    Great personal assistant. Sometimes when music is playing loud Alexa can't here or understand the commands. Speaker is more powerful than expected. Ties in nicely with smart home appliances. Looks like this is more compatible with 3rd party devices than the Google Home.

    Alexa can be very useful

    Alexa can be very useful. Alexa is like your personal assistant. She can tell you reminders, put things on your calendar for you, play games, tell you the weather in the news, give you advice on which recipes would be to your liking, and tell you jokes. She has thousands of skills which are like apps on my phone. You have to enable them and then she will complete what you want her to do.

    love t5o listen to my Echo, have to lear4n to talk to alexia so she can understand. grate for parties, just tell alexia what to play--and the party is on. no balky items to carry or to set up. just plug into a outlet, wait for the echo to warm up, after that, its ready to play.

    Sound quality excellent, functionality is smooth, App required a day or two for full comprehension. System works beautifully, my sons especially have enjoyed the lighting integration with our LIFX and the Amazon Prime Music requests. Will be expanding the system when "Dot" returns.

    The amazing Amazon echo. That is the perfect heading for the speaker. Actually it's far more than the speaker, this may be one of the best purchases I've ever made. I use it to order an Uber, to order pizza, to look up recipes and to buy things on Amazon simply a genius product.

    I love my Amazon Echo. I owned 3 echos now and 2 dots. By now, everyone knows about these devices but use them for music playback, telling me the weather and time, and controlling my smarthome. Seriously, it’s the best invention ever next to my smartphone :)

    The Amazon Echo is so handy

    Our family loves the Amazon Echo. I find it handy for telling me the time and weather/temperature while I am cooking or otherwise busy. It is also convenient for calling my mother or even my own phone so that I can locate it. Of course, the kids like having Alexa tell jokes, answer trivia questions, and play games. It was a nice birthday present for my husband that the whole family ended up enjoying!

    Fun device, 5 stars if it was rechargeable

    Echo is a fun device. Music sounds good. You can ask basic questions. Nothing that Apple's Siri can't already answer. One big downfall is that the device is not rechargeable, so the device is NOT portable, you are tethered to the wall; that is unless you buy the Portable Battery Base for Echo which will add another 49.00 to an already 179.00 price. Other than that, it is easy to install.

    Initially, I didn't think this was something that I would need or want but I heard so many positive things I thought I would check it out while it was on sale. This is quite the entertaining little device. From playing practically any song you want to hear to getting weather and sports updates to games and the to do list feature everyone in our family uses Alexa. It's great fun and I highly recommend.

    I bought this product to make things a little simpilar in my life. Everything from shopping lists to music to quick information on the run (weather, traffic, news even sports scores). The only knock on this is that when an Amazon Echo commercial plays and the actors say Alexa, the unit powers on and answers. I just wish there was a way this could separate my voice from the TV.
