this is the best version of alexa echo. something I have become reliant on because I am visually impaired and I have MS. My life is so much easier and great that I can watch a movie or read a book just with voice commands. The device really makes having a computer & TV etc. obsolete and for a fraction of the cost. I highly recommend. I will say that I agree with the first reviewer it does not have the same sound quality. I am going to try to link my Echo as a speaker. FYI
