I held off for years - very happy I finally purchased it/them!
In all authenticity I've stayed away from all things Alexa since day one and never wanted it in my home. I'm a tech savvy nerd who saw/noticed that technology was going down the wrong fork in the road a few decades ago and began reversing things "in my control" at my end. I finally caved on Alexa, though skeptical, I enjoy my privacy and right to anonymity, which we little to none left of. True, no matter how many settings I shut off I know what Alexa, Siri and being online itself causes (any WIFI and Bluetooth connection), but I did cave and I'm enjoying these a great deal. Voice recognition is superb, they've obviously done a lot more with Alexa than Apple has done with poor Siri who barely functions anymore. Connection is amazing in my home, I bought 2, one upstairs, one downstairs, then paired them. Setup was super quick - though I don't love having to use the App, again I've reversed things "in my control" for quite a few years which includes no use of any apps other than staples (camera, photos, text, etc.), so I'm not thrilled that I need to use the App, but I use it briefly, do whatever I need to do on it and immediately close it. These little guys are wonderful, sound is fantastic, and that's with one speaker upstairs and one speaker downstairs, you can't even tell that it's setup that way - excellent sound! Volume is wonderful and I've really been enjoying it! I still have a way to go on learning the ins and outs, I find a setting, set it, then forget where I saw it/found it to adjust it, but I'm super new to anything Alexa and the Echo. As much as I love it and I do, I don't know if my direct through the wall home owner loves how loud I have one of my alarms set "KIMBA IT'S TIME TO TAKE A SHOWER - YOU NEED TO GO TO UPS" is set so loud with a repeat 3 times LOL. It cracks me up, but it's amazing! I bought the stands (sold separately) for each and I'm really happy I did. I think this Echo is worth every penny and I'm thrilled that I bought 2 of them - I love that when I run upstairs and downstairs I don't lose the songs I'm listening to. One thing I adore, once I figured it out, is the ability to shut off insights and all things I don't want to see or hear about - I just love the music, the alarms, lists, reminders and weather. It's hilarious, I keep saying (again very new) Hey Alexa, I mean Hey Siri, no I mean Alexa ... and then Siri/on my phone says something like I'm sorry but I think you're looking for a different service haha. Excellent product, excellent quality!

Easy setup, Alexa+, bright touch screen, natural sound
This is perfect on the coffee fable. Alexa+ is awesome. Runs all my cameras, lights, fans...etc. Once its set up, she does the rest and all I have to do is ask. Perfect because I have too many different apps for lights and cameras and whatnot and was always having to go through, one by one, turn things off and on. Nice and easy now. The sound is impressive. Smooth. Not tinny sounding. And its also a Bluetooth "hub" basically. Mine is connected to everything I could connect it to. The camera on this one has a slide cover. So you know its off for sure its completely masked off. Doesn't bother me, but some of my friends...makes me wonder more about the company I keep.haha The touch screen is nice and bright. The menus make sense. Kinda reminds me of early tablet android. Like, 8 or 9 or so. If that makes sense. But like I said, Alexa+ runs the show. Everything that I have at this point has ended up having its own app. This takes care of that. Hands down the best part. And also when i don't have her busy, we've talked about everything from physics, quantum physics and the universe to how to set up smart appliances to how much a bowl of rice would cost on the moon if there were a restaurant. I do wish I would've bought the Show 8 to start with, but this one makes me feel like these little guys are pretty solid investments. So...now for that Show 8....
