The Echo's sound quality is uneven at times

After our initial concerns we really like the Amazon Echo.Although chatting to a speaker may sound a bit odd, it actually makes a lot of sense and soon becomes second nature.The Alexa voice recognition is hugely impressive and, with more features coming s...

I'm very torn by the Echo. On one hand the hardware is very well designed and solid blending into the background very effectively with a good if not great speaker system. The software is so nearly good. When an interaction goes well it goes very well – us...

Superb music player, Great with factual requests, News and weather updates, Alexa SDK means its improving all the time,
Speaker quality isn't great, Must be connected to mains, Voice works better with US accents, Needs more smart home connections
