Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love it! Not only is it good for listening to music, it's great for asking questions too. I love being able to ask how my commute will be! Alexa is always gaining new skills too. Now it works with my home automation system!

Alexa is great! go get one right away! fun fun fun fun

I bought the Echo at a discount when combined with a Logitec Harmony remote. I now can operate my AV system just by telling Alexa what I want it to do. Pretty cool! I also use it to listen to Pandora and get my news at the beginning of the day. It is capable of much more but I am happy with what it does for now.

Especially when I was in college Alexa is so helpful.

Very loud with the benefit of Alexa and Amazon music.

Great for music, lists, reminders,questions, weather

My second Alexa (I refuse to call it echo). This little toy wakes me up every morning and together with her little sister help me avoid burning my food, stay up to date with news, play my favorite music, control Hue Lights, remember things, and read. I slowly grew attached to Alexa and now it's a part of my life that I probably cannot live without. The one thing that I don't do with it is shopping (sorry Amazon) and I shop a lot. I find it cumbersome and unintuitive. Perhaps you can use it to reorder things that you are already familiar with. The sound quality is good enough. Every morning Alexa plays some upbeat music to jump start my day. It's not as good as my UE Megaboom; it lacks bass. Granted, not that many people would expect audiophile music quality from Alexa anyways. The problem with Alexa is still its rather disappointing app selection--both quality and quantity. But I guess the few goods one still imo justify a purchase. My advice is to get one and try it out for a couple of weeks. If it grows on you, keep it. If not, say bye. Alexa won't be sad at all.

I bought this Echo for my (senior citizen) father. Once set up, it is "no tech" entertainment and fun. He can ask to play music, ask for the time, weather, news, and even send me messages.It completely amuses him

This is a great product and very convenient. It was easy to set up and connect to my Hue lighting. The Echo's ability to play music on demand is a great feature. Well worth the money for what it is capable of doing.

Purchased for household use, mainly for music streaming using Alexa App. THE PROS: Ordered online..easy. Received fast. Easy instructions & was hooked up in minutes. Wifi hookup easy too. Alexa app easy to work & figure out. Setting up with Pandora & Spotify for Music was easy too. ~so i bought a second Echo for another room.. I now have them in sinc to play music through the house. Voice recognition works well too. THE CONS: this uses a lot of data. If yours is unlimited..no problem. I don't use the Echo (Alexa) much during the week but play music for hours on weekends. I was on a 1GB plan prior to owning Echo.. now I have upped my plan to 6GB & may have to go a bit higher. ~just FYI. But still, no Regrets! ~Love it!!

I really love my Amazon Echo. It respond to voice really well. It is constantly updating and getting better with more and more features. It can play music, tell jokes, control lights, etc. It is pretty awesome.

Highly recommend. Easy to set up and Alexa is so much fun to use. Love her daily jokes and love to ask her to play any music. We bought a second one so that we don't have to keep moving her throughout the house.

I was NOT expecting this product to perform so well. Sleek design,compact, and easy installation make this product well worth the money. The only thing I was a little turned off by is that you cannot fully customize the wake name..yet..and you cannot connect it via Bluetooth to a soundbar/extra speaker. The overall performance of the sound that comes out of it is surprisingly great though. I just wanted more. I got over not being able to add more speakers pretty easily though. It's that good. I might suggest however adding a Harmony Home hub with it so you can REALLY take advantage of the voice features. It was my understanding that the echo can pair with the hub so you can control more items. I'm going to set that up today so it is NOT verified just yet.

I held off purchasing the echo for many reasons, not the least of which was the uncertainty about the state of voice recognition and AI accurate responsiveness. My only regret now is that I didn't buy the echo sooner than I did. I love her, I mean it! Every day I'm integrating the echo into my life and into my home more and more. I even purchased a second one for the bedroom. The one drawback is that I sometimes have to repeat myself a few times before I'm understood. I have found that the more voice training I do, the less frequent I have this problem. And, right out of the box I was surprised at just how accurately Alexa understood and instantly responded with relevant, accurate, and timely information. Yes, I am crazy 'bout Alexa! 8)

Really enjoy using Alexa for all my home automation

Very neat device easy to use and. Has great sound .

Easy to connect and program. Lives up to the hype..

Bought this for the wife because she listens to music all the time. She enjoys the hands free aspect, especially while cooking. Myself and the kids enjoy messing with it by asking various questions - Siri is more fun to argue with though. pretty easy to set up and use, great gift for those who are hard to buy for.

I thought i wanted, but not sure as didn't know who had 1. Found out neighbor did - & saw how much easier it made things - no more note pads, can tell it to remind me about things etc. Perfect for my schedule

Does so many things. Very happy with this purchase!
