UPDATE: my updated review here - • Amazon Echo and Dot re...
The Amazon Echo is a great product, especially if you can picture yourself using it in any of the scenarios from the video. Check the latest pricing here: geni.us/amznecho
I also highly recommend using wemo switches with the Echo for lamps and other things, like in my case my christmas tree - amzn.to/1TGfgMm
In this review, I did not go over every single feature with the Echo, but instead, I wanted to show the main uses that I think the majority of people would find helpful and interesting.
Using it with Hue lights was just awesome.
Thanks for watching!

I got one for an 83 year old, and he loves it. He would never log on to Pandora, or listen to a pod cast or an audio book. Just tuning in the radio was a chore. With Echo he just says play and the call letters and the station comes on. It's opened up the internet to him and being from the Radio generation he likes to listen and the sound quality is much better than a 1945 Victrola. I would highly recommend it for the elderly as long as you are willing to do some tech support. * Old Time Radio * Pill Reminder * Controls lights, he no longer has to go into a dark room to turn on a light * News and weather on command

like the features, setup was difficult for some of my devices (August Door lock, ru-vid.comUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-dKeb4aB Bose speaker)... but all switches and outlets (5), thermostat, tankless water heater. Unfortunately all I can do is turn on/off Bose. It doesn't support volume or changing channels, but I believe that is due to the particular speaker I have.... Worth getting if you already have other devices to use it with... I don't sit around and ask Alexa questions much so that doesn't really matter to me....

They have improved Spotify. I've had mine since late Nov... frankly I don't know how I'd live w/o it now... especially for the shopping list feature. Love the paranoia comments in the comment section. They really made me laugh. This is one of, if not THEE best review video I've seen so far. (and I've watched a bunch) Thanks!

I hate these comments.. They literally make no sense... I fthe NSA did spy on us, they would use EVERY FREAKING device in your home. If you have a phone: RIP new tv: RIP PC: RIP Laptop: RIP Skype (or any other calling software): RIP Amazon Echo: Why would they even bother bribing Amazon to spy for them? It would plane out, be a waist of money for them. So if you believe all this stuff, and have bad faith in our government, the Echo will not be a big issue. Start thinking omfg

Good honest review. Last year at this time, Amazon was sending out invitations for the Echo. If you were a Prime member and received an invitation, the purchase price was $99. The only downside to this was waiting 4+ months to receive the device. I was lucky and got mine in February. The Echo was one of the best purchases I made in 2015 hands down and it is used several times daily. Now if only she would say "you're welcome, when you say Thank you.

+Michael Carson ha very nice you got the early deal, i remember seeing the invite but didn't really understand the need at the time. i'm with you on the best purchase of the year too. funny you say that too because my girlfriend is always thanking her and i'm like wth, no need, she is our slave, lol

One of the better reviews of the Echo on RU-vid. I like how the reviewer gave the viewer and sense of how the product is in real world rather than others' which were done in a studio and just spoke to its features. Why did it seem like you were shouting whenever you spoke to Alexa? Did you feel like you needed to, to be heard? Or would it not register if you spoke too softly? I'd be interested on how low one could speak for it to still accurately pick up the words.

Amazing, I waited a couple months for it to come back in stock. Shipping was fast, when I got her (Alexa) I felt like a child on Christmas day : ). Right out of the box the set up was simple. One thing though... I'm from a Caribbean island Trinidad & Tobago.I set up a JetBox account, I give Amazon a Miami address, they ship product there, JetBox ships it overseas to me. So I'm limited a little bit : no app for my cell phone, no Pandora or rest of Premium audio stations, thank God I can still use Tune in & surprisingly Amazon Prime Music, can't buy songs though, can't access Prime Video either. I'm a regular customer on Amazon & with access to their Prime music it's enough for me to stay a Prime member now : ) Alexa works really well, I'm limited for now till next month to fully Automate & upgrade my home with lights, sensors, plugs... the works. For now She understands about 90% on the first try 5% on second, 3% have to rearrange my words, 2% nothing, I understand her about 99% of the time, sometimes she talks a little fast. Her sound for her size is amazing. When I want the music loud I tell her to raise volume to 8, 10 would be overkill. Sometimes I forget where the music is coming from, I have a Bose sound system, of course no great base but you hear everything clearly. You can stay across the room & talk to her & she hears you clearly, but if music playing more than volume 6 she may not here you, I bought the remote separately, works great, so music can be loud & I just use remote. On youtube They show a lot of easter eggs... things you can ask her & she responds in funny entertaining ways, maybe over 80 cool responses she gives you, then there are cool skills you can access (from amazon site & app as well) to further upgrade her, of course there are a few Quirks with some of the 'skills' & some useless ones, but a lot are unique & can entertain children & adults as well. She plays music from my phone as well with no problem wish she could answer & make calls for me as well. She is well built, feels sturdy & sleek. Can't wait till I can use her to her Full potential : ) Customer care looks at your responses on the Amazon site, I gave a feedback that she didn't understand a question I know I asked clearly, they responded like 5 minutes with an e mail indicating they checked into it & that by refraising the question I'll get the desired response, I did & it worked, give those guys a raise of pay.

