I absolutely love my echo because I am lazy to log on my computer to ask google. Also I get multi use of it as my personal Pandora music box. The only downside to this is Alexa can't hear you if your room is big because of echoing in the background....also I forgot her name once and had to walk next to her to turn her off. Other than that...I love her!

I bought this for my mother. She loves it. She keeps it in her kitchen to listen to music, news, and audiobooks while she cooks and cleans. She has an Amazon Prime membership, so she has access to their large and diverse music library. She also listens to audiobooks that she's bought on Audible. The Echo can even be used as a timer for cooking!

This is the 3rd echo I now own along w one dot! Have one to my oldest for her dorm and she was really excited. The dot is used w my larger stereo so nonneed for the speaker and extra cost. I did however buy it on sale for $90 on Best Buy and amazon prime day. Amazing deal. Very loud speaker on the echo. Only con is it sometimes is so loud Alexa can't hear your voice to control it. Works with my nest thermostat and eventually with some colored lighting I plan to put in.
