LOVE ALEXA!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This has to be one of the best technology purchases I have made. Honestly, I was simply looking for a good quality Bluetooth speaker when I found the Echo. It was around the same price range as the speakers I already had under consideration, but Echo does so much more. I purchased the Lifx lights for my home (wifi connectivity) and control them via Echo. "Alexa turn on the bathroom light" or "Alexa change hall light to blue" I love it. The sound quality for music is fantastic and the Amazon music library is packed full of all of my favorite songs. I also use echo to check the location of my packages, get news and weather updates every morning while I get ready for work and keep an easy to use shopping list. Seriously love this thing.

So good, I have 5 around the house
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own 2 Echos and 3 Echo Dots. I gave my black Echo to my mother in law who is in a retirement place. She cannot see well so she uses "Alexa" to listen to music and read books from my Amazon Prime account. I replaced my beautiful, tall, black Echo with an Echo Dot on my desk and use a Bluetooth speaker to get great sound. The White Echo is downstairs in my wife's office. We have one Dot in the bedroom one in the family room. Alexa hears commands from the closest Echo and performs almost flawlessly. The tall Echos have wonderful speakers with tremendous bass. You can even tell the tall echos to set volume from 1 to 10 (max). Great product. Echo accesses my Pandora account as well as some smart devices around the house.

Great assistant for simple things
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am very pleased with the purchase. I use Alexa to listen to my favorite TuneIn radio station in a foreign country, set timers when I'm cooking, ask the time in different cities in the world or basic culture questions. She responds to everything. If I want to play music, she will default to Amazon Prime. If you have the membership, it is very convenient to have Alexa. I have even placed orders on Amazon with my voice. I also have Hue lights so Alexa is the one turning off my house lights at the end of the day...ah, and I can ask her to do so from the upstairs level. I think this purchase is one of the best I've made this year. I am sure there is much more to tap on (no pun intended), and I'll find out as I use Echo more. For now, I totally recommend.

Great product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Echo works very well for the music lover and children that like to ask it questions. I tried it out for a few weeks and I decided it wasn't for me. I seldom listen to music unless I'm in my car. It was too much money to just sit there idle. It is a great product for the right person and it has a lot of potential.

Great Alexa Voice Service
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the small Echo Dot & this was an addition. The speaker is so much better then the Dot & I was able to connect them together so I can hear my music in both rooms. Love the Amazon Echo. Great purchase.

Echo and Alexa Rocks!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Literally rocks! Besides the home automation capabilities (tied in with my Harmony Hub and my SmartThings Hub), Echo is a great sounding speaker that will play you millions of songs from Amazon Prime Music.

Love!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Simple and easy to use. Effective helper in making lists. Cant do much else for you but the speaker is good. Giving it 4 stars because I like my Echo Show better, just not the same quality in this compared to the Show so I feel that for the money you're better off going for the Show off the bat.

The brains of my smart home.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love that Alexa can be controlled without having to press any buttons. She has a decent amount of range that she can hear your commands from. It does take some timing to get used to her, but soon enough, you'll being to reap all the benefits of an Amazon Echo. Currently I have two Wemo plugs and Phillips Hue lightbulbs set up to my Echo and plan on adding more Alexa-compatible smart devices. I love how easy and seamless it is to get all my devices working off Alexa. It's also a bluetooth speaker and can get very loud. I love that it can connect to my amazon playlist or my spotify playlist and can play any song I want that is available. I highly recommended it to everyone that comes in my home and love to show what she can do.

Better than Google Home
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Echo is more polished and ahead of the curve. It integrates well with my smart lights and plays music through Spotify. Needs integration with my Fire Stick, but Harmony Hub is a great solution for this for now.

Really entertained
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The accuracy it has understanding the words is really good and clear. small thing I didn't like is to make her higher to max volume, you need to repeat it like 7 to 10 times; also in max volume is you must be really close to it so it could listen to you. (planning on buying the remote control soon)
