i love my alexa, i ask about the weather, traffic etc you can even ask it to tell you a joke. i have to learn how to utilize its functions a lot better but i like how user friendly it is.. it even notifies me when an amazon package was delivered

love these so much we now have 4 Echo (Kitchen, living room, basement and outdoor area) and 2 Dots for bedrooms. Now that they can play everywhere together it's great going from one room to another with music playing in all rooms when we are entertaining. Highly recommend!

Many people asked why I was getting an Echo when I had Siri on my iPhone that basically did the same thing. First, you set the Echo up and it is always there in the same spot. No more looking for my phone in the morning, holding it up to my face and asking about the weather and traffic. While I am shaving in the bathroom, I call out and ask about the weather and it tells me it. How convenient is that!

The echo has been on the market for a while. As a long time amazon customer I received one of the initial offers to purchase the echo before it was available to the general public for a low price of $100. Not knowing what it was I passed and regretted it ever since. So when I saw that Best buy was offering it for 89 I purchased it. They are adding functionality all the time good product.

Love this product. Gave one to my grandmother who is legally blind. Very helpful for her.

Have had some fun with it but it really is not very smart and sometimes just plain wrong. Did you know that all of Florida is in the Eastern Time Zone? And here I thought I lived it the Central Time Zone. Alexa does get the time right though and can share some good information and does ok with music. You just need to ask the right questions in the form she understands and then she does ok.

This is actually my second one. If you are between this or the echo dot -buy this unless you need the smaller size of the dot. The dot speaker is very poor, but you can connect to a Bluetooth speaker. But the speaker in this one is super!! Sounds as good as my Bose speaker

The Echo is in our kitchen and is a great device for listening to songs. The wife loves it and the kid likes to ask it questions about all kinds of different subjects. Got it on sale and for the price I could not pass it up. It was a great buy and very fun to have around.

Voice recognition is astounding with only a few hang ups, mostly because of my accent. Great app to aid Alexa in to-dos and lists. New skills are added often to even further Alexa's uses. Only thing I would change is the ability to connect to another Bluetooth speaker for Pandora Radio.

Works great with Amazon prime, and iheart radio. Bought a second one for the second floor

When I purchased my device and synced it. I was excited until my voice commands were not detected. One I pronounced Alexa name right (LOL) the she woke-up. The more I used commands with Alexa the easier it became. I am so happy about the purchase. This was a GREAT gift to me!

Easy to set up and easy to use. Use it to mostly to stream music and it sounds awesome!

Somewhat awkward to setup in Canada but once done it is an amazing source of useful features. Enjoy the link to my Spotify subscription and some of the new apps that are created for the Echo. It even has a sense of humour and sharp answers to stupid questions. Well worth the price.

great gave to my daughter as a gift she loves itplays it very often even for my grandson

Didn't think I would use it much, due to the my lack of use of Siri. However, this understands most things I ask and is fun for the family. It also doesn't responds to questions discreetly for things that kids could ask. example. Is Santa Real? Answer: I have never met him.

I love the convenience of using Alexa for anything from a timer to answering questions. Being able to get music on voice command is great as well, as I can pause and resume without grabbing my phone or a remote all the time. I would highly an Echo to anyone interested.

This is our 2nd Echo. My husband had to have his own for his use outside by the pool so when he wanted to find out something, he could just ask Alexa and find the answer all while laying in the pool and watching tv. Such a fun thing to have around and ask questions to.

The Echo is a great bluetooth speaker - fantastic base response. Of course, it gives you Alexa as well - which is sometimes very good - but other times disappointing. I wouldn't recommend this if you pay full price, but when Best Buy has a sale this can be a great deal.

Built very solid and sounds great! Alexa is gaining additional functionality every day!

Speaker and microphone works great. Works great with Samsung Smarthings. Search engine results could be better. I haven't had much luck at controlling my Dish Hopper consistently, but I may be doing something wrong on my end since I haven't used it with Dish very often.
