+Jon-Michael McMasters lol i know, i didn't feel like reshooting that part. ha my b

lol i read this comment and was laughing the whole time during that part of the video

I'm glad I could provide the giggles

+Jon-Michael McMasters It's a truly great device! I love how they packed so much features in such a small yet powerful box. I really think this will be the future. It is a lot of fun to use. At the moment it is at SALE at Amazon I saw, so you can buy one here: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X4WHP5E/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00X4WHP5E&linkCode=as2&tag=compa0ad-20&linkId=UTO2PPCKHZGG2FZG

Lol I like your point.

+Jhon Pereda (JPere) hey jpere, glad you found me as well! thanks for the comments man. well i do love the hue lights, but they are very expensive, worth it but not without their quirks. you want one 'gadget' for your place to make it techy? are you a music lover? good speakers/sound are like my number 1 priority in any place i move to

You cannot add speakers to the Echo, you need the Dot. It has a 1/8" jack or can be paired by Bluetooth. It's available now for pre-order for $49 shipping in Oct 20.

probably not

Well it is "always listening" unless you press the mute switch.

yeah, and that's why it has that button.

I hate these comments.. They literally make no sense... I fthe NSA did spy on us, they would use EVERY FREAKING device in your home. If you have a phone: RIP new tv: RIP PC: RIP Laptop: RIP Skype (or any other calling software): RIP Amazon Echo: Why would they even bother bribing Amazon to spy for them? It would plane out, be a waist of money for them. So if you believe all this stuff, and have bad faith in our government, the Echo will not be a big issue. Start thinking omfg

they already kind of do use everything we have. this is an awesome device especially for them though. blue tooth sniper rifles are awesome. your phone can be used as a mic even when it's off by the powers that be. that's all i'm saying on here.

hey greedo, do you mean itunes on your computer?

+Kathryn Zusmanis hey kathryn, beautiful. that sounds like you are getting a lot of good use out of it! glad you like the video too appreciate the kind words

+kme06d nice, i wish i got it on that sale. yeh good point about the spotify, ams lacks a lot of stuff and their desktop app is confusing as hell. i really wish you could set an alarm and have her say the specific reminder though, much needed feature imo

+Steve Savo thanks steve, its was from by bydesignfurniture.com not sure if they still make it though

hey good question. i still love it actually and very much miss it when i didnt' have it hooked up during my recent move. i have since added a nest but no other devices. i still use it often to make shopping lists, random timers and controlling lights. those are honestly the main things, but they are extremely helpful to me in my day to day.

+Drew Peterson yeh, it is pretty impressive actually.

Luz MommyOf4 how is it? What do you mainly use it for?

TikiTrvlr I use it for grocery shopping it syncs to phone and the kiddos enjoy asking it questions. I also use it to play pandora for the babies.

hey jim you are welcome. i think that depends really, on what might you think she would use it for?

Fairly simple things like whats the temperature, news stories she's seen on tv maybe recipes weather forecasts, when is the first day of spring (that was today's important fact).

yeah i think for those kind of things it would be very useful. although recipes isn't really an ideal use. but for facts and weather and maybe reading some news (although it will mostly just be general news rather than calling out specific news stories), playing a little music, etc. as long as you do the initial setup for her, and then a quick demo i think she would enjoy it.

yes, especially considering the price

ha you must speak to it with authority, thats when it performs the best funnily enough

+Heather Brooks ha yep, i will warn you its addicting. you can also get insteon wall switches if you didn't want to get bulbs, those are basically wifi light switches (belkin ones are good too), and that way you can turn off lights with the echo as well

+techfreshness thanks for the further info! Using a random $30 Best Buy gift card right now to get some lights!

+FlashForum thanks flash, appreciate it

+parisrunway sure thing, its made by jawbone, i did a review on that as well. still my fav!

+Jordan Kertesz it can be with wemo, hue lights, or a bunch of other compatible type lights

oh wow those are great points, thanks. i def gotta try that wikipedia, sounds useful for sure

So... all you have to do is get Amazon unlimited music and you will have unlimited music? Who would have guessed?

+Scott Bitterman thank you sir

that is correct, you need a hue or other type of hub to have it be able to control lights.

+Juan Macias yeh boyee. thank you

yeap, sure can. it shows up just as a bluetooth speaker.

#Black Friday>>Certified Refurbished Amazon Echo, you SAVE $51>>www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Y3QOH5G/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00Y3QOH5G&linkCode=as2&tag=httpwwwechipk-20&linkId=f5fa9009c2b4ecdaf193345b4dda3ea7

Amazing, I waited a couple months for it to come back in stock. Shipping was fast, when I got her (Alexa) I felt like a child on Christmas day : ). Right out of the box the set up was simple. One thing though... I'm from a Caribbean island Trinidad & Tobago.I set up a JetBox account, I give Amazon a Miami address, they ship product there, JetBox ships it overseas to me. So I'm limited a little bit : no app for my cell phone, no Pandora or rest of Premium audio stations, thank God I can still use Tune in & surprisingly Amazon Prime Music, can't buy songs though, can't access Prime Video either. I'm a regular customer on Amazon & with access to their Prime music it's enough for me to stay a Prime member now : ) Alexa works really well, I'm limited for now till next month to fully Automate & upgrade my home with lights, sensors, plugs... the works. For now She understands about 90% on the first try 5% on second, 3% have to rearrange my words, 2% nothing, I understand her about 99% of the time, sometimes she talks a little fast. Her sound for her size is amazing. When I want the music loud I tell her to raise volume to 8, 10 would be overkill. Sometimes I forget where the music is coming from, I have a Bose sound system, of course no great base but you hear everything clearly. You can stay across the room & talk to her & she hears you clearly, but if music playing more than volume 6 she may not here you, I bought the remote separately, works great, so music can be loud & I just use remote. On youtube They show a lot of easter eggs... things you can ask her & she responds in funny entertaining ways, maybe over 80 cool responses she gives you, then there are cool skills you can access (from amazon site & app as well) to further upgrade her, of course there are a few Quirks with some of the 'skills' & some useless ones, but a lot are unique & can entertain children & adults as well. She plays music from my phone as well with no problem wish she could answer & make calls for me as well. She is well built, feels sturdy & sleek. Can't wait till I can use her to her Full potential : ) Customer care looks at your responses on the Amazon site, I gave a feedback that she didn't understand a question I know I asked clearly, they responded like 5 minutes with an e mail indicating they checked into it & that by refraising the question I'll get the desired response, I did & it worked, give those guys a raise of pay.

Europe to please

Alexa can't understand you guys from the land down under, just like non computer people from the states cannot understand you. haha. Jk.

Lachlant1984 I use mine in China. it works fine. It simply goes directly to Amazon cloud . you can use in Australia fine . I cannot just ask what time or the weather . I have to ask for the time and weather in my city..Example "Alexa, what in the weather in Beijing China ? It is no problem Any questions just ask. will check back tomorrow.

It's available now in Australia!

most def

convenience for one, phone not always around and siri doesn't pick up near as well from across the room in my experience
