    I had purchased a Google Home first and was disappointed that Google Home would not play my music that I had uploaded to Google Play. The Amazon Echo will play uploaded music to amazon. Would recommend this over Google Home however I am sure that they will update the Google Home to be able to play uploaded music since it just came out.

    Like the games I can play with her. Her jokes are ok. She gives me a word of the day every morning so I am able to learn.

    The sound from this unit is just incredible and with almost 20 million songs for $3.99 to $7.99 a month depending on the Amazon plan, it just doesn't get any better. Add in the fact it controls all the lights in my home, my Samsung robot vacuum and can answer almost any question I ask her, it is hard to imagine life without my Alexa...

    I cant think of enough things to ask Alexa to do for me. We are constantly listening to music from my youth (1960's). She (it) actually tells me jokes, it is like having another person in the house with you. She (it) also provides me with the current and future weather both in my area or anywhere else I might be interested in.

    I purchased the Amazon Echo, and the Harmony Elite remote control as part of my new automated smart home devices. I love being able to control my TV and Entertainment system simply by saying Alexa. However, It is my opinion that these systems are not completely bug free and will probably be improved over time. In addition, setting up Amazon Echo can be time consuming if you are not technologically inclined. Overall, the Amazon Echo is smart home dream come true.

    Great impulse purchase, have enjoyed setting this up as my first smart home device and linking all the other systems through it. Easy to set up and easy to set up with my smart home devices. It's be one of the most enjoyable devices having here at the house. Nice to be able to control different things around the house by just using my voice.

    So far we use it for entertainment and it has not disappointed! We have found every genre of music and many obscure musicians with it. Have some privacy concerns, but overall for music and jokes, it is fun! My wife has discovered new songs, due to an occasional misinterpretation, but always fun enjoy. Great for waking us up also!

    Originally figured this would be almost a toy, but as I easily started connecting the Echo to my existing home automation components I realized this would become a key part of my home. Throw in the different connections the Echo can make (with my car, for example) and you now have an essential component to your day...absolutely worth it!

    Got the Echo home and immediately set it up and started to use it. Linked my smart devices and spent a few minutes testing the lights, thermostat, etc. All worked extremely smooth and the sensitivity of the microphone was great. My kids spent the afternoon taking turns asking Alexa to play "Who Let the Dogs Out." Fun times.

    If you are a conspiracy theorist this product is not for you. It does listen and even responds when you don't ask questions. Overall great product with a growing product line it can control.
