I love Amazon Echo with Alexa. It can answer any question. The only downside is that it cannot play ITunes music. I'm hoping Amazon will change that in the near future.

She recognizes the commands they say she will recognize, however you either have to scream at her, very loudly, or being very nearby if you want her to hear your commands

so if purchasing three more of these after the initial one doesn't say GET ONE I don't know what else to say. rated a 4 not 5 because of sketchy voice recognition sometimes.
