Love This
I already had the original Echo in my kitchen and loved it, but the sound quality on this 2nd generation Echo sounds even better! I play music; use them as an intercom; use as an alarm clock and a timer in the kitchen; ask about the traffic, the weather, random questions; use for a shopping list that goes directly to my cell phone; use as a panic device to call for help; and on and on. This is my new buddy. It keeps me on time for appointments and helps me cook in the kitchen by giving me recipes for things already in my fridge and pantry. I found it really easy to setup since I already had the original Echo already setup. It took just a few minutes! I’d miss “Alexa” if she was gone. LOVE!

Awesome
I bought 2 and gifted a 3rd to a friend. Setup was easy and I love that Alexa gives me music, lighting and many other things. Love this.

Great! But.....no easy set-up
I don't know why I never thought to buy these before the sale was placed on them. I bought 2. I use them all day everyday for many things, mostly music and lights. What I was not expecting was the time it would take to set it all up. After many hour (5) of trying on my own I called for help from Amazon. What they didn't tell me was how many apps I had to download to my phone (not pc). All together I had to download 3 apps and it took 2 more calls to find this information out. Then the plugs had to be set up,which was a headache because I had to set up a group and name them (different app). I was ready to give up on the plugs and just buy the clapper thingy. All that said, I would love to buy just 1 more now that the ground work is completed.

Easy to use and Set up-A Breeze!
Had this set up in minutes! Already had an older echo. Now I can talk to my husband in the other room. Also can send him a message when I'm too lazy to type it! lol Should have gotten another for the playroom! Speaker sounds great. Easy to tell it to play Sirius XM. I love these devices!!

Amazon Echo 2nd generation
I just read the reviews for this and was so surprised. I received the two I bought and had no problem setting them up. Maybe took 10 minutes for each. We have a Bose and think the sound and clarity is so much better with the Echo. Going to buy two more tonight for the bedroom and my office.

Are u kidding me...
Reading the reviews are not anything we've experienced. I guess it's great IF & WHEN you connect Echo. We received 2 Echo's last week. My guy attempted for hr/half, gave up shaking his head...I'm the tech so I took over...OMG!! I contacted customer service which is somewhere in Pakistan, I'm guessing...but he did try to help...After 2 hr's plus some, he told me we had to buy a $50 ?? off Google, I swallowed the $50 & attempted to buy one but our bank refused the transaction. Not sure why but didn't care, exhausted, don't want it, finished, DONE...SENDING IT BACK. Glad to hear everyone else connected!! Enjoy) :(

Great value as a TSV.
Plug it in, download the app to your phone or tablet, and follow the setup directions. You'll need your password for your wi-fi and for Amazon. I was using a Bose wave radio as my alarm clock and for "snooze music". I never cared much for it as the music always seemed dull and muted. I'm now using the Echo and I'm blown away by the clarity of the speakers. A word of warning.....if you tell Alexa to set an alarm for the morning, be prepared to get woke up....right NOW...by an electronic barrage. I had no idea what was coming, but I found out at 6am.

Okay but not great
I have only been using this for a week so keep that in mind. I had a Bose bluetooth speaker that died and I needed a new speaker for playing music while working around the home. The sound on the Amazon Echo is not as good as the Bose -- period. But it's decent and better than most bluetooth speakers. The set-up wasn't the easiest and I still haven't set up all the features (I am not a tech savvy person). I got through linking it to my iPhone and being able to play music but I am still doing all the operation on my phone because I haven't figured out the Alexa interactive stuff yet. If returning stuff wasn't such a pain (just in general, not specifically to QVC) I would probably return this and buy the Bose speaker instead because I really only want to play music on a high quality speaker and all the extra features on this are just a pain.
