Amazon Echo Review: Top Questions Answered! 

Adam has Alexa in his shop. Anyone here have it? How do you use it?

I got mine, I HATE IT! I asked it if my penis is small. It laughed and said yes. I hope it has fun answering questions in the middle of Lake Michigan!

When google makes one of these you will have to listen to a commercial before it will answer your question.

So you have to tell Alexa to stop or she'll keep talking? If I wanted something like that in my house I would get married. LOL

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....

That awkward moment your name is the same as a Amazon product lol 😂

When he says Alexa stop, I feel like the thing starts holding a grudge and will one day blow up itself in his house XD

Seems like a neat idea. Can't wait for Google to make one that's way better.

2:22 Ronald Reagan? The actor?! Huah! Then who's Vice-President, Jerry Lewis?!

Imagine how annoying it'd be if your daughter/spouse was named Alexa

big mistake buying this. it just keeps talking and there's no entry point on it at all. making the switch back to fleshlight for sure.

It's fun watching this with my dot on, it's answering questions it didn't know on the video.

You guys are awesome keep up the amazing work..I will spread the word on my end. Great questions asked and great answers.

We've had ours 2 days now and love it. It can only get better.

Every time he said, "OK Google," in the video, my tablet responded.

Is it just me or does it seem like they just have bad chemistry in all the videos they do together?

Amazon banned my account because my friends kept ordering PS4s from my Amazon echo lol. I had 1 click set up and they would always say "Alexa order me a PS4" and i'd have it delivered the next day. After the 4th or 5th one I sent back for a refund they banned my account, it doesn't let me order anything else now.

Another great review tested crew . Keep up the great work guy's

This demo didn't impress me all that much. It just seems like a slightly glorified Siri. I'll wait till it gets some features that can actually control stuff around the house, like lights and the TV, thermostat, becomes more knowledgable, etc. great concept, just needs a lot of improvements for the next one.

LOL! I had fun with this video. Alexa kept hearing you and replying to your queries. Even so, it's a lot better than I expected. I can control my lights, music et al just by talking ... that is cool.

I love how blunt he is when he says "Alexa stop!"

Why is the white guy explaining how the technology works to the Asian guy

my wife is called Alexa, this is going to make my life easy.....

You just asked to play Jack white? You are the man!

Very helpful. Thanks guys

Are you guys currently still using the Amazon echo? I'd like an update if it has its practical uses in everyday tasks or you've just stored it somewhere in the closet by now haha.

It would be so useful to be able to say "Alexa play my whatever playlist on Spotify at 8:30 a.m."

when norm said "OK google" my phone started the Google search lol

I,m gonna show this video to my " Synth " in 20 years time to show her what her great grandmother looked like...

do i need to buy a wireless router to use this? I have the echo but i have an ethernet connection with att uverse. Do I need to buy a separate router and hook that up to my modem??

"Looks kinda like a bluetooth speaker!" It looks like someone duct taped two bean cans together.

This product is a great idea, always on, always ready. I would add some extensions to it, like the apple's old wifi express things, so you can plug that into a wall socket, it would connect to the thing and extend it's range.

11:32 NO NO NOT THE WHOLE ALBUM!

Great video, I learned a lot. You guys did a lot of in-depth testing, keep it up. I may pick it up, would be nice to control volume of pod casts and videos hands free ^_^

Great review for the product.I wonder if this device can be connected to a wireless printer and print the shopping list.TY GUYS!!

Will echo pairs with BT speakers for better or say stereo audio output?

Did anyone's Google now ok Google bar pop up when he said "ok Google?" 😂😂

Does this play MP3's on your phone that aren't connected to any services and apps?

Here's a funny thing. I have my Amazon Echo sitting next to me while I watch the video. When you asked how many startrek episodes there are, your Alexa couldn't answer and mine heard the command and answered 80. !

So it's listed at 4 - 6 month's for delivery on Amazon. I don't mind shelling out $99 (Gods know I've spent more on sillier things; just the curse of a geek that likes his toys), but am I gonna be receiving this thing during the summer and by the time Christmas rolls around the 2.0 version will come out? I understand that's how it goes sometimes, but will the updates be more software based than hardware? And our original Echo's be supported for a while?

A cool windows program I recently came in contact with is "Voice Attack" ($8) with that you can do many things commanding your PC with the voice. I bought it to use with 'Elite:Dangerous' but you can use it with basically anything :)

You can actually buy things (not just music) now. You can also set a purchasing security code and the unit will ask for the confirmation code before purchasing anything. Of course this is more than a year since this video was posted. I don't have one of these yet, but I will be getting one once they come back in stock. I'd say that this device is a success for Amazon. They had to make a whole lot of them to keep the price down and they are out of the last batch they received. That tells me they are in demand. What I find amazing is that you can get started with voice control (Amazon echo, Echo remote, Bluetooth light bulb, and a wireless outlet for less than $350.00. I know that sounds like quite a bit, but if 5 years ago you'd have told me in just 5 years I could get started with home voice control for less than $2000.00 I'd have asked what kind of good drugs you were on and where did you get them.

