    Love connecting with my prime account. Perfect for listening to music in the kitchen. Haven't used all the functions yet but so far so good.

    I haven't had the Echo for very long, so I'll need to spend more time on its capabilities. I've used it primarily for music. Alexa's great at understanding my requests - when they're from Amazon Prime music or music I purchased through Amazon. I've struggled so far with trying to get her to play music from my extensive I-Tunes music - even though I have an IPod Touch paired with the Echo. I'll have to keep trying. I've also used Alexa for setting timers and some basic questions. She's not very good at some questions - especially if they're too long. Anyway, I look forward to playing with Alexa some more. So far, I'm happy with my purchase.

    The Amazon echo is worth it just for playing music. You can play pandora or Amazon prime music. But it's much more from setting a timer to adding items to my shopping list. Alexa answers your questions better than any device. And totally hands free

    This is kind of your mini assistant to find the info on your voice command and also plays a quality sound. I paired it with Bluethooth and can listen to Youtube. It reads my audiobook and frequently I ask for traffic updates before heading out, next day's weather forecast before hitting the pillow, newsflash and HBR Management Tip getting ready and currency exchange rates apart from playing music, etc. So much to explore. Results are cincise and accurate. Voice recognition from far away in the room is great. Kids love listening to jokes and ask fact finding questions. Wife likes ease of alarm, asking time without looking at wall clock and enjoys creating shopping list. This is an awesome device.

    Although sonos speaker sounds better, this is not bad, and at a cheaper price. Soon it is reported Alexa will be able to control your sonos system as well. It also includes voice control and provides 'skills' which allow for home automation possibilities. In my mind well worth the price for the voice controlled audio features, and has potential for many other uses!

    I use it primarily for music and also for news, weather, time and entertainment. The only negative I can say is that when I ask it to play music by a specific artist it randomly throws in Christmas music. Christmas music is great in December but it's August.

    You will very quickly learn how to talk to her in a way that she will understand and it's not unlike speaking to a small frustrating toddler. Alexa, when was George Washington born? George Washington was born...blah blah Alexa stop. There were rumors his teeth were wood but these turned out to be false, ALEXA stop speaking! There will be many times she will not understand what you're saying which can be both frustrating and hilarious. Alexa, put tomatoes on my shopping list. I've put potatoes onto your shopping list....Well, guess I'm eatin potatoes. That said, now that I've learned how to speak to the Echo it usually does exactly what I want it to do. I think the echo is well worth the price

    Alexa is not only fun to ask questions to, but she also tells jokes, weather, news, TV programs, how to spell a word, sports updates and any thing else you can think of. She is a hands free google. You can even have her send flowers for you. More and more aps are coming available. I love listening to either Pandora or Iheart radio, the sound quality is very good. We also have our lamp hooked up so she can turn this off and on when you tell her to.

    You can start your day saying "Good Morning" to Alexa and being entertained by her response. You can use her for many chores, depending on what devices you have, such as changing the thermostat or the channel on TV. Coupled with Amazon Music Unlimited, you have an endless supply of music which can be found in a variety of ways including just knowing some of the words.
