    this thing works great. it was simple to set up and has great sound. all of my Amazon prime music is available. we keep it downstairs where we watch tv so it is available. Now we need a "spot" for the kitchen. Set a timer, put items on the grocery list Etc.

    Got this as a Christmas gift for my father. So far (it's Feb now) he loves it and enjoys having Alexa tell him the news or the weather. Easy to set up and nice to be able to have music on demand without having to open any apps or turn anything on.

    Pretty cool device. I really found that I do not have much use for it. Does quite a bit as far as controlling my tv and Hue lights.

    The sound is good, and it gets really loud. New features are always added, and it is compatible with a growing list of products. *The less awesome part: I've found that if I go to max volume, Alexa can't hear me even if I scream right next to her.

    The echo was easy to set up and interface with all my smart lights and outlets. It's quicker to get the weather through the echo than it is to go on line for it. It does an amazing job in understanding what I am asking for and finding the answer.

    Easy to setup, very helpful to have. We stream music all day thru it. Also great for creating shopping lists. Just add items when you are thinking about them, quick easy. Makes grocery shopping easier and you save money because you have a list!

    Mainly use it for playing music, was going to connect to Apple Music, but found it much easier to use amazon music and amazon offers a lower priced plan if you just use amazon music for Alexa. I have an outlet switch connected which is convenient for turning on/off lights. It has a good speaker for playing music. I think Alexa is comparable to Siri.

    I have had friends who told me how great the Exho is. Now I totally believe them. I love the easy access to our Amazon music and morning weather and news while we're preparing lunches. Super easy to set up on our network. No complaints so far.

    Works great having lots of fun asking questions. I have it connected to my smart home and insteon lighting so now everyone can easily operate the house by voice. There was a learning curve as to how to communicate with the Echo but easily learned
