    I simply love the echo for its sound and usefulness. Ask her anything and she'll find the answer. Ask her to play music and she will!

    I looked into many reviews before buyin this device bec I wasn't convince at first, twas initially offered by Amazon for $199 then with Prime for $99 but missed all those deals bec it was a newcomer in the gadget arena so I waited for awhile but should've grab it when it was launched bec Alexa is just amazing and makes u a bit of a master by his good capture voice commands, ask anything and it will answer the best way it can, maximize with Prime membership and u have a great music entertainment! Great Buy!!

    Echo, a neat tool

    The Amazon echo is a great way to ease into the Home automation field. While the Echo works great for playing music and getting the weather or sports news, it does take a bit ow work to connect it to "smart" devices. My home had a NEST thermostat, and could not get the echo to connect. I spent time searching the web, followed a the steps in a couple YouTube videos, and still could not make the connection. I stumbled across the IFFFT(?) website, which was the solution I chose to link the two devices.

    I am amazed with this item, all the tasks it's capable of doing. What I especially like is that I can name it (4) different ways. I'm still recovering from cancer of the tongue and have a hard time pronouncing certain words. I have a hard time with Alexa, Echo and Amazon. With the addition of COMPUTER, it works perfectly. Very happy with this purchase!!!

    This item is great and fun to play with. I bought it for my daughter for Christmas and she loves it. Will probably purchase one for myself. I think it's nice to tell it to cut off the lights and turn down the music your playing without having to get up and cutit off. I love it when my son yells from his room and Ithe an hear him and does what it is told.

    I absolutely love my amazon echo! The echo has so many features, it really is like having a personal assistant. You can get music, news, books and more on demand. The echo is easy to link to any accounts, and easy to link up with any home devices compatabile with the echo. The sound quality is great, and the range is excellent as well. Highly recommend!!

    This is my second Echo. I have one in the living room that I use every day and needed one for the bedroom. I never thought I'd need a product like this but It has become an integral part of daily way of life. The sound is great. I use it for my alarm, to get weather info, and latest news. I plan on getting my lights and thermostat connected. A+

    I have been wanting an Amazon echo for quit sometime. It is everything and more then what I hoped for. It's an incredible speaker on top of being the best source for all information. The kids even enjoy Alexa playing games and singing songs. It keeps my life more organized and more entertaining. Best money I have ever spent on my love of gadgets.

    I had been looking into getting an Amazon device, and I was torn between the Echo and the Dot. I ended up getting the Echo and it has not disappointed! The sound from it is a very nice quality and I love asking Alexa to turn on the lights (you have to purchase other things to do this), play music, what the weather is like, etc. Overall a great purchase!

    Alexa has been a nice addition to our home devices. I originally thought I would use her more for playing music, but am finding that I am using her more and more every day from checking the weather, traffic to work, changing the temp on our Nest, news, checking local hours for various stores....the list goes on and on. Very pleased with my purchase.
