    Using Alexa for mostly music but also for weather, tides and research. Love not having to make up my own playlist. I can just ask her to play a musician I think of any given day. Very spontaneous!

    I love my Amazon Echo! The sound is phenomenal. She is very responsive and is so easy to use. We love ordering from Amazon with it, using it to teach our kid animal noises and even playing games!

    If you haven't been around an Amazon Echo, you definitely need to test one out. They can do so much, from just talking to it and having it answer questions, to ordering pizza, adjusting your thermostat, turning off lights, changing tv channels it does it all. It will turn you completely lazy. :)

    Everyone should own an Amazon Echo. My Echo is like having someone that does exactly what you ask quickly without having to think about it or give you any back talk :). I love my Amazon Echo! This is beyond anything I've used in the past. I find myself relying on it more than I do any other device in my house. The entire family enjoys it. We are planning to purchase a couple more to have on each floor of the house. We love it! If you have been thinking about buying one and haven't, you should pick one up today. You'll be glad you did! A great device/friend the entire family will enjoy! By the way, ordering fast food delivery is one of my family's favorite ask! :)

    My 88-year-old sister-in-law spends many hours each day alone. She has macular degeneration and is not able to read or use a computer. The Amazon Echo has been a "friend and companion" by making it possible for her to get answers quickly to all the questions on her mind and to select music that she wants to hear.

    I use Alexa for fun facts, listening to music and telling weather. I also use it to turn on and off some Wemo lights I installed. I bought this one as a gift for a close friend, and she loves it too.

    This device is awesome if you already have a prime subscription. It allows you to have SIRI like functions and even order direct from amazon. Speaker doesn't sound bad either. I would recommend this item if you also have smart plugs to turn on and off small appliances or lights.

    A friend had Amazon Echo in his home and I felt it was an amazing device based on the number of features it currently has. E.g. music, answer various questions that are asked of it and new features continually being added. Therefore, I just had to have one and purchased Echo from Best Buy.

    This space is getting more crowded all the time, but Amazon was first out of the gate and also gives it the most attention. Echo has gotten smarter and better almost every week and I'm excited to see what comes next. Sound quality out of this unit is also amazing. No need for extra speakers like with the dot. This is an all-in-one unit. Add spotify or a free iheartradio account, and if you have Amazon Prime you'll be amazed at how many songs this little device can play. I use it every day to control lights, set timers, alarms, and more. Echo has become a device that I now can't live without, which I initially thought was just a toy. It's now my favorite kitchen appliance!

    We have 2 Echo's, one in the living room and the other upstairs. Alexa will not only play whatever music you ask her to, but she will tell you the weather, a joke, is a timer, an alarm clock, keeps a grocery list, will notify someone of your choosing of an emergency at home, is a companion for an elderly person, or even keep a paraplegic company just by using their voice. There are hundreds of Apps that you can download, that enables Alexa to do on your command. We use the Echo everyday and have listened to our favorite songs from our past as well as current hits and/or radio stations. She has become a welcome addition to our home. Buy one, you won't regret it.
