The possibilities are endless with the Amazon Echo. I'm just getting started with the Echo, but I know that I'll be using this for a long time.

This is by far one of the best purchases I've made in a while. I'm enjoying all the different forms of music available by just asking "Alexa".

Love using Alexa for music and syncing her with Hue to run the lights, but don't like how specific you must be with the way you ask her. Sometimes just can't get the answer cause she wants to be asked in a different way.

I have had my Echo for 4 weeks. I actually got it up and running without any help. It is just fun to have. The grand children love it too.

It's voice activated capability is nice but not that responsive when the volume is full. You have to keep your voice loud so it can hear you.
What is also nice is how it learns and can have multiple profile for family.

We use it everyday! We love it! It is a vital part of our day. From asking traffic routes, grocery list to weather. We'd be lost without it.

Alexa works fine but has trouble wit questions that requires search on the web. I have mine connected to a Smartthings Hub and for the most part they work well together. Alexa has trouble running some of the automations.

It's a cool gadget. My kids love to ask Alexa to tell them a joke or play them a song. I enjoy having Alexa set a alarm when needed as I'm bad about charging my phone which would be my usual form of alarm otherwise.

Bought on a whim because it was at Prime Day pricing. Pretty cool. Still getting used to all its features. Nice that it gets updated very often.

I don't have the other products to go with this so we use it for a room stereo. Produces nice sound and you control using voice commands.

I really like the echo but I am still trying to find out what else it can do for me. I do plan on getting the controllable lights and thermostat down the road but in the mean time it is still limited. Overall great idea.
