Was Surprised by Sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Echo is a very good addition to our home. Very easy to use, setup was a bit of challenge to get to my WiFi, but once I understood (I am 64), what it was trying to do, it went smooth and easy. We have had a few really good laughs as we put it through some paces, but really glad we made the purchase

Love it...!!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got the Amazon Echo and the Dot to supplement it. Although they say that the Echo can hear from all over, it really can't. It depends how far you are and how loud the surroundings are (ie. television or stereo on or even if the Echo is playing loud music itself). So, I got the Dot for my bedroom and it works just fine. It's a little complicated to setup to the wifi but once I figured it out (I needed to turn off the automated wifi connection on my smartphone), it worked like a charm. After the Echo is connected to the wifi, you can turn the automatic wifi back onto your phone. I'm just getting started to using it with my Smart Home automation. So far, I can turn on/off & dim my lights in my living room with just my voice. Love it...!!! Once I get more bulbs for my bedroom and hallway, I'll add those too. It just gets expensive at $29.99 - $49.99 per bulb!!! Also, I wish you could re-name/call it something other than Alexa, Amazon or Echo. Nothing personal but it doesn't make sense since there's a box to enter the "name". So for now, "she's" Alexa.

Echo is a worthwhile upgrade from the Dot
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had receive an Echo Dot as a present. Its only real weakness was that it was not a good enough sound quality for music. I messed around with external speakers by Blutooth and hard wired, nothing was convenient.. The sound quality on the Echo is good enough for casual listening of music and news.

Amazing tool for the home
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Having all that information at my fingertips is so handy. We were always looking up info on our phones, now we just ask Alexa. Tying it into the home makes life so much easier. I don't have to get out of bed because I left the lights on in the other room or adjusting the temp. in the middle of the night.

Excellant!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This probably the most amazing electronic device I have in the home. Only thing that would make it better was if I could connect it to sound bar for a little better sound but this thing will answer almost anything. Well worth the money. Everyone should have at least one - we have 2 now and will buy more.

Great sound volume for music
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Once we downloaded Pandora and iHeartRadio and others on the Echo app we can listen to virtually anything. The kids like to ask Alexa to tell jokes, search facts and request music! I'm always asking her the time and she sets my alarm! So nice to not have to get up to do something. She's awesome!

Game changer!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Echo is amazing and has already changed how we enjoy our home! From asking Alexa to turn on the lights in the morning to looking up the star of the movie that we are watching The Echo is a valuable asset to our family. I am going to purchase the Dot and we just added a Tap to complete our Smarthome.

Awesome addition to our home!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I never knew our family would enjoy the Echo so much! My wife wanted one bad and Mother's Day was quickly approaching. At first I thought it was expensive and redundant to the technology we already have in our home. Boy was I wrong!! I would highly recommend it to anyone. It's now a member of our family!! Haha

An assistant for everyone
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've often said that everyone needs staff. Unfortunately, most of us can't afford to have someone at our beck and call. Well with the echo and Alexa you can and there's almost nothing it can't do. Well except for picking up the dry cleaning, but I suspect an Amazon drone will do that soon too.

Returned but not bc it was defective
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I return this product because within one month of purchasing, the new Amazon echo came out. I will give it four stars because Best Buy exchanged it without any problems.

Great for help around the kitchen
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this to specifically put in my kitchen to help me keep timers and convert measurements. The shopping list is an awesome addition as well whenever I finish something that I regularly use in my kitchen. Would definitely recommend for any cook and it's only going to get better with firmware updates!

Great device
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I ordered this for a person that has very limited use of his hands and this voice activated device has made a huge difference in his life. Had Geek squad set up with the Harmony Home Companion and now he can adjust and change the TV channels without assistance. Made a huge difference in his life.

Great for any home
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love Alexa, I use it mostly to play music, and listen to the weather. I have a slight lisp in my voice and she understands me perfectly, where siri does not. The sound quality is remarkable, and the volume 10 (the highest) is incredibly loud. We use it daily and would replace it if ever didn't work.

Great quick online search tool
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this as gift for my wife. She wasn't sure about it in the beginning but now loves it. She uses it for shopping list and simple searches. She even connected the Christmas lights and uses Alexa to turn them on and off. Always learning about new features and so far we have been happy with each one.

Great. Home Assistant
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was hesitant at first to purchase the echo bec of my experience with the Apple Siri. But I asked around from people who has it and I got good reviews. Alexa is always there to answer me, quick response and could understand even people with accent.Great product specially at the price I got..