"Hi guys, It's Jack from Achievement Hunter..."

Great review guys you just saved me a hundred bucks!

Does it work with audible?

Can it play music from lets say my ipod or its just from amazon music?

"Ok Google" tripped my phone twice. Awesome.

NSA must love this.

Just what everybody needs, a microphone in our home sending the data to Amazon.

I want to set my wake up word to "Computer" and am hoping that they release a Majel Barrett-ish voice pack.

JESUS it's Jack from Roosterteeth

Everytime you said "OK Google", my phone responded. Thanks a lot.

Can this be tied to more than one person's "to do" list or Pandora account based on who's speaking to it?

I can remember my shopping list on my own.

I just bought one. I work in the kitchen a lot and hate manually setting timers. Alexa will be a time saver!😊

Will it use metric measurements for weather? Canadian here.

What's really funny is that I got the Echo today in the mail!

"Alexa, when is the end of the world?"

So if I add a bunch of stuff to my shopping list can I print that off some how? Does it send an email to you? It's an interesting product but not really something I see me using.

I wonder if I will be able to pair this with my Sonos play 1... feel free to answer that question.

"I heart radio is more of a European thing." Huh?

What languages con you set it to?

could you hook this up to another speaker system?

Gonna get this for my coursework and homework haha

The needler in the background is the best part of the video... :)

are these echos available in Canada amazon? can't find it on their website.

So far I've been unable to get Alexa to read my To-do-list out loud. Is this a feature? Also, can you get Alexa to read a reminder out loud at a given time?

10min in and they haven't even used it wow great test

This is kinda dope, I loved how responsive it is.

While watching this video - my Echo started following the commands in the video :)

The Amazon Echo ad is the best ad ever, please check it out (from the same people that brought you the Microsoft Songsmith ad I guess).

Will looks like he's fucken aged 60 years, gained weight, and hasn't seen the sun in about 6-7 weeks.

Thank you guys

Ordered one yesterday and I'm so glad this review mentioned that it doesn't have an aux-in jack. It's a deal-killer and I'm canceling my order now.

Is the top question: "What would a Pringles can look like in Tron?"

Should have been an Amazon/Google collaboration.

Does Amazon play music direct from youtube?

i need a girlfriend like that. who actually stops when you say stop.

Alexa, please dont enslave us,

Just ordered mine on 2/19/15 and its expected to be shipped between July 2 and August 1st this summer. got the invite after about 5 - 10 days later after asking for one. and as a prime member what the heck. One major concern, will it have enough memory for updates, it is a beta product, or are all updates via the cloud (cloud gets updated instead of hardware). other than that i understand that its a kitchen product but does it have audio out put to attach nicer speakers for richer sound. Amazon is onto something big here i think.

How does it work with multiple users and their different accounts?

1:50, it was probably him saying "NPR" that turned it back on.

NEED HELP. I'm located in Australia and i own one of these but i tried to download the app on my android phone to set it up but the app isn't available in Australia. How do i get around this??

Can it tell me how to avoid the Singularity or would that cause self-discovery?

...nice voice "colour", very pleasant yet formal/proffesional...:)

can i up load info on the echo if so how if not why?

Every time they said OK Google the Google now pooped up! Ah ha ha

skynet is here

Imagine if you got serveral of these, hooked them up to your home for turning on the tv lights oven exc. and had several of them hidden in your house were none of them interfered with each other... You could have a smart house like that one movie!

if they made this so you can say jarvis and make it sound like jarvis I am sold haha

I would love this thing to work with Amazon's Audible platform. If I could say "Alexa, play Lord of The Rings chapter 23" or something, I would buy it right now... only I can't. I'm in the UK :(

If you lose power would your alarm still come on?

Can medication lists and times(alarm) to take be created?

I jumped on this months ago and just received my email telling me to order it. I was amazed to see that I won't have it until April! People hammer on Apple for it taking a while to get a new iPhone and the wait for the Apple Watch, but MAN, that's a LONG wait for something like this IMO.

How do you reset the time

I guess now it's jarvis v.01 now because it does home automation

Do you have to have an I phone?

do you have to call it alexa or can you set your own "activation word" to wake it up

Imagine who's really listening ? To your everyday conversations
