I purchased this for my son & daughter-in-law for Christmas. It had to be returned as it would not sync. They got another one and have not had any problems that I know of.

Im still learning what the echo can do, but I'm pretty satisfied with my purchase. I like interacting with the devise and letting me know what the temperature is outside.

It does perform functions as it is supposed to. It would be nice if it would play more than one song on command to do so. Also would be nice if it had a head phone jack.

Very responsive. I purchased the Phillips light bulbs and Alexa controls them, brightness and color. Learning what Alexa can do takes time but well worth the effort.

Our Echo has been a fun purchase for us. We've enjoyed hearing the jokes and just being goofy with it.

Once you learn some of the invocations - it becomes easier to have Alexa reply to your command/requests.
