Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love my Echo. I use it mostly for music but it doesn't everything I need it to! It's also very handy in the kitchen for things like timers, recipes and measurements

We learned about this from a friend who has one. We decided to give this to someone for his birthday but they did not want to use it so we had to return the item to Best Buy.

We love our new echo. Strong sound quality. Weather updates, alarm, internet details, and easy to use.

Better than I thought easy to set up small enough where it dosent take up much room and sound is good

I don't have a smart home, but it does so much more than that! I got mine strictly for my own entertainment! I have not been disappointed! My daughter has a smart home and I got to see what it did for her. While controlling her lights and thermostat is nice, I am happy with playing my favorite songs. It will give me the forecast as I lie in bed! It sang me happy birthday!!!! I am still finding all of the neat things it can do!!!

I purchased Echo on a lark after being intrigued by several reviews. I already owned two Harmony remotes (one is an Elite) and several automated light switches controlled through an Insteon hub from SmartHome. I can now control most of my lights and home theater with voice-control. Streamed Christmas music throughout the Christmas season and great for getting the weather and news. Of course, all devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network. Be careful if you're an Amazon Prime member, Echo responds to everyone. Have been issues reported that children have ordered products on Amazon without parents' knowledge.

I have the echo and use it often. I often ask it for the the weather, the time, and use it as a stop watch. I play music and ask it to tell me jokes, expecially around the holidays. I love holiday jokes!! I have yet to set it up to control my other household electronics, but that is on my list. It does so many things; I really need to make a list and keep it by my echo so I can remember some of them.

Alexa has become part of our family. The echo is a Bluetooth speaker with a personal assistant that can access a variety of tasks using Wifi. A must have for any Smarthome.

The Echo has become an integral part of our lives. From turning lights on/off to playing music, getting news briefs or sports score and asking it questions whether important or silly, Echo lives up to its expectations. If you are in to home automation it is a good solid start. Amazon adds new Skills by the day that you can enable from the free Alexa app. Once you buy an Echo you will want another another or 2 more. Skynet is here, Embrace it.

The sound is amazing,will do many things like your shopping list,tell jokes and many other things...

this speaker has loud and it is smart I can control my lights with it.

Really neat little device! We were an Apple only ecosystem family but Alexa is fitting in just fine. We used it for listening to music and getting the weather mostly but have since discovered the skills that can be enable through the Alexa app. We already had a harmony hub and with a little setup after enabling the harmony skill we can now control our home entertainment devices with our voice such as "Alexa, turn on Apple TV".

Opened the box and was able to quickly and easily hook up to my wifi. Great to play music through.

I bought this as a gift for my friend. I personally own 1 Alexa and 3 echo dots. This product is excellent, easy set up and easy to use. I would recommend this product over google home for one Alexa was the first to come out with this and a lot of tweeks and updates are posted in the email. I have my kitchen lights hooked up to Alexa and can use by dimming out my lights. Hope you will enjoy your Alexa as well as I did mine.

Great sound, love all of the things that connect with the echo. I use philips hue for turning off & on lights Wish it had a built in battery like the tap does

Easy setup, the speaker sounds great for music!! Alexa is quite responsive LOL and quite intelligent.

Great product the kids love it. We use it for music and news. Kids love to ask it to tell them jokes

I had a wink hub which i stopped using long time back as it was clunky, so when i saw the new echo i thought i will give it a try. Now not a day goes by when i dont use the Echo. I have connected my Kasa lights to Alexa, my phone, Bluetooth speakers (anything and everything). You can just ask Echo to turn off lights, turn it on, connect to your phone etc and Alexa will just do it. No more pulling out ur phone to play music!!!!

Bought Echo as gift for my (senior) dad. It's terrific & entertaining. A little difficult to install/ set up. The sound quality & voice recognition are amazing.

The Amazon Echo is a lot of fun to have. I use it for streaming music from Amazon and also as a Bluetooth speaker with my phone. Set up took about two minutes- very easy.. Getting it to play music is a lot easier and quicker than scrolling through my stored albums/artist. I'm going to try the 30 trial for Amazon's new music service. I expected it to have an even fuller range of music available. Also, my wife likes Alexa's jokes.
