Alexa needs more and better Setting Controls and a way to ignore small children who like to change music every 5 seconds. There are some nice features but are outweighed by the bad. A lot would have to change for me to ever give it 5 stars. This is bad having Alexa listen to your 3 year old crank up the volume. I don’t like the volume control as it blasted as it jumps several volume levels at a time and help destroy my new very expensive speaker system on my stereo which also is hooked to sound our TV. I like being able not to have to talk to Alexa and being able to type commands or to switch buttons. It was cute at first but now it totally annoying to the point where we just want to get rid of Alexa and the 4 units we bought. Other than changing Alexa’s name we wish you could make Alexa ignore a 2,3,and 4 year old. We constantly miss listening to our morning news and weather. When we say good morning Routine it plays on our echo in our bedroom instead of his bedroom. Our sons and our bedroom are close together. Units not in sync, cannot redesign lists order I am not kidding! You will be so grateful that someone invented this machine! It’s so helpful.
It becomes part of your life and believe me, it is a life-saving tool. that’s why I picked 60”s as a great age to buy it. To know that an elderly person is exercising, being social, eating regularly, and taking meds.what a relief! Buy an Alexa Show right now so you can get “you and your loved-one” acclimated to the machine before you actually need it. You can actually “drop in” on a lonely person and eat “together” even while you are in Delaware and your loved one is in Florida if you both have the Alexa Show. Is Grandma still in her pajamas at 2:00 in the afternoon, not getting out even though she assures you that she’s up and dressed and has walked the dog? This machine allows you to “drop in” and see grandpa taking all of his meds. It’s a great way to stay in touch with an elderly person.
