Customer Ratings & Reviews

It works as expected. Voice commands work fairly well. Everyone in the family enjoys talking to it. The search engine that Alexa uses isn't terribly useful. However, we use it to stream a variety of radio stations and other audio. Hopefully down the road we will be incorporating it more into our daily life.

I use my Echo everyday. Alexa has become part of my life from telling me the time, the weather, playing music, setting timers and alarms, giving me a news brief, turning my lights or portable heater on/off, playing games, and so much more. Her voice control works very well and is very responsive. The sound quality is very good. New skills are automatically added all the time.

This product is so fun! We got it for my Dad for his birthday and he hooked it up right away and everyone had fun trying to stump Alexa! Also, we played every type of music, and she got information on a restaurant for us and you can control volume and everything by voice command. It is the first "robot" we have in our home!! Highly recommend this product. I am buying another one today!

I like the ease of speaking to Alexis, she understand voice request even in a noisy room and she is able to distinguish between my voice and TV or radio. She can instantly fill most request for music and info and I love the stages when you set an alarm. I am a bit concern that she is not loyal to just my voice and anyone around her can input to her and override my music or commands

I like the hook up to play music but not what I expected. If I ask Alexa to play “Steely Dan” she’ll play one song then move onto another artist instead of continuing to play just Sterly Dan. But it’s still worth the money

Great sound and smart just wish the volume didnt have to b manually turned.

The Alexa is growing constantly in skills. It will easily get you into the new world of talking to machines and getting a intelligble response.

It has so much functionality and is so easy to use. The speakers are great so.

The Amazon Echo is wonderful It has great tone. It can do so many things. It can be a timer, a sleep timer, play music, games, give information and is compatible with smart devices for the house such as lights etc. This is the third "Echo" product we have. We have 2 Echo Dots that we also like. I highly recommend this product and also for smaller spaces the Echo Dot.

I highly recommend this to everyone! Easy to use! Fills the room with music.

I JUST SET IT UP TO CALL MY CHILDREN, YOU CAN SIT ON YOUR SOFA AND TELL IT TO CALL WHAT EVER PERSON YOU WANT AND YOU JUST TALK THRU THE UNIT .

Like to ask questions to Alexa without have to move from my chair. Really like the skills that relate to what I like and what I need.

We purchased the Echo originally when it was first available for prime members only. At the time it felt like a novelty toy and didn't do much. Since that time, it has had major advancements in it's capabilities. We now use it to control our lights, music as well as a personal digital assistant. I recently purchase one for my parents for Christmas, and they're loving it too.

The Amazon Echo is very useful for all sorts of things, like playing music, telling the time, doing arithmatic calculations, etc. etc. Paired with a smart plug, you can tell it to turn lights on or off (for example.) All this is great fun and the Echo is adding new "skills" to its capabilities every day. The Echo has a decent speaker for music. Highly recommended!

This is great for parents getting kids ready in the morning without time to check things in their phone like weather, traffic and reminders!

easy to set up and use. Parents loved it for xmas gift. Nice sound.

Great gadget for adults/kids with Internet questions and answers, alarm clock, timer, plays music, etc, and controlling home automation.

Alexa has been around awhile so it does what you would expect it to do. I was slightly less impressed with it only because I wasn't an amazon prime member, which limits is productivity. If you want a full experience with Alexa, you have to be a prime member. Since I mostly use google products already, it made sense for me to get the Home - which to me is a little bit more functional than Alexa only due to the Google search engine. Overall, if you're in the market for such a connected device, you can't go wrong with either

Wasn't sure if this product was too gimmicky or not but we've placed it in the kitchen and use it all the time. Still learning about all the things it can do but we get the news, weather, listen to our favorite music while cooking and ask it some dumb questions just for fun. It really does find almost every song you request and I just started a shopping list. Worth the cost!

I have had the Echo since Thanksgiving. I love asking "Alexa" questions like movie showtimes close by, or current sports scores. I also enjoy playing a round of Jeopardy once in a while. It makes it easy to listen to the radio and to play just about any song I want, even if I am not sure of the lyrics. It is one of those conveniences that you wonder how you did without it.
