Join in on the fun as I unpack and set up Alexa, the new product from Amazon called Echo. Just out of the box, I go through the voice training and have some fun in the process.
I couldn't get mine to work. Started watching and mine began responding to your taped voice. Funny way to be introduced to the technology. Thanks for posting.
Great review. Thoroughly enjoyed it my friend. Just ordered one and like you, I'm very excited to get my "Alexa"......Will probably be referring to this video once I receive mine for sure. Thanks for the great review.
It seems you have a good sense of humor and you and your alexa will do well together learning each other. I learned a lot from your video and will make my order as soon as I see a good deal. Thank you very much for sharing. Blessings
Tom - thank you. I loved your demonstration. it was clear and very easy to understand. I just received my Echo yesterday and I am having trouble playing songs. I do not have a subscription to Prime so I think that is where my problem is. Again - thank you for taking the time to show us how to use.
I've ordered one of these and it will be delivered in a couple of weeks. Can't hardly wait for it. I've got a Lifx Bulb and a Wemo outlet. I've waited 40 years to be able to control devices by voice.
Connie Haist Hi Connie...are you going to get him one? I recently started Alexa to listen to books from Audible when cooking. Does your dad live down here?
I thought this was a joke but bought one on prime day $129.00. This can play all my local radio stations, set alarms, play music from my phone and even play nhl games all by my voice. I done a complete 360, this thing is cool.
TY Tom...I can only assume Alexa's smarter now (2018). Am wondering if she learns by continued use? But if she plays music and you can set a voiced timer....invaluable when cooking. Am about to take the leap. The setup process you showed us was good and about what I expect when I set up tech...it doesn't work first try, lol.
As i played the video , my Echo was responding to most of your questions. Now i need to know how to set up a music library. Thanks for confirming that I am set up properly.
I got one for Christmas 2016 and I love it! So useful and helpful and I ordered mine from a shopping network called QVC and I didn’t get voice remote but I think I didnt get it because it was different place you can buy it or it’s because you just bought on amazon prime or regular no prime Amazon! Did you buy it from prime?
Thank you for the demonstration of Amazon Echo...your video was very helpful....now I'm off to Amazon to purchase Alexa. Thank you....and you seem so nice, I hope you find someone special very soon.....
Loved your video with Alexa! You are a cutie! I just received mine recently for a V-Day/ B-day present this month. Would have loved to see how you use the voice remote with her. I've recently bought the Fire TV stick with Voice remote that apparently works with Alexa as the remote alone for her is no longer available on Amazon and eBay selling for rip off. Can hardly wait to use the remote with her. BTW, next time ask how the weather is in Portland, ORegon (aka GRIMM country) She'll tell you it rains most every day for 8.5 months then sunny and blue skies from July 5th on through late Sept. **waves from PDX** All the best your way Mr. Hall.
+Cindy Pdx BTW, I took a chance and PRE-ordered that Battery Boot for Amazon Echo. Would love to have her a bit more mobile and not have to constantly plug her in when I go to my kitchen or outside by our pool and such.
+Cindy Pdx I too ordered the Mega Battery Boot 12-14 hrs. I hope it works as described in the videos. I don't even have my Echo yet. It will be here in two weeks and the Battery Boot in about 6 weeks.
hiiiii, i bought one amazon echo dot 2nd generation but it was like incomplete, doesnt have any remote cotrol or anything. and bought two of them, ido you think that its could be the posibility that you coud recommended me the exactly name of your product, i really wanted but its confusing to find it :( . thank you so much
I need help. I bought alexa in the US and downloaded her application and brought it to Brazil. Getting spotify so far so good. When I say "Alexa play Latin Music she responds that she does not know and goes with other types of music. What to do to work?
candy alexa do everything you ask control my motorized shades and switch Bluetooth on and off can it turn on bluetooth smart bulbs or just regular bulbs
My husband and I bought one several months ago and when he set it up we didn't have Amazon prime so he just put his email address in the set up. Now that we have prime I want to add it so we can listen to music but no where on the app does it let me change the email address/link up my prime account. I mean no offense by this but every time I call Amazon I get someone I can hardly understand so I just give up. Any help would be much appreciated!! :) TIA
I really enjoyed your video, unfortunately MY Echo was ON, and every tiem you said Alexa, MINE started talking. But I really like it. Thanks for making the video.
Your reaction when it answers you is so funny. You're like a kid discovering something for the first time.
I love how you kept wanting to talk to your Echo without the wakeup word. It shows just how convincing alexa is.
Thanks for the unboxing and setup Tom.
It was very relaxing to watch.
I couldn't get mine to work. Started watching and mine began responding to your taped voice. Funny way to be introduced to the technology. Thanks for posting.

