In the Echo app itself there is a place to voice train.  I think that helps a lot because if others use it she doesn't understand them sometimes.  If I repeat it she understands.

I got the remote with my prime membership purchase in the spring. We love it. At that price it was worth it just for the speaker which we think sounds great.

It doesn't search the web like Siri does but Siri doesn't work very well for me. Alexa works great and yes, I did take the time to train her. But she seems to work well for anyone who visits us.

I look forward to new features they add to her!

I am not an Amazon member.  So In order to use the Echo you must be a member of Amazon??  Bummer if this is true.

Thank you for the link.  Well, Amazon is not for me as I do not shop online unless the vendors have a toll free # for sales.   Looks to me like you can only purchase items on Amazon online only.  I don't give out my cc info over no comp. I guess you can call me cyber parinoid.

Again, much appreciated.

I noticed HSN is now selling this too, $199.99. I can't believe how many people have never heard of the Echo.

We all have to feel comfortable using the Internet. You could use a gift card on Amazon instead of a CC. The CS at Amazon is just so good.
