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

Intelligent voice recognition, Large ecosystem and growing, Well built
Caters to Prime, Lackluster sound quality, Multi-user support lacking
That first year, we spent so much time focusing on how the Echo performed as a Bluetooth speaker that we failed to see how much potential the platform had as a smart-home hub and generally intelligent, time-saving device. We put it up against Siri and the...
The Echo 2 is equipped with advanced audio processing and a better sound system, as well as the updated version of Alexa. If you find that the sound in Echo 1 needs improvement, then it may be worth upgrading.The new version has a smaller, squat design, w...

Amazon has got many of things right with the Echo. Personally, I find it far more convenient and useful than other digital voice assistants. With the Echo in my bedroom, I can wake up and check the weather, enquire about train delays, and start music play...

Great speaker quality, Highly accurate voice recognition, Machine learning promises easier use over time
Limited inital skillset, Occasionally struggles to detect 'wake word' at high volumes
The Amazon Echo is a great speaker, but it's Alexa that really shines. Amazon's AI assistant shows us a world beyond touch interaction, and does it with so much polish and panache you'll wonder how you ever lived without it...
Great design and clever voice-recognition software, Great sound quality, Compatible with smart home kit
Works best with an Amazon Prime membership, Occasionally mixes up words
So will Echo be staying put in my home? Maybe. It's certainly easier to use than other voice assistants I've tried in the past, and the fact it's already sitting there on a shelf means I don't have to spend time getting my phone out to check the news or w...
