Customers like the performance of the digital device. They say it's a substantial, solid, well-functioning device that is a welcome support in home automation. It works very well with the Echo products, and does a very nice job of playing AMAZON music.

Customers like the quality of the digital device. They mention that it constantly learns what they want and very accurately learns their preferences. The sound quality is phenomenal, offering rich and immersive audio. It creates shopping lists, gives weather, traffic reports, and news when they need it.

Some mention that the Bluetooth is pretty impressive, it was easy to set-up and pair up with their network, and it has good integration with smart home products. However, others say that it may even have some connectivity issues, and that the communication level is not that great. Some customers also mention that they would drop the internet connection and setup memory needing to be re-created. Overall, the opinions are mixed, and the product is a mixed bag for connectivity.

Great speaker for music

Great speaker for music
I use this in my garage to provide music while I am working. I have one in my kitchen as well. I love the ability to have voice control while I am working. If I hear a song I do not like I just tell Alexa to skip it and I do not even have to take my hands off of what I am working on. Often times I am on the ground working on a motorcycle, an ATV, or a side by side so the hands free selection keeps me rocking. I have Alexa tied to Pandora and Audible. So I can listen to my favorite songs or an audio book. The sound is surprisingly good out of such a compact unit. I remember when I had a large stereo as my garage solution and would have to stop what I was doing so my ears did not have to be assaulted by a bad song. Those days are gone. I have smart lights as the main can lights in the ceilings of my house designated by room. I can just tell Alexa to turn them on/off, change the color of the light, and even change the intensity of the light from 1-100% all with my voice. I now even have a Jeep that I can remote start with Alexa. I just tell Alexa to get my Jeep warmed up while making my coffee to go. Very powerful device with a great look and great sound.
