside is you have to use the Alexa app for some functionality but I don't mind.
I just don't like that you have to say the app when using some skills. Like, "Alexa, use tracker to find my phone." Instead of "Alexa, find my phone." You have to remember what the skills names are.
