The editors didn't like
The Echo's sound quality is uneven at times
With weak bass at high volumes. The growing list of "Skills" in the Alexa app could also benefit from better organization
Alexa is a very useful personal assistant, quality mic technology for conversing and getting clear answers, sleek looking speaker design, easy setup, lots of compatible services - and more to come
App isn't that well designed, no battery for portability, not class-leading speaker quality, Echo Dot makes more sense, you'll want Prime to make the most of it
We think hands-free voice control is a godsend and that Alexa, Amazon Echo's personal assistant, truly distinguishes this Bluetooth speaker from the competition. It blew our minds. We won't ever get tired of walking into our living room and casually...

The Amazon Echo is a likable "smart" speaker that will grow on you as it continues to improve...
No hands-free calls, texts or emails, Somewhat creepy
No battery for the countertop Amazon Echo Creepy or convenient? Put it this way, notorious AI-paranoid Elon Musk probably doesn't have an Echo on his kitchen countertop. Just as society has had to adapt to screens and cameras everywhere, it's time to rea...
Tons of fun, Intuitive, accurate and natural-sounding voice-assistant, Quick response times, Integration with Fire Tablets, Loads of potential
Limited Prime account integration, Very average sound quality, Wake word limited to 'Alexa' and 'Amazon', Security limited to four-digit PIN
The Echo speaker is Amazon's most interesting experiment yet. I poked fun at the marketing efforts around the Echo and its voice-driven assistant, Alexa. But once I had the speaker in my home, I couldn't deny it was extremely fun to use. Time will tell w...

The Echo voice recognition is excellent and more broadly, the voice-driven interface is really well designed. It's fun! We don't say that often enough about gadgets. Echo works well enough to raise an eyebrow each time it magically responds to your comman
Probably the saddest thing about Echo is that it's made by Amazon, and I don't mean that smugly. Amazon makes great products, but the company doesn't have access to my calendar and my Google account built right in. Everything Echo does is amazing, but it
It's not a fabulous speaker, and as a voice-controlled assistant, your phone's more powerful. To be sure, Echo is an unpolished novelty, and I can't be sure that the novelty won't wear thin, especially if Amazon doesn't improve the platform with software...
Not great at answering questions, Limits on compatible software and services
If you're more smart-home savvy, invested in Amazon's video and music streaming ecosystem or turned-off by the look of the Google Home, this might well be the smart speaker for you...

Abstract: With the next great platform war set to take place in the world of voice-activated assistants like Google Home and Apple's new Siri-powered Home app, many Canadian early adopters are gazing jealously at our U.S. counterparts and Amazon's surprisingly capa...
Abstract: Amazon has done a superb job when it comes to smart speakers - from setting one up to list of compatible devices and skills to understanding and responding to Indian dialects. For me, the setup was rather simple as when I launched the Alexa app, it prompt...
