    was not sure what to expect as im generally not too savvy with technology. this amazon echo product is fairly easy to get started using and can be really helpful when you are multi tasking. I normally don't have a free hand and when you cant have your tablet with you at all times, the amazon echo fills that void quickly. I would suggest everyone with the internet to have one of these in their homes.

    I got one for my wife since several of our friends have one and they spoke highly of it. It's sometimes hit and miss with Alexa but overall, it's nice to have something that can set timers for the kids, play music, and as the software improves, I can see this being even better. The integration of the Skills and functionality could certainly improve but overall, it's one of those convenience things that you can live without it but it sure is nice. Since we have a bunch of kids, we have elected to turn off the online ordering just to be on the safe side.

    Hands free dimming of lights. Music on demand. Podcasts, weather forecasts, and news in a glowing circular flash. I wish Alexa could do a task at the set time. "Play Flash Briefing at 6:15 a.m. every weekday" gets a stumped response. But Alexa can do multiple repetitive alarms so its surely just a matter of time. You should get an Echo but wait for a sale. Then maybe get two Echos.

    The first thing I noticed about the echo wasn't speaker is very loud and clear. I can hear it from a good distance away. I'm upstairs in my house I can hear the speaker which is on the bottom floor. She responds to my music request how to make shopping list tells me the weather and gives me daily news updates I like this better than the Google home assistant since the speaker so much better

    My wife gave this to me for Christmas. She try's to find some tech that I have never heard about. I'm not sure what happened or how I missed this coming out. This is by far my favorite gift in over 20 years of marriage. I was completely unaware of the Amazon Echo. I'm so glad she bought it for me. It's amazing all the things works with it. Thank you sweetheart for buying this for me!!

    This is the future, Siri/Cortina did help us, but it did not had open API access for customizing. Amazon took that opportunity and release Echo. Great product, lots of new commands coming out per week. Works with your existing home automation systems. This product did level set for any future product like Google Home.

    I purchased the Amazon Echo 2 months ago mostly for my wife. She spends time in the kitchen and adjoining living room and I wanted her to be able to easily listen to music, check on the weather, ask about recipes, etc. We have enjoyed using the Echo and it has performed very well. The sound is excellent as is the voice recognition. I would recommend it, especially when on sale.

    I started out crazy hesitant about the product seeming skeptical of the voice recognition being overdramatized. It hears me while a song is very loud. As well as the information pre-downloaded is awesome. Just for music alone it's awesome. Everything else, which is not able to be explained is far beyond worth the money. It's an underpriced item and I plan to buy 1 more.
