    Alexa is very easy to use and to set up. Once you get the hang of it setting up smart devices is a breeze. Haven’t used a light switch in a month lol

    Device was easy to set up. Bought this for my elderly parents. They use it to listen to music, make shopping lists , etc. They enjoy their new “toy”.

    My iPad pen is great when I use it. It works best in certain apps, but I find that I don’t use it much because it’s easier to use the iPad keyboard.

    I had put off getting an echo and now, I am hooked on it. It was easy to set up and is extremely easy to use. In conjunction with a harmony remote control and hub, the echo controls the stereo, television and more. The fidelity is surprisingly good for a small unit.

    After toying with purchasing an Echo for months, we finally pulled the trigger. It was well worth it. From recipes to simplifying a shopping list to music and news, it's a perfect supplement to our connected home. Alexa is much sharper than Siri. Highly recommended!

    I absolutely love the Echo! I tell Alexa what kind of music to play and she plays it. Great as a timer in the kitchen, controls my Nest, answers random questions you may have and even tells jokes! I plan on buying more "smart home" devices to get even more use from it.

    I thought this would be a fun toy to have around but it has become much more. I have a home automation system in my home and I continiasly need to find my control panel or bust out my phone, which to be honest is somewhat fustrating. Via Alexa I was able to control everything in my home including my nest which is awesome. Only drawback is price. Its somewhat pricy for what it is.

    With some technical savvy, you can quickly have the core of home automation installed and grow over time. The link to my Amazon Prime account gives me access to some 2M songs. I can control lights and temperature via links to my Nest thermostat and Philip Hue.

    I love it!!! This is the best speaker for the average couch potato or lazy person! I can tell her to play my favorite pandora stations or set alarms without lifting a finger! I can even ask if it'll rain today so I know if I should bring an umbrella! Great buy!!!
