    Certified Refurbished Amazon Echo (1st Generation)

    • 2018Finally now the device just runs for an hour when reset - its pretty much a stone nowAll this while GOOGLE HOME is working absolutely fine - no network drops nothingAfter hours with customer service - another replacement is being shipped - fed up of ALEXA - please do not buy this device
    • This used to be a great device
    • Love this device the best
    • Functions great with other Smart devices like WEMO
    • Love, love, love this device
    • This device is just great
    • Overall love this device and makes life a little easier
    • I liked the device, but serves no purpose after breaking 2.5 years later
    • It shouldn't fall apart under normal use, and there are much cheaper Alexa devices now, I wouldn't recommend
    • Neat device
    • Other than that, this is by far the best AI device you can buy
    • great device
    • I wish I would have invested this money in google home.. this is good only if you have smart devices to operate else its just plain old speakers..
    • Excellent device
    • Otherwise it is a wonderful device.
    • Sounds good and attaches to devices with ease
    • Bottom line, the device works great but lasted too little
    • Nice device
    • This device worked for just over 1 1/2 years before it died
    • Since my husband is blind this device has been such a blessing to him.
    • It still controls the smart devices (turn on/off lights, tv, etc) but gives no response.
    • This is one of the best devices I've purchased for my household.
    • The device provides no network compatibility features so unless it is a personal wifi system with no password, the device is useless
    • This is a great beginner device but in my personal opinion it will need a lot more upgrades with different voices to choose from Also to be able to self learn and I believe Amazon will be on the cutting edge of technology with this device once they evolve it to a higher level of learning
    • Fun little device, keeps us amused for hours
    • Its a great device

    • But it is a useful and convenient speaker device
    • Great device!
    • Great device
    • Highly recommend this device!
    • 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
    • I'm going to have to try Google's smart home device to compare now.
    • Great device
    • Nice device to get some quick information from.
    • There are many things that this device is capable of, yet we do not use it
    • This device is just absolute convenience
    • This is the reason why we offer one year limited warranty to replace the device anytime when it becomes faulty."Needless to say, I am pissed that the device stops working after 1 year and 2 weeks and they will not replace it

    • Awesome Device
    • This purchase turns me off from buying ANY more Amazon smart devices
    • 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

    • Other wise I love it
    • Item was refurbished and came with a incorrect a/c cable
