    We now own 4 Echos. We have them in our bedrooms and living area. It really is an amazing device. We use it to turn many of our lights on and off, control our outside sprinkler system, wakes us up with alarms, listen to all kinds of music and other information. I also use it to monitor my Amazon purchases and buy things on Amazon that we have purchased before. I understand there now are over 1000 functions it can perform depending on what you desire. Once you get one you will wonder how you lived without it.

    I bought the Amazon Echo for my husband because he loves music. I was expecting the sound to be okay, but not for it to sound as good as it does. The speakers are of excellent quality. He is very pleased with the quality of the sound, as am I. Even though we use the Amazon Echo for mostly playing music, telling the forecast and adding items to our shopping list, to be perfectly honest, I’d love to have another one because we all use her all over the house and I hate having to unplug and move her.

    I have had an Amazon Echo since it came out and i Love it. I recently purchased a Google home and found at this moment it is not as good as the Amazon echo I'm sure the Google home Will get better over time but right now Alexa is the best. The sound that comes out of the Amazon Echo is better then the Google home plus you can connect Bluetooth to the echo but not the Google home. This black Friday (2016) I purchased another Echo and a few Echo Dots (Dots are a great price) and i could't be more happy.

    The echo is very fun and easy to use. My only complaint is that you need to go and enable a lot of the prompts or skills. Seems to me it should be able to go right out the box. But overall lot's of fun.

    I have more fun with this thing… I'm much more likely to play music or check the temperature or news, because Alexia is constantly attached to my network and is always charged and ready to go. There's no pairing required, so I simply call out her name and she responds. There is always a battle between me and my teenager, trying to outshout Alexa instructions, so we can hear the music that we like best!

    Can answer questions about anything found on the internet. Also plays music you request. Disappointed that it can't dial numbers via my cell phone though. A little expensive for what it does I think.

    Echo or Alexa from Amazon is smart and learns along with you. She is a nice gift for teens as well as seniors. It's the kind of thing you might think you didn't want or need until you get it and begin to use it. We like the sound quality of the speaker.
