Remember Echo ? The always - on , phonation - controlled home base hub that Amazon launched to outstanding excitement seven month ago — and that Amazon would only grant you to buy if you were selected from interested Prime members ?
Today the fellowship said it would make Echo a readily - useable product for anyone who wants to corrupt one . What that connote about Echo ’s sales numbers is unclear , but Echo is now pronto availablefor $ 180 on Amazon . That means Amazon ’s recapitulation page is up , too , which interesting — even if there ’s an obvious difference of opinion of interest in the fact that Amazon hosts the reviews of its own product .
Out of 18,274 reexamination , Echo gets very respectable 4.5 star . The vast majority of reviews are positive ( like our own ) . Most negative reviews , of which there areonly 1,675,level the criticism that Echo is n’t as futuristic as they bear :
Okay . Not sci - fi hardware .
It works best as a bedside alarm clock . I do n’t apply it much for anything else … .. ”Alexa , set an alarm clock for 6:00am . ” “ Alexa , snooze . ” It ’s only break down me once . Unfortunately , I miss a flight that morning , but it was probably my break since I was drunk and hung over from the night before and plausibly said , “ Alexa , STOP ! ” in my sleep .
For now , and until link up home is REALLY up and running , the Echo is jolly much the same as any other part - control personal helper .
anyway , if you ’re interested in Echo , now ’s the time . Amazon says it ’ll start ship on July 14 .
