With the limited Australian skills this device works great and will only get better over time

7 February 2018

Color: Heather Grey FabricVerified Purchase

With the limited Australian skills this device works great and will only get better over time. Had the echo dot 2nd gen and this sounds a lot better with great bass. Perfect to use in the kitchen/living area while using the echo dot in the bedroom. Will slowly convert my house to a smart home with this being the feature.

How much fun are these

5 February 2018

Color: Charcoal FabricVerified Purchase

How much fun are these, works well with amazon music as well. Only thing is I can’t listen to amazon music on my phone while the family listens to it on the echo. Been waiting for years for one of these and finally I have one

It plays my Spotify library It reads my kindle books like a robot It turns on/off my LiFX lights It ...

26 March 2018

Color: Charcoal FabricVerified Purchase

Similar to my dot review (why did I buy both, I'm a fool, IDK, maybe amazon will patch things later) At present I regret buying it.

CONS:
It does not support Audible AU content.
It doesn't seem to support multiple users in Australia (so I can't add housemates to the networked speaker system so they can play their own playlists or turn off their room light without having to specify the name of their light).
It does not support ingredients in IFTTT (so it's hard to bend to your will to create custom phrases or actions unless you want to learn their full API).

PRO:
It plays my Spotify library
It reads my kindle books like a robot
It turns on/off my LiFX lights
It plays white noise on a sleep timer and wake me up in the morning

If you need a Bluetooth speaker it might be handy, but feature wise it seems Amazon doesn't care about Australia. A certain competing product can do all the things in the Pro list and does a better job in accommodating Australian customers with the missing features. I wish I'd pick up their product and maybe not spent so much money in Audible over the years.

Bought this for my mum after she had been asking about smart home devices. My whole family absolutely adore our Echo and it has become second nature to use it. It intergrated great with our smart lights (Philips Hues) and was a breeze to set up. Even in the 2 weeks we have been using it there is a constant stream of new Skills for Alexa, which is incredible when you think it's only been released for a month in AUS. LOVE IT and can't wait to get another one!

Great starting point for voice assistant even for Apple ecosystem "tragics"

16 April 2018

Color: Charcoal FabricVerified Purchase

As someone deeply entrenched in the Apple ecosystem, buying the Amazon Echo wasn't an instinctive decision.

However, I identified a number of first-world problems that I thought the Echo could solve, so decided to give it a try. The installation and set up was simple and took very little time.

The two big things I'd wanted the Echo to do for me were to add things to a shopping list "on the fly", and set timers. For this reason, we installed it in the kitchen area.

In addition to perfectly carrying out these "mission critical" tasks, I have been able to use a few IFTT triggers to duplicate the Echo shopping list on my Apple Reminders list, add events to my iCloud Calendar, turn on some smart bulbs.

I would certainly recommend the Amazo Echo as a great starting point for voice-activated home automation. Alexa has a bit of "personality" and the regular updates from Amazon suggesting new uses or skills keep the device "fresh" and fun.

Voice intercomm not so good.

15 April 2018

Color: Sandstone FabricVerified Purchase

The setup routines in getting two echo devices to work together were the most user unfriendly I have found in over 20 years of using and reviewing computers and associated software. Good concepts, but I had to spend too much time in the setup process. I have finally got my two echo units capable of communicating with each other and now find that the voice communication from upstairs to downstairs in the same house is too badly affected by the "echo" of voice on the Echo units versus hearing the same voice, distantly, in real time. The electronic delay makes the units less than user friendly. May be better if the real voice in the distance were not there, but then I have been trying to avoid just shouting at each other and find a form of intercomm instead.

Great Product definitely I recommend it

15 April 2018

Color: Heather Grey FabricVerified Purchase

The Amazon echo does amazing things and I use it every day. It helps me get ready in the morning, time conversions and many other amazing things! although I found when I am playing music at a louder volume I will need to say Alexa twice for it to hear me but that is only if I am in a big room and if I am near the echo it picks up my voice straight away! Another thing the echo can do which is just amazing is that it is compatible with Apple devices, including your iMac! that is a big reason why I opted for the echo instead of the Google home because it can sync all the stuff from my iCalender and many other Apple products to the Echo!

An Interesting start to smart technology

16 March 2018

Color: Charcoal FabricVerified Purchase

Echo has met my expectations but has not overly exceeded them.
The base use for me with this device so far is mostly searching, music, a extremely loud Alarm (i really needed that) and for keeping myself organized.
The skills are still something i am learning, and are proving slightly annoying but not too much, also Alexa sometimes wont understand what i am saying, although i never expected everytime it happens that it would occur almost 7 or 8 times.
I have yet to purchase Smart home products but i do intend to increase the amount of Echos in my house. They are useful and i am very happy with this purchase.
