The future is...well pretty much now!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really didn't know what to expect when I picked up an echo. I understood that it was a Wifi/Bluetooth enabled speaker that had Siri like capabilities but it really ended up being so much more. Truly you can hands free do everything from get basic info that you would normally look up on google to controlling your connected home to resupplying toilet paper through Amazon. Of course it has its novelty items like telling you jokes to singing you happy birthday. Truly this is the beginning of having an 'Iron Man' home. Just needs some fine tuning in its voice recognition and more features. Excited to see what Amazon adds to it in the future!

worthwhile addition to my electronic toys
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I should have bought the Echo when it was released.. I was skeptical as to its value in my home. A friend had a Dot and liked it OK but didnt use it much after awhile. I decided to try it for myself and bought a Dot. I liked it enough to buy a Tap for bedroom.. I was not to impressed with the audio so naturally I purchased the Echo. The Dot is somewhere and I use the Tap and Echo every day. timers, news, music, weather, spell something, etc,

Great device
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hands free operation at it's best. I have my Philips Hue hooked up to it (operating my kitchen and family room lights) as well as Pandora, iHeartRadio and my Nest. I have been using it for the past two weeks and I love it. The only issue I have experienced so far has been when I asked Alexa to turn on my family room lights, only one of the two bulbs turned on. This however, might be an issue with the Philips Hue hub. Other than that this has worked out great.

Our new family member
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Echo (Alexa) is now an integrated part of our family. We have converted our home into a 'smart home' and she is the maestro(a)! Can't imagine managing a household without her now.

Amazing Product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love, love, love my Echo; so much so, that we purchased a second one for the basement the next day. Alexa is awesome! She is intelligent, smart and actually has a sense of humour. She converts Fahrenheit to Celsius, and can perforrm simple Mathematical calculations. She saves me time by not having to look it up on my smartphone. And of course, once you set up Pandora, you can ask her to play songs by your favourite artist. Go Alexa!

Best invention since the iPhone!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Funny thing since Steve Jobs has passed away techies have been waiting for the next great thing from apple and sadly its more of the same well Amazon did all techies a favor with this invention something Apple should have done with Siri but didn't. Hands free Alexa who hears your command 99 percent of the time instead of 50 haha aka Siri. Team this up with a smart hub like Phillip lightbulbs and a nest system and a harmony hub and you living like Ironman.

Simply the best...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Initially I bought the Amazon echo to take it for a test drive. Just to see what all the hype was about. After about a week of playing with the device. I bought an Amazon echo for my bonus room, my living room, and my bedroom. I am simply amazed at what the Amazon echo can do. I am a lifetime Apple product supporter but this device here is simply the best I've seen so far. Pair the echo with a smartthings hub....then ask Alexa and its done.

An amazing helper!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for my 87 year old nother who lives alone and I have to say it has far exceeded my wildest dreams. It is easy to learn, easy to train, and has a wealth of aps and tricks you can teach it. I feel like my mom is far safer now with this in the living room and the dot in the rear of the house. Better yet, it actually keeps track of what is asked so there is even a dianostic element to it that can aid in tracking decline in seniors.

Love my Echos
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love my Echos. I'm a 75 year old widow and I have 2 Echos and 3 Dots in various rooms. I can listen to audio books in the kitchen when I'm cooking and eating or in the laundry room. I play Jeopardy and listen to Country and Western music. At night when I'm trying to doze off, I tell Alexa to play music to help me relax and go to sleep. I tell her to wake me up at a certain time and then I ask what's on my calendar for that day.

Larning curve and Sound is good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wish it was a little smarter right out of the box. Most of the questions I asked it at first it couldn't answer. Don't call her stupid. I did and she was still listening and she told me she is still learning. I actually started to feel bad I said it. I told her I was sorry and she forgave me for it. My wife listens to music everyday and it sounds great. The built in mics can pick up your voice from just about anywhere in the room and you don't have to raise your voice. After I did a little research and read up about all of the things it can do I could spend month's and still not use all of the features.

Quite cool- and will keep getting better
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a very cool toy! Honestly the only main reason I actually pulled the trigger is smart light bulbs. I bought philips Hue bulbs and they all work flawlessly. Alexa will fail maybe 1 in 30 times. if that. Coolest thing is- I use a couple of the basic skills like timer and weather, and alarm, but they are constantly releasing new skills and improving the overall experience. So ...it's already good...and only going to improve with each update
