The editors liked
The Echo Plus keeps the original Echo's design (and its beloved volume ring) while adding in an aux-out jack
A Zigbee radio to control smart home devices
And an incremental boost in sound quality. It costs $30 less than the original Echo
Zigbee connectivity is a plus
Sleek design
The editors didn't like
The Plus also costs $50 more than the new Echo
Which has everything the Plus has except for Zigbee. The Alexa app isn't the fully capable smart home control center that the Echo Plus needs it to be
At least not yet
Not a huge difference in sound quality versus the regular Echo
Alexa is super easy to use, Ever growing number of skills, Smart Home integration shows real promise, Noise cancelling much improved so mic more receptive, Easy to pair with Bluetooth speakers, Well priced
No Z-Wave built-in, Audio quality still not as good as some other speakers in the price range, Video app based skills lacking compared to audio
The Amazon Echo range, along with voice assistant Alexa, is probably doing more for the idea of launching the Smart Home concept to the masses than any other set of products and the Echo Plus is at the vanguard of that. The Echo Plus is externally identic...

In this review, I laid my cards on the table pretty early and I stand by that stance. The Amazon Echo Plus is worth buying for the improved sound quality alone. It's vastly better than the original, and although it does lag a little behind the best Blueto...

Alexa is a leading light in smart devices, perfectly acceptable sound quality for daily listening, constantly expanding connections and functions, lower pricing is more attractive
Some software annoyances, app needs some work, sound quality drops at higher volumes
With the second-gen Echo and the Echo Plus both being cheaper than the original Echo, Amazon is making the Echo universe more appealing to your wallet. The fact that you get more from the Plus than you did from the original Echo, for less money, is diffic...

A clever attempt at unifying the smart home, but the Echo Plus needs a few improvements before it works flawlessly.Twitter...

Improved sound over other Echo devices, Still the king of smart home skills, Alexa is increasingly capable
Sonos One sounds better, Design looks dated next to 2nd-gen Echo, High price compared to other Echos
Is it possible for a gadget to be both truly wonderful and a little underwhelming? Yes it is - and the Amazon Echo Plus is proof. This is a supremely smart speaker which could easily run your whole home, and is also the best-sounding Echo device ever. Wh...

Abstract: Despite what you may have read, the Amazon Echo was never a do-anything smart home device. Sure it could tell you about the weather and maybe control your lights, but it lacked the under-the-hood hub capabilities that could make all your connected devices...
Built-in smart home hub eliminates the need for a bridge between Alexa and your smart home devices, Seamless pairing with Zigbee compatible smart lights, switches, and plugs, Three color choices (black, white, and silver) available, Multi-room audio featu
Sound quality of speaker isn't as rich as we'd hoped it would be, Doesn't allow you to connect to other Amazon devices linked to different household accounts
Do buy it if you're in the market for both an Alexa-enabled home assistant speaker and a smart home hub at the same time. If you just need a home assistant device, the cheaper all-new Echo, Echo Dot, or Google Home are better choices. If you're looking fo...