I have to admit this was the best and most honest review of the Amazon Echo I have seen. I have a large house and was thinking it might not be a good idea to get one right now. I figured a smaller home would be they way to go and your view covered that for me. I think I'm going to wait for the next gen Amazon Echo to see if they do make it so I can have a few that work as one unit as you stated in your review. Thank you for a honest review!

The Echo is about $30 cheaper now and the Dot has been re-introduced at $49. It comes without the horribly over-priced, and jammed in, hard to understand speaker of the Echo and allows you to hook up any speaker of your own via 1/8" jack or pair multiple Bluetooth speakers to it one at a time. Everything else is pretty much the same. This video pretty much is an ad for Hue lighting which is unbelievable expensive. I think at the beginning he must have stacked up over $900 worth of it in those boxes. I can't believe he has so many mood lights in one home. You can buy WiFi switches for your own lights on sale for $19 each that work just as well from TP-Link. I highly recommend this device in the Dot format. I have 3.
@hery011490
@hery011490 8 лет назад
I love mine, n i agree w you. I think one of their biggest next steps should be interconnectivity w other echos, something along the lines of what Sonos does. Better n different speakers for different rooms that can also respond to commands. So that it feels more like Tony's Stark home assistant in the Iron Man movies. That omnipresence feeling it'd be quite something. Then I think it'd be a no brainer for anyone. All together I think home automation should be standardised, so that no matter which brand you buy it still plugs to your hub. In my case, I really like what Lifx is, no hub n their lights are interconnected. If they so happen to add plugs n switches to their line up, w this new update where the Lifx comes as a skill for the echo, I think it should be a pretty neat set up. Add to that voice controlling your entertainment set up, TV, home theater, DVDs, projectors n what not. Change channels, volume them up/down. Could be the best ever yet. The echos got a lot of potential, a lot. It's a shame that the app makes you feel like amazon doesn't really care, nor does it plan to make it better, or at least what it would be

The main reason I read they dont integrate door locks with the echo is because its microphones are good enough if someone knew you had it and wanted to break in they could simply yell for alexa to open the door. Although it would be nice to at least have the function to tell it to lock the door.

I use Alexa for my lights as well. Since this review she's had some updates and works with nest thermostat and adt pulse alarms. With Nest you can set the temperature and ask Alexa what the temp is in the room but you can't yet tell Alexa to cut it on or off. Amazon tells me their working on getting that into an update. Alexa also now gets SiriusXM which sounds a lot better on the echo and show. You have to be a have SiriusXMs most expensive package for it to work on Alexa.

Great info, thank you for posting. I would get one but from what I hear my UE Boom would play music better (sound better) and that is one of the main reasons I would want one of these.

I wonder when feminists are going to start saying that it's sexist to have a female voice. Since it's being ordered around all the time.

They won't just say it's sexist. They'll say it's "misogynistic" and hates women.

Shopping List tip: I've found that you can just say, "Alexa, I need more milk" and the Echo will add it to my shopping list.

Have you thought of adding a Logitech Harmony Smart Hub to your network? Good for turning on/off and change inputs on your TV/Stereo. Also changes channels, all without a remote or phone app.

Thanks for the thorough review. I've been curious about this product for the longest time. I really don't think I'd use it enough to justify the expense, though. So I'm gonna pass on it for now. But if I someday automate a bunch of stuff in my house, then perhaps I'll take another look at the Echo to see if it's compatible. Also, it would be a big plus for me if it could connect to my iTunes natively.

Very very nice video. I found your video on my recommendations and I'm glad I did. You showed Echo in a way other reviewers don't, and my use case would be similar to yours, except that I don't have those fancy Hue lights... I should look into those. Anyway, your condo looks nice and techy. I want mine to be like that too. What would be one gadget I can start with that can make the biggest difference? Are those wifi lights really all that? I've subscribed to you. Keep up the good work.
@techfreshness
@techfreshness 8 лет назад
+Jhon Pereda (JPere) hey jpere, glad you found me as well! thanks for the comments man. well i do love the hue lights, but they are very expensive, worth it but not without their quirks. you want one 'gadget' for your place to make it techy? are you a music lover? good speakers/sound are like my number 1 priority in any place i move to

Good review! I picked up the echo for the same reasons you did when they had their black Friday $150 sale. I love the shopping list, timers, alarms and Phillips lights features. I use it all the time, and it is much more convenient than grabbing my phone to do those tasks. I do wonder if they will ever integrate Spotify. Amazon may see it as a threat to their Prime music service and not want to offer it, but Amazon is pretty limited compared to Spotify.
@techfreshness
@techfreshness 8 лет назад
+kme06d nice, i wish i got it on that sale. yeh good point about the spotify, ams lacks a lot of stuff and their desktop app is confusing as hell. i really wish you could set an alarm and have her say the specific reminder though, much needed feature imo

Good review until the end. It's only 180 bucks. Right now it's the only mainstream voice activated device for your home and it's just cool to have. I've used this way more than other entertain devices I've spent this kind of money on.
