Customer Ratings & Reviews

You have to purchase the power outlets, light switches, and other things for Alexa to communicate with. Once you do and setup them up, it works pretty well. You have to be careful if you put it near the TV where they might do a commercial or a story about it on the news, Alexa has pretty good hearing and perks up when she hears her name. Over all, easy to set up with the app and works pretty well. Takes some time getting used to asking Alexa to turn on or off the lights and not just reaching for the light switch.

It was easy set up. Really love the Echo and the quality of sound.

The whole family loves Alexa. Great speaker. Easy to setup and use.

Easy to set up and very convenient to operate. The sound is very good.

Easy to ask questions but she doesent always know the answer and to easy questions. My son asked her what a theme of a story was and she didn't know, there also has been some multiplication she doesent know either.

I love this, it has so much . Music, Weather. It is worth every penny.

This device is very easy to setup and use and has great sound quality!

I'm so excited when I got Alexa. She is hands free assistance. While I'm cleaning, I can speak commands to her or just ask questions. It's amazing how you can dual task. I wish Alexa could work on voice command through the app though. Like a Siri. I also can't wait for the Echo Dot to be released next month. I need one in every room. I would definitely recommend this.

Once everything gets synced, it's a lot of fun! It's a timer, alarm clock, etc., and I have Prime. I'm listening to music all the time!

Great speaker and Amazon is adding more functionality all the time

Hands free ask her anything and she'll answer and the speaker is loud

I bought this for my granddaughter for Christmas this year. She wanted it so I hope she is happy with it. The reviews were good for it.

this is a great item-- great speaker, can sync it up to your lights, etc

If you have different opinions, just forgot. This is really worth to buy. Especially if you have a kids, then they will enjoy it lot.

Great entertainment and easy to use. Great sound when playing music.

Echo's speech recognition and reach is very good. It finds lot of the things I want, however, it is difficult to use a bluetooth speaker as the setup doesn't always go smooth and cannot stream youtube etc media

Easy to use and very fun!! Use it for my PC speaker and it's awesome!!

Wasn't sure if my non-techie family member would get much use out of this, but still gave it to them as a birthday gift. I was so wrong to underestimate how much they would enjoy this product. They can't stop raving about it. They loved it so much that they also bought the echo dot to use in their bedroom. They like how simple and easy this is to setup and use.

I really enjoy the Echo and the power of Alexa. There are so many different skills that is has something for everyone and while it is used for home automation there are many things you can do with it if you don't have any other connected home devices. The only reason I give it a 4 out of 5 is that the speaker quality could be a little better for music. I competes in quality with bluetooth products in the $100-$150 range but systems like the Bose sound link mini are still superior in sound quality.

Easy to set up. Easy to use perfect for playing music on demand
