Top positive review

Interesting features, but very slow!

Reviewed in Australia on 10 June 2021

It has interesting features, does the job, but I am under the impression that the device is from 5 years ago. When you touch the screen to access a menu, you will have to wait a good two seconds for the new screen to appear which is sign of an extremely poor chip. The voice recognition is really good. The screen itself is ok but the light it generates at night will bother you if you are sensitive to full darkness

Was poor, but customer service did help

Reviewed in Australia on 13 June 2021

Bought this hoping for some Australian content which is sadly lacking. Keeps cycling through US baseball, basketball and crime news which is both irrelevant and depressing. Sure I can tell Alexa to play local radio but the video content is all US and the settings (so far) do not allow the ABC (the Australian one!) or anything else local. The pic shows the message received when clicking on the ABC option for video content - smarmy.
It looks like a clunky clock radio - really I prefer my sleek Echo Dot as this offers nothing extra except annoying visuals. Sound quality is good but again, no better than the Dot.
Edit to add: Customer Service emailed me within minutes of this review and changed my settings; this makes the device much more useful with local news content. I still prefer my Dot but this will now be good value.

I have a Sony google chrome that is about 4 years old. The Google app is so much more useful than this one. The echo will not recognise my partners voice and when you tell it to play songs it get it completely wrong. I am using it to display pictures and I have gone back to my old google device. I am glad I got it cheap when I signed up to Amazon.

Hi, if i paid full price for this I would be even more disappointed, alexa does not know anything compared to Google, it was not very easy to set up, I have asked her numerous questions and all I get is I'm sorry I don't know that one.... sorry for the bad review but it just isn't a good product I would not recommend to anyone, sorry again

Wouldn’t purchase again, doesn’t have a lot of features. Does as it says, very clunky to use on screen. Volume is great. Mainly use for reminders and daily updates. Only bought for $35, definitely not worth full price

Wife likes it.
Touch screen is slow responding.
I guess it's ok..if you buy it on discount would be disappointed if I had paid full price
There is much better available that do more.
