AMAZING SOUND!! I got some smart plugs so that I could turn on inside lights if we come home after dark with the app on my phone.My 82 y.o. Dad lives with me & has a hard time walking & he’s also losing his ability to see at all in the dark, because of Macular Degeneration. So the last thing I need is him tripping over something in the dark, trying to turn lights on!!I have an Echo & Dot in my room, which I mostly use to stream music with my Amazon Music Unlimited.I was controlling even his bedroom light & the hallway light with the app on my phone as well as my Echo.So I bought two more Dots during prime day sale.It’s been a game changer!! My Dad struggled, even with the app on his phone to control the lights. Now that we have a Dot in his bedroom & an Echo & Dot in the living room, he’s very easily learned how to ask Alexa to turn on the hallway light, his bedroom light when he’s going to bed!! NO MORE STUMBLING AROUND IN THE DARK or trying to…
My Echo was secretly listening in on me. I have 3 Echo’s and each one is now unplugged. If you go to the Alexa app and choose your device —> settings and then history you’ll find a long list of recordings the echo has made while secretly listening into your home. I had no idea this was happening and I find it very creepy. Nobody was using the wake word, etc. It just listened in and then recorded bits of conversation. I’m getting rid of them.**UPDATE** I discussed this issue with Customer Service who, by the way, have the best Rep’s in the world. Their engineers reviewed my data and concluded the sounds being recorded were coming from a TV in the room. At first it was hard to agree with them but after I listened over and over to a few of the recordings it was apparent it was from the TV. My Bad!! I’m back to being an Echo fan. ð
Remember GEN 2 is an updated version of the original. be sure you’re reading reviews and online info that are up to date. Let me preface this review by revealing a few facts about myself. I am male, aged 75 years old, and more tech savvy than most people my age, but if you can use a modern computer, and own one, you should have not problem using this device. IT IS SO FAR, MIRACULOUS, and intriguing! I bought mine about a week ago, and waited till a couple days ago to jump in with “both feet” and set it up. Even though I once did computer tech support for Dell computers, It was a long time ago now, and a lot of tech has evolved since then, and i have the same fear of new things as most people my age, though admittedly higher skills. I also own an Iphone 6s plus, of which I have mixed emotions. The Iphone is made by apple, and Apple’s idea of “intuitive” and mine are very different. Microsoft is much better at designing “intuitive” into an operating system than Apple. Aniyway, You will need some type of connected WIFI device to use this product. (read that Cell Phone with it’s own…
