Customer Ratings & Reviews

My review is not a review of the device as much as my opinion on which product to choose when trying to decide between this and Google home. Google home is the closest competition in this landscape and its still lacking in comparison to Alexa. All of the interesting features of Google home are non existent or slowly being released. Using these features as a selling point is disingenuous. More than that Google home constantly has trouble detecting my voice and doing any of the assistant commands. In the same environment the echo dot with budget hardware had better success rate. When it did detect it the time to action was x2 as long as Google home is much more "chatty".

So far, i am enjoying my Echo. I have used it so far to play songs from Pandora, wake me up in the morning. tell me the weather and as a timer. Looking forward to learning lots more things it can do.

Alexa wakes me up every morning and with out having to turn light on to see clock can just ask, Alexa what time is it, plus can do so much more, such as play songs from play list etc. worth the money!

Superb sound quality with deep bass and loudness, excellent voice recognition with noise cancelling. Lot of Alexa apps with integration with Logitech remote, Philips Hue home automation devices.

Music (great sound), news, sports updates, commute condition and a whole lot more! The nice thing is more available content is consistently coming out. What a versatile, fun piece of electronics!

This is larger than the dot but it provides a nice built-in speaker. I use it in my bedroom, where there are no external receiver/speakers and leave the dot downstairs connected to a larger speaker.

The Echo is great. It provides useful information when it is properly set up in the app. It can control lighting, music etc. We have either the Echo or the Dot in each of our homes.

My 81 yo mothers loves to be able to adjust lighting levels with voice commands through integration with Philips Hue devices, and my 84 yo dad laughs every time Alexa does as she is told and says "OK"

I have a short term memory problem....going from the kitchen to find my phone to add something to my shopping list...I can forget that easy...being able to speak and add things to a list and have that list on my phone where ever I go...AMAZING...and that is just one perk...I love this item!

I love my Amazind Alexa!! Hands down one of the best products I’ve ever purchased. Easy to register and set up. My 3 year old grandson loves to ask her to play his music.

it's fun and easy to listen to music, get weather updates, etc. On the useful side it makes operating your lights, garage door, and other items in your household; working them is very convenient

What can I say, the family's been going crazy with Alexa. Having her calculate math problems, asking about the weather, setting timers, playing our favorite songs on command - it's been great!

Echo is a nice addition to my ahem becoming automated home (not close). What I like with it are easy to use and setup, there still a lot of improvement to do but overall it's nice to have it as long the maker of it will continue to update Alexa to keep up with.this fast paced technology of us.

Great product if you are looking for Alexa or a speaker for listening to music. Sleek design, great features, but I was pleasantly surprised with the sound quality this unit provides as well.

I love the Alexa, it's so convenient, I have it in my kitchen so its readily accessible for music and trivia! The sound is great, love the music choices and the shopping list is a fantastic option.

I love my Echo. This is actually the second one I purchased. I use it to set timers and alarms. We also use it to play music for our son and when family comes over to provide some background music.

If you have decided to buy a digital assistant this is the one to choose. Google home is good but not nearly as refined as Alexa. I have used both extensively and the Echo is the hands down winner.

Sound quality is way better! I would recommend this product to someone that is going to use it to listen to music. I also have echo dot and those work nice too but Alexa seems more reliable.

easy to set up, still getting the hang of all the features and really enjoying this - far more than I even imagined. If you're into sports and are looking for schedules, scores, etc. this is great!

We love this product, and are having so much fun with it. I can make a shopping list with it, get news, weather forecast , play our favorite music and so many other things that I have yet to discover.
