Love the concept - just not the limitation aussies are currently experiencing

Color: Charcoal FabricVerified Purchase

You read that this and that can be done with the new Echo Plus 2nd generation but in reality, for australia, it is seriously limited in its capability. If new to smart home setup, ensure you always check aussie sites to see what is actual or not with this product. Hopefully time will be short when we aussies can also experience the FULL wonders of Alexa

Good, but not great

17 November 2018

Color: Sandstone FabricVerified Purchase

Sound quality is better than the basic Echo, but well short of similar sized speaker systems such as Bose and JBL, and certainly not what I regard as ‘premium’. The Echo Plus smart home hub works well, but it’s Bluetooth ‘pair-ing’ capability is limited to only those Bluetooth devices approved (and sold?) by Amazon. (certain makes of smart plugs, certain makes of speaker systems, etc) I only realised - to my disappointment - that the Echo Plus will not ‘pair’ into my Bose Bluetooth speaker, which I frequently ‘pair’ into my iPhone to listen to music.

Cannot reccomend the echo plus enough!

10 February 2019

Color: Charcoal FabricVerified Purchase

Before purchasing the echo plus I’ll admit I wasn’t expecting it to do all the things it’s said to do. However I was shocked to discover Alexa (the echo plus) does everything it’s described to and so much more! This device has really made life so much easier and it’s also compatible with philips hue lights as described. The echo plus is regularly updated and brings even more amazing features such as games, shopping lists, alarms, controlling lights and air conditioners all with voice activation. The echo plus opens so many doors in technological advancements!

Amazing Alexa

I bought this product for my husband for xmas and he was beside himself. He had done a lot of research on what HomePod was the best one for us and Alexa came up trumps in many areas. And she didn't let us down. He was so happy he went out and bought the echo dots so we can have her around the house. Very happy with my purchase and very happy with the prompt delivery especially just before xmas.

Far better sound

7 August 2019

Color: Charcoal FabricVerified Purchase

I own a Gen 1 Echo Plus, along with a bunch of 2nd gen - and one 3rd gen - Echo Dots.

This newer model Plus replaced the old Gen 1 model in our living room, and the old model shifted into the kitchen - these two rooms are adjacent/open to each other, so having them near each other provides a decent sound experience. The newer Plus is noticeably clearer and has more depth in its sound quality when compared to the older Plus.

Other than better sound, the smaller form factor is great, and it's a nice bonus to have a built-in temperature sensor (although I'm not using this for anything right now).

One thing I've had trouble with is room awareness, which was fine before I shuffled the Echos around, but doesn't work at all now - i.e. walking into a room and saying "Alexa, turn the lights on" is met with a "Lights doesn't support that" response instead of her turning on the lights in the room she's in. I've tried a lot of stuff to troubleshoot this - including resetting all of the (Hue) lights and Echos in the house, and deleting/reinstalling all skills - but nothing has fixed it, so I'm at the stage where I'm going to have to reach out to Amazon for support.

Another thing I've had a little trouble with is the Bluetooth connection from my laptop to the newer Plus. This worked fine with the old Plus in the same spot, but it seems a bit flakier now including distorted sounds. My first attempt at a Bluetooth connection with the newer plus coincided with a Windows update, so it could very well be laptop-related rather than a problem with the Plus, but just mentioning it here in case.

Overall we're happy with this purchase, but we do miss the room awareness that installing this Plus seemed to throw out of wack.

Great update to the Echo plus

20 November 2018

Color: Charcoal FabricVerified Purchase

I find Alexa to be far more capable than Google in doing anything else than pulling web results. The integration with other apps via skills is brilliant, which you currently can’t do with competing smart speakers. For example the AnyList app syncs perfectly with Alexa even though it’s a third party integration. With other smart speakers you are limited to the smart speaker app itself to have the integration you want.

The hardware itself is a far more attractive speaker than the previous gen and sounds much more fuller. Pair 2 of these with an echo sub like I have to get a great audio experience.

Alexa is fun, a great addition to our family

1 January 2019

Color: Charcoal FabricVerified Purchase

We use this product for music, shopping lists, turning on lights, air conditioning, alarms, a wide range of services. Disappointed that she doesn't sync properly with our other Echo which is why I only gave a 4 star rating. Plus Amazon's grab for cash, we purchased Amazon music but it only works with one Echo; I believe in the same house it should apply to both Echos.
