Customer Ratings & Reviews

I'll admit it -- I'm kinda lazy. But this thing is so much fun AND feeds my laziness! Easy set up, does all SORTS of fun things....My favorite is being able to wake up in the middle of the night and say "Alexa, add orange juice to my shopping list" and go right back to sleep.

The Echo is and has the potential to completely change our way of doing things in our home. From music to grocery lists, to calendar events and home security. We are just beginning to explore the many capabilities of this product and we are enjoying every minute of it.

We purchased the Amazon Echo on a whim, but really enjoy using it. Easy to get information with just a question, listen to music, get local weather information. Even my 4 year old granddaughter knows how to ask Alexa questions. Great addition to our household.

We found this to be an excellent music source. Signed up for the $3/month Unlimited Amazon Music subscription. It's great to be able to request any kind of music at any time. Speaker quality is excellent as well. It was very easy to setup. Love that you can add items directly to a shopping list or a to do list. I would have given this 5 stars if the Search feature was more robust.

Bought this for my uncle who is visually handicapped. He loves it! Weather at several locations, time, singer/ group verifications, connects to his iPhone Sirius XM station & so much more. Bought one for me!!!

The speaker quality exceeded my expectations. I have used some of the Skills and am very please with them. Being a Prime member I think the best feature is the access to Prime music, though Spotify Premium members probably could enjoy the same selection if not better.

I first bought an echo for my girlfriend to use for music, instead of her phone because she was killing the battery. Once she hooked it up, she was extremely happy with it. I purchased a second one for my mom and she loves it. Planning I getting a third soon!

The echo is pretty fun to use but is definitely more useful when paired with other smart home devices. I can control my Lifx bulb and my Ecobee smart thermostat with voice commands. She's also programmed with some funny lines and is fun to chat with to see what she says.

I really like the Amazon Echo. It gives me information w/o my having to log online. Alexa's voice is clear and the information concise. I like the sleek look & the blue "ring" that allows you to know when you have connected with Alexa. There have been quite a few questions she cannot answer. Hopefully as we become used to the Echo and how to phrase questions our luck will improve.

I first saw the Amazon Echo at a friends house and purchased mine the very next week. It has become quite a conversation piece. My father liked it so much he has requested one for Christmas. I recently bought an Echo compatible smart plug device and love how it works.

I bought this for my wife and it is a gift that the whole family, even friends love to play with. I have multiple that I set up with multi-room sync while playing music. If you don't mind it always listening it is cool to pair with lights and plugs.

We were skeptical of Alexa at first. Now we question how we ever lived without it

This is the 5th Echo I have purchased, one for myself and the other 4 were gifts. The sound is awesome, does all the research for you. My grandson actually uses is when doing his homework. It's also great to use when having parties. One of my best purchases.

I bought this for my Dad and he absolutely loves it!!!!! He uses it all the time!

This is one of the best toys I have. Everyone enjoys how easy it is to get information, news, music and more. The sound is great even outside. The only reason I did not give a rating of 5 is that the Echo has to be plugged in to operate. I wrongly assumed it was portable. However, I was able to purchase a battery that hooks on to the bottom and now my Echo is portable!

I purchased the Amazon Echo for my boyfriend as a birthday gift and he absolutely loved it. He uses it for everything from news, weather to recipes and music. It's perfect for in the kitchen or living room. It also can be programmed for various things, it's awesome!

I looked at all the options and decided the Echo was the one for me. Very happy.

Amazon Echo is so incredibly cool. The only thing that would make it better would be if I could call it Jarvis when I speak to it. I would totally feel like Iron Man. Once you setup your iHeart Radio, Pandora Jam and Amazon Prime - your music possibilities are endless. It will also give you news headlines, weather, wake up alarms, etc. You can teach it skills such as telling jokes, random pick up lines or even pootering on demand. My kids love that it has a quite extensive poot library. (something I never thought i'd say) One warning! It gets expensive quick. I had it two days and was already back at Best Buy buying a Phillips Hue Starter Kit so I could control my bedroom lights by voice. Not mention that you can order using Amazon Prime by voice. Although some setup to do so is required. As far as the overall initial configuration is very easy. The sound is very good and it makes a great blue tooth speaker as well.

I bought this primarily to play music and control remote outlets I have around the house. It works great for both things! Alexa, play my playlist. Alexa, turn the fishtank on. It's terrible at specific search type questions, but I don't use it for that.

Finally stepped up to the plate and got into the Amazon Echo bandwagon; let me tell you, I don't know why I waited. Easy to connect, easy to teach it new skills, don't have to yell or talk like a robot myself to get it to work. My house is on it's way to the future!
