    I bought it a couple months ago and it has been good at home. I still think more development needs to be done because does not have good answers for around half of the times we use it, but getting there. Looking forward for the next generation.

    I have one Alexa to my daughter and one to my son. Both of their families love it. It's like having an auditory Google always at your fingertips. It connects to their Fitbit and my Amazon Fire. It makes us now want to turn our house into a Smart Home so we can get it to turn off and on lights and do all of the other fun things it can do. And it tells knock-knock jokes that have my kids howling with laughter.

    I play music from my playlist and use the timer to keep time for my morning yoga exercises.. I listen to Pandora radio stations - morning raga, evening raga, jazz, instrumental, Bollywood and other radio stations. I check weather locally in Michigan, other locations in USA and abroad - Mumbai, India. I ask for movie show times and theater locations. I use the alarm feature often for appointments.

    Love the Echo!! Wonderful speaker... Great news briefs feature. Adding the music unlimited plan really adds quite a bit to this product. Its even great to listen to any radio station that is based virtually anywhere. AM stations never sounded better! :-) Hooking it up to the Nest and Phillips Hue lights increases functionality. We just bought the remote for the bedroom, which is proving very useful as well!

    The Amazon Echo was easy to setup straight out of the box, and my family began using it immediately. We are learning new things it can do every week. The sound quality is amazing, and this has become the primary music source for my house. When purchasing, I would have preferred a black Echo, but white is all this Best Buy had at the time (before Xmas), but white looks very clean on our kitchen counter where it sits. There are some words Alexa is still struggling with understanding, but we do have a bit of a Texas drawl, so I think we're getting used to each other.

    I have enjoyed my Echo that I received as a birthday present from my girls back on August 15. I love the fact that I can just speak a command and it is done.

    It took me a good 6 months to finally purchase one of these but now I am so glad I did! I can ask Alexa anything I would normally Google, set a timer for cooking, listen to music, etc. I've just purchased so I know there's so much more that can be done and I really look forward to learning more about the product. I've "liked" the Alexa FB page which gives me new things to try each day. Love this item!

    I bought a couple of dots first since I wasn't sure I wanted to spend the money. We enjoyed the dots so much, I bought us an Echo. The speakers are so much better on the Echo than on the Dots, which I already knew from reviews. I have it in my kitchen and can listen to all kinds of music while I am cooking. Echo will tell you jokes, news and weather as well. Very happy with this purchase.

    The Amzon Echo is like a dream come true. Everyone in my house feels like we live in some future movie. We use it everyday to get our news, weather, cooking timer, control our lights, control our AC and listen to music over Spotify, all with just our voice. It's useful to get quick wiki info or even just for a joke. The kids love to play paper rock and scissors with her. My only regret is I don't have another!

    Absolutely love the Amazon Echo! I work from my home office quite often and have my Echo sitting on the desk next to me. From playing music, searching for a number or address, checking the weather or asking a quick question... it's like having a co-worker/personal assistant by my side. The big difference is I can get what I need quickly and eliminate the need for unproductive small talk.
