Customer Ratings & Reviews

Amazon Echo is great. But it is stuck at home. Amazon Tap on the other hand goes everywhere. In the short time we have had ours, we have brought it to Sweden, Portugal, the lake up north and friend's houses. It has served as a music host at card games, answered questions and added things to our shopping list. It is easy to set up Amazon Tap to a wifi network using the Alexa app on your smartphone. You can also easily pair several devices to the Tap via Bluetooth. What really makes this device great is that the cloud based software is continually updated. New skills and capabilities are made available on a regular basis. Amazon really hit home with the Tap as the voice interface is so easy to use, and the portability makes it a great.

There may be speakers that sound better or there may be bluetooth speakers that have better battery life. But, there are none that combine great sound, decent battery life (have used them for a full day on battery), AND throw in Alexa voice control in one package (until maybe Sonos) It's nice to be working in the yard and tell Alexa to play something or pause something, especially if your hands are dirty. But it's AWESOME to tell that same speaker "Alexa, turn on the yard lights"...... I bought one for each of my daughters as gifts!

I got an Alexa tap since I wanted a portable speaker with Alexa capabilities! We love it. My kids pretty much took it over and love asking Alexa to play their favorite songs. The technology recognizes all of our voices even my five year old.

I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my daughter. She loves it, easy to use, speakers are more clear than her other devices Great volume

Performs well as a Bluetooth speaker but when combined with Alexa becomes a great option. Portable without being plugged in, great battery life and can have active-listening turned on. Not a single regret about this purchase.

Our whole house has echos, so we purchased this for more of patio/outside sound. I knew upon purchasing it isn’t weather-proof; which is fine. The main issue I have with it is the battery life.. 8 hours is just not enough. Sound quality is great though!

Good sound from a little cylinder. You will have to enable the voice activation instead of (tapping) every time. The best thing is your able to pick it up and move it around and then put it back on the base for recharging.

I love this product and that you can take "Alexa" everywhere with you because it is a portable speaker. You can connect it to your phone when away from a WiFi building. The speaker is great, it is surrounded by cloth, which I would worry about it getting dirty. The one downside to the tap compared to the Echo Dot or the OG Echo is that Alexa is not always listening and for her to work on the Tap, you have to press the speaker button. Pretty self explanatory name. You have to "tap" the tap. I ended up returning it to get the dot. But, like I said, great speaker, great portable device.

This device is perfect if you also need your music in on the go. Just pair it to your smartphone and you will have about 7:30hrs of music at nice volume is not the most clear if you set 9 or 10 but is totally nice

I read reviews for all the Amazon echo products, and decided the portability and the full size of the Tap made it the right product for me. It lives up to my expectations. It does last all day, playing music, answering questions, (although my accent must give it some problems as I get a few "I didn't understand that" comments from Alexa), and setting timers/alarms and lists. I picked the Tap because it has the ability to be moved room to room or even to the patio, and can be recharged overnight.

This portable Bluetooth speaker has an excellent sound which can be taken anywhere unlike the Echo and Echo Dot which both have to be plugged in. Want to listen to a favorite song? Just ask Alexa. Want to know the weather report? Just ask Alexa. Want to know your horoscope? Just ask Alexa. A lot of fun and entertainment at a great price. Big things come in small packages!

When I purchased the Tap I thought it was a portable speaker for the echo. It's actually it's own device. Yes, it's portable, can operate wireless. It does work with the same "alexa" set up. The Echo operates with no hands…you can simply speak to Alexa. The tap has a microphone button you need to hold down to speak to Alexa. Great sound quality. Rechargeable base unit.

I already had the echo dot and bought the echo as a gift for someone that wanted the dot. It is for their business office and the echo was better suited with the speaker and design.

Seriously a flawless, portable, smart, multipurpose gadget. Add this to the incredible Flash Sale price and I'd have been a fool to pass it up. Fast charge, balanced tuning, easy to pair and did I mention highly portable? The cradle is a sweet design too. The only beef I have is that YOUR BLUETOOTH IS PAIRED screaming at you when syncing. Own one of these-

It was an unexpected gift. I like this more than the Alexa because this one is portable. It's great for streaming music. My kids use it all the time. Only problem so far is it does not always understand what I'm saying. Especially when saying the name of a radio station. Sometimes takes few tries before I get what I'm looking for. It has great sound when playing music. Talk radio is not as good but understandable. If you want a portable speaker and Alexa this is the one to get.

This is a great device to play music on. It has great other features that enable you to connect other devices. Also can plat trivia games like Jeopardy. I love this device.

Love that you can take this anywhere and hook up to my Bluetooth. Great sound quality.

this is a very good product, the speakers are good, the price was right. I liked everything about it, other than the fact that you had to press the button each time you wanted to talk to it, unlike the echo and the dot. The portability was good, but I didn't have much use for it being portable. Unless you are going to keep the Tap within arm's reach, you're better off with one of the other hands free voice activated products. recommended with caveats

I was so excited they did a software update to Alexa. You can now yell at Alexa instead of pressing the button. Speaker sounds great with 360 degree sound.

It's pretty good for what it is designed to do: a portable bluetooth speaker and Alexa-enabled speaker. Not voice controlled so you have to touch the speaker button for Alexa. Nice thing once connected to your Alexa account is that you can play music, whatever, without having your phone nearby though Alexa only works when connected to WiFi. If no Wifi, then connect via bluetooth to play music from any apps. Battery life is also pretty good.
