    • 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
    • Fun, smart, and very handy device
    • Sounds good and attaches to devices with ease
    • It works as my other Alexa devices
    • This device worked for just over 1 1/2 years before it died
    • The device works, but it stops speaking at least once per week.
    • Its a great device
    • Device exceeds expectations
    • This is a great device
    • Great device
    • Great device!
    • Put off getting one of these smart home devices then mother-in-law gave us three of them
    • Fantastic device.
    • This is an expensive device to only get to use a dozen times
    • I'm going to have to try Google's smart home device to compare now.
    • Great device, used it everyday for 2 years
    • But it is a useful and convenient speaker device
    • Love the shopping list features of the app and the device!
    • This device is just absolute convenience
    • Fun little device, keeps us amused for hours
    • have it connected to any smart home devices
    • Doesn't seem to be compatible with most of my smart home devices.
    • Neat device
    • Love this device the best
    • Nice device
    • These are great devices and the family loves it.
    • Other than that, this is by far the best AI device you can buy
    • The device provides no network compatibility features so unless it is a personal wifi system with no password, the device is useless
    • This purchase turns me off from buying ANY more Amazon smart devices
    • It would have been a much better device if it had come with an on/off button, or caused less interference.
    • 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
    • Since my husband is blind this device has been such a blessing to him.
    • 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..
    • Overall, this device is handy to have around.
    • Great device
    • This device worked for just over 1 1/2 years before it died
    • I really liked its sound quality and it integrated really well with every smart device in my house
    • I liked the device, but serves no purpose after breaking 2.5 years later
    • Making phone clothes through the Amazon Echo device very impressive and good quality.
    • There are many things that this device is capable of, yet we do not use it
    • Excellent device
    • Functions great with other Smart devices like WEMO
    • Love, love, love this device
    • This device is just great
    • Nice device to get some quick information from.
    • Overall love this device and makes life a little easier
    • It was a great device until it died
    • Great device
    • The whole family (including the dog) are enjoying the device and we are considering adding other devices to the family
    • It shouldn't fall apart under normal use, and there are much cheaper Alexa devices now, I wouldn't recommend
    • 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
    • Device failed around 12 months
    • Great device
    • What a fun device
    • Otherwise it is a wonderful device.
    • Wonderful device.
    • Outside of being listened to, its a pretty cool device
    • Seems to have remarkably good integration with smart home devices.
    • 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 had a momentary brownout at my home yesterday and it killed the device
    • I like the sexy Alexa voice and the Echo device has an amazing feature, it can hear me from anywhere from my house.
    • so it works well as a music device.
    • It still controls the smart devices (turn on/off lights, tv, etc) but gives no response.
    • Highly recommend this device!
    • Very easy to use, easy to set up new smart devices, can't live without her now-
    • This device is rendered completely useless without wireless internet
    • This used to be a great device
    • Great device for in home entertainment
    • Awesome Device
    • I am rating as a one, only because it WAS a great device but then completely stopped working - no power, etc.
    • 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
    • It was a great device until it died
    • Bottom line, the device works great but lasted too little
    • But these devices don't work if the network is down, and Amazon does a poor job of informing its customers when this happens.
    • Great device
    • I love(d) it....until this week when it just died.
    • Other wise I love it
    • Item was refurbished and came with a incorrect a/c cable
