Pretty meh. It's okay for small things like a timer and other stuff. Wouldn't recommend buying this if you ever want to use it for music listening.

bought this because I thought it would be useful. I tried it out for a little while and finally unplugged it because Siri does a much better job

Its a cool little speakers to have and convenient to use for basic information but definitely not something you'll be constantly using.

The more I use my Amazon echo dot the less I like this one. It just doesn't hold up to it Frankly.

We purchased this and can’t seem to get it to work. We are in the process of moving and hopefully will get it set up soon.

I got the dark charcoal one. The cord and plug were snow white. I wish they were black or charcoal. The white looked tacky with the dark soeajerf.

Harder to work for novices, and I use Google everything. I think the Echo is easier. It is very cute though with good speakers.

as with the echo dot, don't expect good sound from such a tiny device, but for small rooms, or just to converse with, it's great.

Didn’t like as much as Echo Dot. Had both and ended up giving this one away to get another Dot because of amazon prime integration.
