Versatile device to ask questions, as alarm clock, to call someone, for notifications, to play music
This is my first time owning an Amazon Echo device (although other members of my family and friends have them, and I've used it in that manner).Setting up the device took a bit of time, but was not difficult. I downloaded the Amazon Alexa app, and followed the instructions. Then, I plugged the USB cable into the port on the Echo device, and into the power outlet.I've now used my own Echo for the past several weeks. It is responsive, able to pick up my questions from anywhere in the room where the Echo is located, as long as I talk loud enough if I am far away.I love that I can listen to free music. For example, I say, "...Alexa, play 80s music..." and it plays until I tell it to turn off. And, if I want a particular song or a particular musician, then I can subscribe to the music service. I can tell Alexa to turn up/down the volume, or I can press the (+) or (-) button on the device itself to turn up/down the volume.I like that I can use Echo as an alarm clock.It's great to have Echo remind me to do something, such as "...Alexa, remind me to watch a TV program at 9 pm..."It's convenient to get the local weather.I love that I can call another person while using Echo.When my Amazon packages arrive (either to the house, or to my PO Box), I am notified by the light on the Echo flashing (this tells me there is a notification). Once I tell Alexa to give me notifications, she says that a package has arrive.Most of my questions can be answered. When Alexa doesn't know an answer, it says something like, "...hmmm, I am not sure...."I am still learning more about what other things that Amazon/Alexa can do.All in all, I am quite glad I got it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great new upgrade from Eco dot
Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2021
I am using it for a alarm clock, you just say (alexa set alarm for 7:am. ) Then you have options, I have it give the date The days weather forecast and then go to the morning news. The sound quality is surprisingly good, sounds great. You have a number options for music, many are free but you have limitations. If you say ( Alexa play music by the doors ) it will play a great song that it choses but then it will play other random tunes. So I've decided the best way to go is to do the Amazon. I over a year I will order many things from Amazon so doing the Amazon prime with the free shipping makes sense to me. For a year it's aprox$100. Plus you get the prime tv app. If you just do the music it's 3.99 a month or$50 a year. But I also use sirius xm from my car on it works great. Just say alexa play sirius classic vinyl. I have ordered one of the light dimmers for it but I haven't tried it out yet. Over all it's been a good experience, work's great, sounds great. I'm looking forward to expanding the use of it for a really smart home that's upto date. Great new addition to my set up it's very functional and user friendly.
