This has been a great addition to our family...haha! The kids love it. And for the price it can't be beat, maybe by the mini me version the Echo Dot.

Debated to get Google instead but since we have a Prime subscription it made more sense to go with the Echo. Hope to soon control thermostats and lights.

Echo is terrific! Can get quick weather reports, traffic reports, and answers to a lot of questions. Alexa even lightens up your day and mood with jokes!

Received this for a christmas gift. Actually never heard of it before then. Have been using it for traffic information in the mornings before heading to work, quick homework questions with the kids, and music. Really a nice adult toy.

Quenn Alexa, does it all. Move over Christina Aguilera, Alexa is the new genie in a bottle. She knows it all, weather, sports, history, music. Who needs school when you have your own personal teacher at voice command. You betta werk Alexa!

I received the Amazon echo as a birthday gift. I am not tech savvy, so set up was a bit confusing for me. Now that I have the features I want and need on the device, our household uses it everyday! In fact, we bought 3 as Xmas gifts!

I was very surprised with the sound from the speaker. Very easy to set up, wide range so that the system can "hear" my instructions from far in my room.

Got a present for sister who's not very technically inclined. Setup was a breeze and she was surprised/scared at what it could do right out of the box!

The Echo is a gateway drug. First, I just wanted a Bluetooth speaker with some novelty features. Then I got smart outlets. Then Hue lights. Now I'm looking at smart locks. Beware ...

Great product! Easy integration with Samsung Smartthings hub and music apps such as Spotify. It also delivers great sound with the size of the speaker.

I bought the Echo for my wife. She absolutely loves it! She mostly has it play music, but even the grandkids like to ask it questions like jokes.
