All right Siri, you have some competition my friend. Today I would like to introduce all modern consumers to the latest hands free, soon to become your best friend, and extremely personified, speaker device. Created by none other than the renowned team of Amazon, I present to you, my Amazon Echo review. Get ready for the device that can help you do it all, literally.

Designed first and foremost as a small speaker that has the capabilities to fill an entire room with sound, this little device will shock you with it’s ability to help you with everyday needs, tasks, and reminders. Let’s have a look see.

Hold on, it seems I may have forgotten introductions, my apologies, everyone, meet Alexa.

Alexa is the official name and wake word for the Amazon Echo. Say “Alexa,” and she is awake and ready to serve you. Amazon explains Alexa as the brains behind Echo, she is built into the cloud, so like a real brain she is always getting smarter, the more you use her, the more she remembers.

“I’ve never purchased anything before that made me smile. That’s just the kind of grumpy guy I am. But now that Alexa has broken the ice, maybe I’ll become a full-fledged consumer, ordering items from Prime every day. The one thing I’m sure of is that Alexa will be here at my side to help.”
