    I got mine for $50.00 on Amazon Prime day.I , love it. The sound quality is outstanding, like an expensive audio system.

      @Beyond Bailey I'm excited for you! Name a group and a song and it will play it for you. Say play a trivia game and it will. Ask about the weather. It can play old time radio shows. Look it up on UA-cam for more usage. I hope this helps you. You can listen to the news and just have a lot of fun with it. Once you get the echo plugged in you will download an app from your phone or computer to get it started.

    I also purchased my Echo 2nd Gen on Black Friday. It was $79.99 and they offered to break the charge up over 5 months. How could I say no? I have been loving it. It works great with my Fire TV stick and some home automation devices I have in the home. It has been great and I am seriously thinking about buying another one for another part of the house.

    This is very useful for people who are not able to use their hands. I have a patient he is bedridden and has quadriplegia. He uses Alexa to make calls to his family, change his tv and radio in the nursing home. It gives freedom and ability to do certain things because he can’t use his hands at all and he never will. This is a great thing and kind of fun to use. It is very user friendly and so awesome. I don’t see why some people are having negative comments and so against it. Just give it try and if you are so against it why are you watching videos on now to unpack it and use it.

    I just got mine that was a free replacement from Amazon because the original Echo I got for Christmas 8 months ago or so would not stay connected and I had to unplug and replug it in to work for that day. Now I just got this same one but when I connect to WiFi it then says to go to the Alexa app but when I do it says it's not connected tpo WiFi after it just finished saying it was connected and to go to my Alexa app previously. This kept going on and on back and forth with the same thing so I'm calling a friend to see if there's something I'm doing wrong or if another Echo is trash. I followed all the instructions but it turned into a vicious cycle of back and forth, connected, go to app, then not connected then on my WiFi list it said it was out of range when it was 4 feet away.

    Amazon is a sneaky company because I really the Echo Plus ( because of the tall cylindrical shape
    With the Rotating Volume) that's the echo plus
    At $150 but the 2nd generation actually comes
    With a Dot for only $129. You haven't by chance
    Made a video on the plus have you?

    • @JordanKeyes

      Dont know though the differences between the echo and the echo plus though, it's the latter what I have on order at least right now, should be the week after next I get it since takes a little while here to arrive annoyingly haha!
      I believe yeah those features are in the Echo Plus like Zigbee or whatever it's called, at the moment just have a Fire TV stick as well as a relatively old (back in 2016) Fire Tablet so going to make my new flat/apartment when I move into it an Amazon Smart home haha!
      Got a light though for the like smaller desk lamp I have, need to find out when I move in what light connections the newer flat of mine has then I'll be replacing them all with ones that work with Amazon the Philips Hue ones, I really like the idea of having dimmers back since I miss that when coming back from my mums (UK for mom obviously haha) plus love the idea of using it as a kind of both an alarm clock and to turn on lights automatically so incase of intruders will be less likely to think a persons in when no one is that's the most exciting part I think!

    Please help me understand why things like this are getting popular, i just don't understand, I mean with phones and tablets having google assistant or siri (or even alexa and cortana if you want) built in i don't understand why these things exist
    This is not a rant i genuinely don't understand

      Not sure for other people, but for me, I don't always have my phone in a place where Siri or Google Assistant can hear me (doesn't work from my pocket) and having music or Audible audiobook playback from a device with a decent speaker, not taking battery/data from my phone, is really nice.

      Some people just have to have the most current item. For example, IPhone 10 came out a short time go. Should Apple say their coming out with an iPhone 11 these same people would rush out to get it in no time and if Apple said an iPhone 12 was coming out a week later these same jerks would turn in their iPhone 11's to get the 12. More money then sense(cents).

      I like being able to walk into my kitchen and say "ALEXA, play my pandora radio" and have it instantly play music while I clean or cook. Also, while cooking with gloves covered in food, I can answer my phone, turn on light, tv and do virtually anything without touching anything.

    Soooo basically it answers questions any internet search does and plays music like any pair of speakers? What is the attraction here, voice interface? I just don't get it why these things are so popular and WAY overpriced. If it was 20 bucks I could see buying one...but a hundred and up for something my cheap logitech speakers do (likely better) and question answers any one of half a dozens devices in my home can already answer? Pass.
