Doesn't seem to be compatible with most of my smart home devices.

I'm just now venturing into the world of smart home so can't wait to see what else it can do

Put off getting one of these smart home devices then mother-in-law gave us three of them

Seems to have remarkably good integration with smart home devices.

I'm going to have to try Google's smart home device to compare now.

Terrible sounding speaker, will beware next time when purchasing a refurbished item.

I love the look of the white echo and the sound is great!

Yay..had the best birthday because of this little number..awesome sound and all my favorite tunes.

We use Alexa for everything so worth it and great sound!

My daughter plays the magic door game and she has those awesome creepy sounds

i love having the Echo, so cool, i mostly use if for music

We love the Amazon Echo, it can answer any really question, really fast.

Love the echo however, product stopped working just after a

Item was refurbished and came with a incorrect a/c cable

- My daughterWe have had the Echo for a year and love it.

If sound quality is important to you, buy this one, not the newest generation.

n’t bother asking how can you play music for eight hours, or something like “Alexa, play music all day”

so I purchased a new one but that didn't work as it is the actual unit that doesn't work

Sound quality is very good for this stand alone product

Echo also has better sound quality and I use it with Amazon Music Unlimited daily.

n’t bother asking how can you play music for eight hours, or something like “Alexa, play music all day”

It is a great addition to our household great for playing music getting Weather sports updates it is great

so I purchased a new one but that didn't work as it is the actual unit that doesn't work

It’s a nice addition to have in the kitchen and the sound is very good

This second one is in the bedroom and is the perfect addition to the room!

This is an expensive device to only get to use a dozen times

I really liked its sound quality and it integrated really well with every smart device in my house

They operate my smart devices so it still works but as many others on this site and other forums have posted, you have to unplug the device and plug it back in for audio to work for, at most, a day but usually within a matter of hours

I'm going to have to try Google's smart home device to compare now.

The whole family (including the dog) are enjoying the device and we are considering adding other devices to the family

After learning what these companies are doing with your data, I do not trust this product

Well I had the product of almost a year and it completely failed!

Doesn't mean refurbished you’ll give this kind of trashy product

Great product, would have ever guessed it was refurbished.

See https://www.amazonforum.com/forums/devices/echo-alexa/465481-light-rings-on-but-no-sound?page=2It appears this particular product is "A Lemon".

We use it everyday and enjoy amazon music with the echo

It was fine in the beginning but after some of the latest updates Alexa either dosent respond and the voice command shuts off in seconds, ask you "what do want to hear?" and she will ask AGAIN "what do want to hear?" or just plays the wrong music or station

I love this but if you want to listen to unlimited music, it comes with a monthly cost for Amazon Prime.

And somehow voice recognition being better because if you try to say Alexa with loud music forget about it.

I totally enjoy the music and everything that my echo does for me

Love the Spotify feature as we can request music and she plays it within seconds.

Love the shopping list features of the app and the device!

Two features I am not crazy about: (1) it does not seem to automatically turn off, so the battery will run down if you don't turn it off manually or plug it back in; and (2) the on-off power switch is a bit tricky.

I loved this feature since I move to different places around my room doing different things, the music has the same crisp sound

Some annoying features (I leave it unplugged so it doesn't bother me) and I barely use it.

I’m gonna be honest this thing creeps me out a little, but music sounds great through it

buying this on prime day (and with my discount) was the best thing i ever did.

And you can play around with it and have Alexa say some pretty funny things!

It is capable of so many amazing things I would think that it would be a simple thing for my grocery list to be sent to my phone

This thing is great, it's worth the money just for the way you can hear all your music.

This is the second one i bought with a busted speaker, can you all please make sure they work before sending them out its very frustrating an time consuming.

This has a good speaker and great for playing my Prime Music.

Its a great blue tooth speaker but the monitoring it does is very creepy.

I like the speaker on the generation one echo better than the 2nd gen

great Speaker sounds as good as my first one, I just need to figure out how to make them play music at the same time

But recently our Alexa will not work unless you unplug it then plug it back in

Love this Alexa but hey came out with a new one right after I bought it

Definitely, miss not having Alexa to talk to in my car and at work.

Alexa is great for music, haven’t found her to be useful for anything else

This is my favorite location to have Alexa available for that reason.

Don’t working goodSound noises not normal speakers

Other wise I love it

Just nice n glad to hear the music coming out

I only give it 4 stars, because sometimes it does have connection issues, where I have to fully reboot the thing AND has randomly activated and made weird noises when no noise is being made

Also, I disabled the doorbell as I hate the intrusive noise (but not as much as my dogs do)

My only issue is the fact that I used up all my date playing music with Amazon music

I don't like the fact that you have to have prime to play some songs.

Negative: I don't like the fact that each time you move it (disconnect from power source), it has to reconnect to Wi-

I don't like the fact that everything I say to her is kept by Amazon, unless I take the trouble to go online and delete it.

I like the ease of set up and information that is fast in response from AlexaI didn't like the fact popular singular songs are not available unless you pay a subscription fee

Other wise I love it

This is my second attempt to post a review, first one did not meet the guidelines by Amazon or they didn't want a bad review

I don't understand where all the positive reviews are coming from

This is probably the first bad, marginal review I have ever posted for Amazon.

Don't have the time for the best review details but would be glad to share how I sue it

I love(d) it....until this week when it just died.

It misses commands very easily, and having an accent doesn't help at all

Sometimes Alexa misunderstands commands from TV shows and randomly blurts, "Sorry, I didn't get that

In the last few months this device will randomly stop playing music; ignore commands; and generally wakes only about half the time, and that's when I'm standing right over her

so I purchased a new one but that didn't work as it is the actual unit that doesn't work
