I love my Alexa! I renamed her Computer because of Star Trek. We have so much fun listening to music, playing games and telling her to clean the house with our Neato botvac or turn on the sprinklers with our Rachio irrigation controller. As we learn more cool things this personal assistant can do the happier I am we purchased one. We like it so much we purchased another for our bedroom and a Dot for our daughters room. They work together as an intercom system too so no more yelling for one another or texting, admit it, you do it too, we can now just drop in and talk to one another. I am planning to continue purchasing items that Alexa can control and look forward to the advancement in personal assistant technology. So many things she can do already!!! I highly recommend getting 1 or 2 or 3!!!

I was pretty amazed at the Amazon Echo and what it could do. The sound quality was pretty impressive for such a small unobtrusive unit and setup was pretty simple. The number of "things" that will work with the Echo once setup is neat. However, I did return my Echo unit when I learned that an even better unit, the Echo Plus, will soon be available. The Echo Plus comes with a built-in hub, bigger speakers, and at a lower cost as well. You can't go wrong with either, especially if you already have an IoT hub!

I was hesitant to buy this before but now feel that I made the right choice. Alexa syncs well will spotify and smart bulbs. Apart from listening music and too lazy to switch on/off lights, i can get an update about nearby traffic, weather before even getting out of the bed.

Great device. I use it to answer questions, look up information, play music, for alarms, to take notes and for weather updates. I would recommend this device to my friends and family.

Alexa is fantastic, she is helpful, excellent voice recognition, it can help with many tasks. My home is smart because of Alexa. I recommended this product.

Echo is easy to set up. Alexa app was a snap to diownload. Use it for all my music, fitness, and thinks I want to learn about.
