[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!
