Had a difficult time getting it to connect to the home WiFi finally connected on day two. Said there was an existing account already. Had to call customer service on day two was about to give up but now that it’s connected and working really makes things simple and easy. Especially for family members who are disabled.

Much easier to set up and better sound than I expected. I love the connected light, no more reaching back into a corner for the lamp switch. Alexa does it for me.

The echos are such a great thing to start turning your house into a smart home. It’ll start with one and then soon you’ll find dots and echos everywhere and lights controlled by her and fans etc. and it is so cool. I have quite a few echos and just upgraded to some Sonos speakers for the house that luckily have Alexa enabled, but still have the echos and dots scattered. Def give one a try or give one as a gift this holiday season, they’re fairly affordable and a great starter like I said

It works as advertised. Very convenient for getting the weather or turning on light. In my opinion it's the best at understanding you on the first try.

I have a Echo (ver 1) and am very impressed with the quality of the sound of the 2nd Gen speaker. It's also far easier to get it working.

The Echo Plus works great and sounds wonderful. Setting it us was simple and we have it networked with 3 other echo dots in the house. No more hollering for the kids, just drop in on their echo!
We play music throughout the house when entertaining; a great enhancement to the ambiance.

I was skeptical to begin a smart home system at first. The prices were so expensive and I am not tech savvy. Let me tell you how happy I am that I made the decision to take the plunge! I found a great deal at Best Buy about a month ago and started bundling a few items. We are having phone finding out the numerous ways we can use our new smarthome devices and it is vast! I read many reviews and am so glad I chose the Amazon platform over the others. Thanks to Best Buy and their promotions, I was able to finally do this.

I jumped on the Echo bandwagon as soon as the original was released a few years ago. Loved it. When the Echo Plus with Built in Hub was released in 2017 … Nice. The hub gave me the luxury of controlling my garage door after buying Nexx Garage. With these two Echo's - I also purchased the Amazon Voice Remote because the Echos did not have much range for "listening" around corners and from different rooms. The Voice Remote was essential, but solved the issue. I also added an Echo Dot in an obscure corner of the house for better Alexa coverage.
