Alexa is great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We are very pleased with the Amazon Echo. The sound quality when you use it to play music is great. I have used it for a timer in the kitchen and that is a big help. This was purchased by my husband for me as a birthday gift and I am very happy with it and so is he. Jeopardy is fun to play.

Great gadget
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty good sound for a mono speaker. Hears us clearly from many feet away. Use it to stream music from Pandora. Actually love this thing. We linked a really good blue tooth speaker to it and the sound is great. Be aware that you can only link one other blue tooth device to the Echo.

And the beat goes on
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Alexa is great to have around! Especially if you have Amazon Prime... literally the music will go ALL day until you ask her to stop! Best Buy had an incredible price on her. The echo does a variety of things besides play music. If you are into gadgets, this will not disappoint you!

Thank you amazon
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product is awesome point blank. It still needs improvement in the conversation AI in order to be able to have that extreme edge over the google home. But overall I love the home automation that is compatible with the product. Most importantly how well this behaves with vivint.

Good Quality and Good Price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound quality and very sleek to fit into any room décor. Due to the price reduction during the holidays, I ranked it a 5 versus a 4 if the regular price was applicable to my purchase. Satisfied enough to purchase two Amazon Dots for my family as Christmas stuffers...which they loved.

Great device for information and amuzement
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Echo is a great device to have if you need an answer to a question or need the weather report, etc. One of the best uses I have found so far is the creation of a shopping list. As you think of items for a shopping list, just tell Alexa and she will add it to your list which you can recall later just before going to store. It is fun to ask Alexa trivia questions or use her for other fun tidbits of information.

Great gift for dad
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have several in my home and my dad was intrigued by them and how they can be used for the smart home. Got one for him for Father's Day and he loves it. First step for him in setting up his own smart home. Next is the Samsung smart hub, hue bulbs, schlage connect and nest thermostat.

Just ok
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Maybe I expected too much. Alexa will answer your general questions regarding the weather and things like that, but if you want anything more you have enable That skill on your phone or iPad. when you ask the question you have to remember the skill name and how to ask it in order for Alexa to answer. It’s a lot more trouble than I thought. There are a lot of skills that you can enable, but you have to remember exactly how to ask the question per the skill in order to get an answer

Amazing Tech
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My family and I love the various ways you can use the Echo. Music, sports, weather, fun facts....you name Echo has you covered. The biggest gripe is having to pay a monthly fee to access music. The Echo sounds great and is pretty simple to set up.

Amazon Echo
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love my new Amazon Echo, Alexa. I hooked her up with my new Philips Hue Lights and it's amazing to tell her to turn on/off lights throughout the house. I love when I walk down into the kitchen in the morning and say hello to her, she gives me a history lesson, a joke, the weather, etc.

Love the echo!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I now have voice controlled home using my echo and smart devices! Listening to any song I like in seconds using my Amazon Prime is probably the thing I love the best! We put it in our kitchen which is central to our living space and echo picks up all of our commands from any room downstairs!

Alexa plays my music and makes calls
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love that I can play all my Pandora stations with just one command! Sound quality is excellent, she'll change the volume with a simple request. She hasn't been so quick to answer all my questions, but I may not be asking correctly. Makes phone calls from my iPhone. Really fun.
