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

Abstract: Amazon Echo , the company's desktop, voice-activated personal assistant became available to the general public for the first time on Tuesday. Gizmag has been spending the past month with Echo and we've found it to be an exciting new product with plenty of...

Abstract: Our Amazon Echo, a voice-controlled appliance—for want of a better word—arrived on May 17 and we've been using it all week. As Prime members, we paid $100 for ours, but the list price is $200. While some parts are beautifully done, the information service...

No battery (plugin only), Shopping and todo lists, Many ways to get music
Not very smart (but getting there), Only two lists (todo and shopping), Purchase by invitation only
There are a lot of things I wish the Echo could do or do better. I want multiple shopping lists, better integration with my Internet-connected appliances, such as my Nest thermostat, and the ability to answer more complex questions. Alexa isn't very smart...
I've been living with Amazon Echo and “Alexa” for quite a while now and I have to say that I'm truly impressed with Amazon's offering. I held off on my review for a while because I wanted to be sure that I wasn't just experiencing the honeymoon phase of a...

Why is Alexa Echo so cool and frustrating at the same? When it knows how to answer your question, the experience is like magic. When my wife decided to ask, "Alexa, what color is the dress?" and the response was, "The dress is blue and black," we both ...

Voice recognition is fast and responsive, Volume can get very loud
Must be tethered to an outlet, Invite-only to buy, Isn't context aware, Only comes in black
The Echo's an impressive voice assistant and voice-controlled DJ, but Amazon's only scratching the surface of what it can do...

Abstract: I was able to take advantage of the Amazon Prime member ‘invite' to purchase the Echo at a discounted rate ($99 compared to the non-member $199), but really wanted to give my wife a new speaker for our bathroom (which is a pretty huge room) because the li...

Fast and simple to interact with, Impressive mic and hearing range, Joke-telling game is strong
Way too finicky, Sometimes Alexa just ignores you, Needs a real ecosystem outside of Amazon
