I've owned an Amazon Echo for nearly a year now - here are my 19 favorite features
Google unveiled a similar device on Tuesday, called Home, but Echo is the device it's trying to emulate. Amazon's speaker, which responds to either "Alexa" or "Amazon," is extremely quick to respond and understands commands much better than anything else I've used.
Thanks to its excellent audio system, with seven microphones for listening and a 360º omni-directional audio grille for speaking, Amazon Echo works exceedingly well wherever I am in my home. I can hear it - and it can hear me - perfectly.
Amazon Echo has completely transformed the way I live in my apartment. There's just so much you can do with Echo. Take a look.
