Control your life with the Amazon Echo. It started with a music player that could play anything from Prime Music to Spotify and Pandora, and it gives you hands-free convenience, yet it can now control lights, switches and thermostat and answer questions thanks to advanced voice recognition. Use the Amazon Echo to order an Uber or even pizza from Domino's.

Seriously Needs Improvement - Overrated!
on August 11, 2016
Posted by: LGLDSR
Let's be realistic on two fronts about the Echo: (1) I'ts fun to play with, a novel idea. (2) There are some serious flaws and if you doubt me you can try these yourself. Ask Alexa these three questions:
(1) "What is the Customer Service Number for UPS?". You'll be told the phone number of your nearest UPS store. No matter how you phrase the question.
(2) "Alexa, what is the current humidity outside?". You'll get the days weather report no matter how you pose the question. Seriously, it cannot even provide the Humidity?
(3) "Alexa, Who makes the 747 Jet?". You'll hear "Hmmm, I'm not sure what you meant by that question. So throw in a clue with "Alexa, who makes the Boeing 747 Jet?" and you'll hear the same answer. And this product is alleged to go out to the web to pull down information from Wikipedia, et al?
(4) The reproduction of music is egregious at best. Read anywhere on the Internet and you'll see this mentioned time and time again. It's very, very bad. Imagine a 1960's Transistor Radio not quite tuned well..
(5) The voice quality sounds like something from a Commodore-64 back in the 1980's. Another very common complaint you'll read about in reviews.
This is going back tonight. Not worth the $179.00 and I feel it's slated to go the route of the Pet Rock (for those who remember it).
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Read The Fine Print Before Buying This Plan!
on August 1, 2015

Be very careful before shelling out money for this coverage as there are many caveats. For instance, the Sales representative in the store told me that it covers drops, water damage, etc. HOWEVER, it does NOT cover drops from "a balcony" (quote from plan) or complete "...submersion..." in water. Not worth it by a long shot compared to other plans from other stores such as B & H, Abes of Maine, etc.