Thanks Tom very informative video. Got my Echo today. London UK.
thanks for showing us how to set up, and your voice is very clear. It sure is a fun cool toy. Thanks again!
Not a toy
Seven years later, I’ll bet you have a good laugh when you watch your video. Lol 😅
You would "imagine" that you should plug it in?? Genius dude. PURE genius
It seems you have a good sense of humor and you and your alexa will do well together learning each other. I learned a lot from your video and will make my order as soon as I see a good deal. Thank you very much for sharing. Blessings
Kudos for a great video...enjoyed it right to the end.
thank you dearie, this has helped me build my understanding of this amazing product. Pretty sure I want one.
Just ordered mine . Thanks for your advice.
Cute as ... loved the video got mine to go under the Christmas tree:)
you're very welcome I appreciate your honesty and your positive attitude towards the product and I am purchasing one
Your face of joy at 4:11 when Alexa speaks for the first time is freaking priceless. Love it, good video.

Very nice review. Thanks Tom. I used to live in Naples. Sometimes we would drive to Ft Myers and hang out at the Lani kai.
Tom - thank you. I loved your demonstration. it was clear and very easy to understand. I just received my Echo yesterday and I am having trouble playing songs. I do not have a subscription to Prime so I think that is where my problem is. Again - thank you for taking the time to show us how to use.
A very natural and a frank VIDEO ..thank you from India.
Very well presented video man !
So excited for you; Getting one soon!
That was a fun and very 'real' experience. I'd love to know how much she's learned since last year.
"Alexa what time is it?"

Thank you for this video! It was helpful. My 81 yr old Dad wants an Echo for Christmas. BTW, I LOVE Fort Myers Beach!!
Connie Haist Hi Connie...are you going to get him one? I recently started Alexa to listen to books from Audible when cooking. Does your dad live down here?
I grew up on School Street, Ft Myers Bch.

I’ll bet Alexa can answer almost all of your questions now.
What was in that second item he took from the box. It was packed like the remote control.
Thank you for the demonstration of Amazon Echo...your video was very helpful....now I'm off to Amazon to purchase Alexa. Thank you....and you seem so nice, I hope you find someone special very soon.....
Thank you very much..and I hope I meet a special someone very soon as well.
somebody can help I got alexa echo for my birthday present but I can't find the app Alexa on play store
Do you have to have a monthly subscription to a music sight? Such as Spotify. Or is ok to just have a free access to Pandora or Spotify.
Might get this. How do you like it after a year of use?

Fantastic, thanks for your video, good info and funny. Its echo available in uk? Thanks.....
Yes it is available
Lol, my echo is now playing Mozart! And was trying to answer questions, but I only had the video on quietly.
What does the app look like
So does anyone know if you can use it just through Bluetooth as a speaker for your own music?
From the light root is round
I'm so excited my Alexa delivers today! Now that you've had it for a while any more new hints and tips you can share? Feel free to email me!
If my phone rings and I want to answer the call instead of picking up my phone how do or can I answer the incoming call thru alexa thanks
hey tom I think for volume down u supposed to say the number level of the volume like say alexa volume level 7 or something like that
candy alexa do everything you ask control my motorized shades and switch Bluetooth on and off can it turn on bluetooth smart bulbs or just regular bulbs
Amazon awesome
Can you play songs on demand from Iheart radio plus on alexa?
I didn’t get a remote or batteries. My darn echo stops working a lot
great video and your cute
Thanks Tom. I got my echo today, but she won't connect. Have to get my husband to try. He's the one with the brains, lol!!!

Fun video! I just got one today. This will help me set it up. I don't get why you are single.:)
for you it easy but it cant seem to connect to my wifi
Where are the old videos? All the videos prior to Aunt Ruths cheesecake are not showing up for me.
Do you have to use wifi I don’t have wifi
Please share the echo app its important which you miss
sorry i cant get the echo to connect to wi fi?
This is a great video. Where do you go on your phone to connect? I just got mine today in the mail. Thank you for your help.
You remind me of Stanley Tucci from "Fortitude"
I need help on how to make it work
Totally different way I've got like I got to a brick wall
Phone setting don't have amazon on at all
Van Morrison is John mayor. Am getting one for my blind mum.
I really enjoyed your video, unfortunately MY Echo was ON, and every tiem you said Alexa, MINE started talking. But I really like it. Thanks for making the video.
That's too funny, glad you enjoyed the video. Make one of your own!
Echo app? Searched App Store on my iPhone-there wasn't an echo app 😐
Tell Alexa "set volume to 10"
i have a samsung galaxy s7 and my wi fi wont connect how do i get it to connect?
Mine doesn't even get past the setup.
Can some one tell me the song in 11:19?
