    I bought this as an alternative to my previous rechargeable Bluetooth speaker. Seemed like every time I went to use it the battery was dead. Echo is always plugged in and ready to go, and the interface is an added bonus. For $4 a month I subscribed to Amazon unlimited and just request Alexa to play songs to my hearts desire. I use it as a clock to wake me up in the morning, and control my lights! Highly recommended!

    I purchased the Amazon Echo for my parents for christmas after they saw it at a friends house a few months ago. My dad, who is not technology savvy in the slightest, loved it! It's so much fun asking Alexa different questions, or using the trivia on her. If you want to play a song you can just tell her. She'll find it or playing something similar if she can't find the exact match. My parents love the Echo. I do too!

    Alexa can do almost everything & is constantly learning & that's just the app. The echo itself is fantastic speaker when player music. It's almost lifelike & is seems to be like the Star Trek shipboard computer. Its great for the kids of any age to help with homework. Its great to take notes, create shopping list, music, or questions of any kind. In fact it'sgreat for most anything... It's simply awesome

    I was intrigued by this device and wanted to give it a try. I also have the Bose sound link mini and have to say the sound quality for music is better on the Bose if music is the sole reason for your purchase. For information and requesting a quick song or radio station, this thing rocks. You have to take time letting Alexa learn your voice but overall, the voice recognition is much better than Siri. My one complaint is that it doesn't sync with my Apple Calendar. Come on Amazon, cut a deal with Apple! Anyway, I give this a thumbs up and a 4 star rating. Get one. You won't have buyer's remorse.

    I have 3 dots and kinda stayed away from the echo, because seriously its the same thing except with a giant speaker. However I was super super wrong with how useful that giant speaker is, for one this thing is loud. At 10 I can hear it at the other side of a 2 story 3500 sq ft house. (like its next to me practically) The quality is incredible and the voice detection on it is awesome. Best purchase of the year!
