    I bought this product due to recommendations from friends. To say the least, my wife was not sold on the idea. I have loved it from the start and I notice my wife is beginning to use it more. It is a resource tool as well as a source of entertainment.

    Easy to set up for use and to add skills to personalize Alexa for you own use. Turn on lights, get the news, sports and weather by asking. A nice addition.

    I got this for my wife for Christmas. She loves it! We both use it. This one is set up in our living room and because we love it so much I got the Dot for the bedroom. Still have to connect features for the smart home. We use the echo every day for a timer while we are cooking or just to play music. There is not need for an external speaker with this model. It has great sound with decent bass and treble. Don't worry about volume either... at half way volume the echo has no problem filling the entire room with nice and full music. I would buy 4 more of these if it would go on sale again!!

    So I have now purchased two Amazon Echos from Best Buy. I have one upstairs and one down stairs. My main reason for the purchase was for home automation. I have previously installed several WEMO switches and bulbs in the house and wanted to take advantage of Alexa's ability to control them. Works really well, however I didn't realize she can't control the WEMO bulbs. Hopefully this is something that will come soon. I ask her about the weather, add items to my shopping list, set reminders, listen to music, and use the alarm function to wake me up. So far it's a great buy. Totally recommend this.

    You can pay a nominal monthly fee for Alexa to play tons of music. I also have it set up for Alexa to control all the lighting in the house. Works great.

    I saw this come up on the deal of the day and didn't know it's capabilities. Connected in less than 1 minute to my wireless network and it was up and running. The microphones pick up my voice from across the room and I can even connect the blue tooth speaker to my apple products iPhone and iPad! Has huge music playback from all the services, Pandorra , iHeart, Amazon Prime and others. I haven't even used 10% of its capabilities. I also control my remote Ecobee3 thermostats. Waiting for the next deal of the day so I can get a few more of these for upcoming Holiday and Birthday gifts!
