Customer Ratings & Reviews

This product is fantastic it reduces things you need to do on your own and is very helpful in other areas

Really awesome smart speaker. You can connect pretty much any smart device to it. Sound quality is great!

What an amazing device. I can ask it questions about sports, weather, traffic, music ... it tells me jokes, provides me with interesting trivia, turns on my lights in the morning, turns them off at night, plays music and many other useful tricks. This will again revolutionize home functionality in our lives.

We have been truly enjoying our Echo. The music is great. We use Pandora quite a bit. The local weather and news is also very timely. Still have much to learn on how to use the many fabulous features. And the weekly email updates are very helpful. Very good product for the home and easy to set-up.

The speaker on the echo is great. Flawless hook up to computer. Love it for the speak and music playing.

I really enjoy listening to music just by telling Alexa what I want or asking a question about anything

We use the echo for our basic needs for weather, listening to a radio station and as a speaker. At times it has gone into a dead zone, not responding or getting stuck in an alert mode. I have heard of the conversations being recorded but I'm not too concerned.

I got this as a present for my wife. She really likes it. She uses it to check out the weather before going out. It is able to tell her what her fit-bit count is without her having to open her laptop or her phone app. We can have it play Pandora or i-heart radio. And it keeps track of our shopping list.

I purchased this and the Dot for use with my elderly parents. Both have poor eyesight and this voice driven product has enriched their lives. Set up an Amazon Alexa product for them and enrich their lives. Alarm clocks, timers, weather, news, music are just some of the things that can help them.

The Echo doesn’t answer every question you ask, and it is not as smart as typing in a question on google, but once you understand how to talk to it... it’s pretty cool!

Used a promotion to buy this from Bestbuy, little did I know that it would be the hottest gift this Christmas season. It was out of stock from amazon for nearly a month. Very easy to set up and the sound is very clear and quite loud for its size. Lots of things you can control and the list is growing.

My entire family loves Alexa. All of my kids use it, from 8-16. But I really bought it for myself. :)

This is a quality product. I love the sound and how easy it is to connect to my phone via Bluetooth.

Coupled with Wink, this becomes an invaluable tool. I can't comment on audio quality as it's location is not ideal for sound. Voice recognition is the best I have used. Play CNN, Play x, Play y. It works very well. The Smart Home connection is really what I bought Echo for and it is fantastic. Make shopping list and see on your phone. Turn on x light or group of lights. Raise, lower thermostat. It all works very well. If you don't need audio quality, use DOTs. Echo is overkill for my use when DOTs are just as capable. With 6 DOT, 1 Echo and smart 42 devices connected, the home is very smart. Echo and DOTs make it happen. I still use Echo in one location since it was the first part of the system I bought. But now realize DOT would have been fine in that location as well. I recommend Echo if you want a better sound for listening to music, but if you are connecting to your current AV system or are not putting in a location where audio quality is not required, go DOT. Oh and DOTs sound quality is acceptable for communication type audio.

After plugging my Echo in and downloading the Alexa app the rest of the process was nice and easy. I just added all my music accounts and my smart home devices and from then on Alexa has been an amazing device. Anyone looking for a device that can help with home automation should get an Echo.

Love waking up in the morning & easily getting my calendar & the weather from Alexa. Then I can tell Alexa to play my fav morning radio station. In the evenings, she helps me cook with measurement conversions & we play daily Jeopardy:). And I keep discovering more that we can do with this fun device!

Got me hooked , now I make it a habit to talk to Alexa daily and get news , traffic , uber and pizza

Love being able to listen to music while getting ready and ask about the weather at the same time.

Ok, so I will not say its perfect but it is really close, I bought it for my wife to have endless music... Yes its great.... But then I connected it to my home automation and I will say it really nice not to have to get up to turn on or off light in a room again... Constant updates keep me interested.

The entire family enjoys interacting with the echo. It is a great way to organize shopping lists. We use the app on our phones to access the shopping list while out shopping. The kids love all of the extra features in addition to the music. Be sure to ask Alexa to play It's Raining Tacos.
