We have several echoes and dots throughout our house, we use it to listen to music, check the weather, traffic, adjust settings on our smart home devices, create shopping lists, use it as a kitchen timer, check facts, use as an intercom, phone family, as a bedside alarm, listen to music throughout the house, and the list just goes on and on. It really is a personal assistant, new skills are appearing every day and It's fun finding new things she can do and answer. Ever expanding knowledge base and skills are the biggest feature, not likely to become obsolete very soon .....

I really liked the idea of having a device I could talk to "out of nowhere" that would answer (although our cells phones can do similarly, but you have to turn them on and press buttons, etc.). It is also gratifying to be able to tell a device to play music and it does. I was quite disappointed in the ability of "Alexa" to answer any serious questions. Jeff needs to pay to send his programmers back to search school. So many times Alexa says a phrase similar to "I don't understand the question" So basically I paid for a radio. I paid extra for the larger one, but the output is still no different than a clock radio. Come on Amazon!!!

I have been using different methods of voice recognition software to drive home automation software for years. Echo paired up with my Indigo system on a Mac mini now allows me to easily control my home automation devices by voice. My blinds, my light, get the weather for tomorrow. Oh, it's kind of humorous though when you are watching a TV show with a character with the name Alexa. I just wish Amazon would develop or allow customization beyond 2 names (Alexa or Amazon). Oh, and more devices for out of the box solutions. I definitely need a 12v and an IO device. All in good time I imagine. ***Note: must have a good internet connection.

My Amazon's Echo arrived in good condition. I'm not good at setting up devices but it was very easy to set up. I am amazed at all the features it has. I love it!!!

The Amazon Echo is a really fun thing to play with. We always try to find new things to say to it which would make it say something funny. The Echo has been the most helpful in our home for creating shopping lists for everyone in the house with a phone. If any of us find ourselves at the store, we know what the others want. Shopping on Amazon is really easy and fun as well. There's a whole bunch of apps so it won't be hard for you to find what will make the Echo useful to you specifically. We love it. I couldn't recommend it more.
