Echo (4th Gen) with Premium Sound, Smart Home Hub, and Alexa - Charcoal

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Amazon Echo 4 generation is so much fun to interact with. It has a clear sound and wide performance. It's awesome and fits in with any decor. I'm so excited to see what all it can do. The blue light ring is a plus. I love it and listening to music on it is fantastic. Very impressed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 4th Generation Amazon Echo is a great addition to any room! I love the modern design, it can fit on any table, counter or shelf. The cord is pretty long which is a nice bonus if your outlet isn't right by the device. The sounds is top notch! You definitely get a nice balanced mix of sound all over the room the device is in. There are so many things that Alexa can do now, including pairing your smart devices with Alexa. This past Christmas, we really enjoyed having our Christmas tree plugged into the smart plug so we just asked our Amazon Echo to turn our tree on for us. My kids really enjoy asking Alexa to tell them a joke or to play a silly song. You can even add a kids feature to your Amazon Echo to make it kid friendly which is definitely a bonus feature if you have children. You can make calls from your Echo or ask Alexa to order you things from Amazon. I love getting notifications from Alexa that I might be running low on something that I order regularly and she will ask me if I want her to order that item for me. Treat your self this new year to the 4th generation Amazon Echo or give it to someone as a present, either way, it's a win/win for you and the receiver of the gift!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You must download the Alexa app, must have an existing account or make a new one. Then set it up and use WiFi. After the setup, you can play music. You can have your own grocery list, playlist and much more for lists. You can have Shopify, pandora and many more for listening to music but you have to connect to your account. It’s a very advance piece of technology. I love using it for music, and my lists that I have. Very easy to use, all you have to say is “Alexa” then whatever you want to do. Alexa is my favorite of all, I definitely need one in my bathrooms and kitchen. The do come in handy. I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for one!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The amazon echo is easy to set up and is so much fun to have! It’s great for people who enjoy listening to music and for doing other simple tasks. I personally like to use it with the smart plug . This way I can attach it to other devices such as my lights and my coffee machine. Another useful attribute Is that it is compatible with my Ring device.The sound is more powerful than the original and it has many more attributes. I am excited to spend endless hours relaxing And exploring cool features on my new Echo.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Prior to getting this Amazon Echo 4th generation, we had the Echo Dot. The Echo’s sound quality is top-notch and it is also very sleek, albeit larger. It is quite easy and fast to set up. It detected my other Fire-sticks rather quickly. We also connected our Ring Alarm, Nest Thermostat, our smart bulbs and an Amazon Smart Plug we just got. So now we only have the Alexa app to control these devices instead of several apps! Aside from the ability to play crisp sounding music, there is so much more that this Echo can do such as schedule alarms, set timers, play games. The smart plug was easy to sync with the Echo on the Alexa app and you can name it whatever you wish. We used it to connect our Christmas Tree, fireplace lights and the train set under the tree. All we need to do it say “Alexa, turn on Christmas Tree” and all these turn on! It simplifies turning on/off these lights. I want to get more of these smart outlets to use with our window candle lights. So instead of turning on all 10 lights individually, all I would need to do is say “Alexa, turn window lights on.” This is a game changer since we light our candle lights year-round. Additionally, to manually control these lights or set a schedule from the Alexa app, when we are away, adds a level of security plus it’s nice to come home to a lit house. The only cons which I noted were Alexa’s inconsistent response to commands. Sometimes Alexa responds immediately and other times I need to repeat “Alexa” a few times with a loud voice for the command to be followed. Also, the white power cord is not aesthetic as our Echo is black. Otherwise, this device is a must have not only for a quality speaker but to control a variety of smart devices which many households may have. We use it through each day. My wife says “Alexa” feels like a family member and amazes us when she recognizes our voices!

Love it so much I just had to get another one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this newest generation of echo for about a month. I have several of the older generation Echoes within my home as well as Echo dots and Echo shows. I even have an echo Studio and I guess you could say that we love echos around this house! The product works amazingly! The unit works very well! The speaker quality is amazing!!! It picks up our voices easily and at least 95% of the time from across the room. My only complaint, and it's a small one, it's the big round shape. I know that that's to imitate a piece of art or to be any more visually appealing but for us we just prefer the smaller version. It is much less obtrusive in our decor and it's easy to tuck in behind other things where this machine is not. Other than that one very small detail we love this one as much as we loved all the others!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very excited to receive our new Amazon Echo. I am very hands on with taking care of my parents and who knew a small device like an Echo would us so much with our daily routine!? The Amazon Echo (4th Gen) was very easy to set up. Once plugged in, you simply download the Amazon Alexa App and follow the prompts. Make sure you keep the Echo nearby when syncing and setting up. Once we followed all setup instructions, it was ready to go! We tested it with many different commands and enjoyed many laughs during the process. My mother recently had a fall and couldn't get to her phone to call anyone. I was able to sync my mothers phone to the Echo so that all her contacts would be available to call on command. She can now tell Alexa to call me (or anyone else in her phone contacts), hands free. As long as she's in hearing range of Alexa, she will be able to make a call. I plan to install one in every room in the house because of this reason. Not only does it give me peace of mind that she can call without having her phone in hand, we can set reminders to take her pills at specific times during the day, add items to her calendar and set a reminder hours prior to her appointment to start getting dressed and ready, add items to her grocery list, and so much more! We also enjoy playing music and even trivia games during my visits. It's great being able to ask Alexa a question and get an answer immediately. She a wonderful Assistant and I wouldn't want to go a day without her now!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The voice clarity on this is much better than other ones I have heard/used in the past. It is nestled nicely in the corner of our kitchen and does not stand out like a sore thumb. It comes back with results and responses rather quickly and is a great fit for our house!
