I've had Alexa for over 2 years and didn't realize I haven't dropped the review, it's pretty good and all, I guess I have the 3rd generation so it's not that perfect with the voice recognition sometimes and other times doesn't understand what I say but it's pretty chill having one, music, reminders, it's a clock with alarms so it's pretty pretty neat. Recommend it 100% hope someone grab it on sale.

I really like this little light! I have it programmed to turn on and off at certain times and it's great to have a wee light on when I go into my dark bedroom at night. I also like the different color ways you can choose. My favorite is the ocean theme. I recommend this light!

I bought one of these for myself when Amazon was doing a $9.99 promo code deal for these. I don't have kids but I thought this would be a cool little feature to add to my room. It does pretty much exactly as described. You probably can't light a whole room with this but it's perfect if you want some minimal lighting at night or to add some sort of ambient/mood lighting around furniture or electronics. The Alexa integration is perfect and works similarly to any other smart light.

However, there are two drawbacks to this lamp. The first is that the cord is built into the lamp. I'm surprised it doesn't plug in like the Echo Dot. This just makes it slightly more tedious to route the cord where you want it depending on the situation. However, the most annoying drawback is the tap feature. This is supposed to allow you to tap the lamp to change the color, but this feature works too well. The color will change if the surface the lamp sits on is disturbed in any way. The headboard of my bed has shelves so I put my Echo Glow there. However, if I get in/out of bed or move at all, the lamp will change color, even though nothing is touching the top of the lamp.

I think the Echo Glow is worth the $9.99 I paid for it, but I'm not sure it's worth the full retail price. Just be aware that you should put it on a very stable surface that won't move if you do buy one, or else you'll constantly be changing it back to the setting you want.

Okay, so I wanted to post an update to my original review (shown below)... First off--THANK YOU to Amazon's tech support for your fantastic service. I had planned to call tech support to see if there were any ideas as to how to fix the problem described below but before I got to it THEY CALLED ME! On Sunday afternoon no less. Clearly Amazon pays close attention to the reviews people post. Their first call gave me some suggestions to try and said to get back in touch if they didn't work. Well they didn't work so I planned to call the next day but ran out of time. Then before I could get to it the next day THEY CALLED ME AGAIN! At this point I was utterly dumbfounded by the incredible level of customer service being provided--I mean really, who does this? Anyway during the second call we did finally manage to trouble shoot the problem and get it working. The solution we found was that there was a needed firmware update that wasn't happening due to my router not being pointed to Google's DNS servers (8.8.8.8) -- something I normally do right away with a new router but as the eero routers came in the midst of Christmas, I just hadn't gotten that done. So once the router was pointed at Google's DNS servers I had to unplug all the routers except the primary one attached to my ISP modem. At that point the update happened quickly, the glow started working correctly, I brought all the other routers back online and moved the glow to it's final position and it continued working properly. It has been working properly for several days now without issue so I think we can safely say, "problem solved." Hallelujah! Oh, and to top it off, Amazon called back again the next morning to verify that the glow was still working properly! Wow. Just wow.

So in the end, I'm moving my rating from 1 star to 4 stars. The customer service was 5+ stars. However I still have to ding the device just a little because the problem was caused by the glow needing an update it couldn't get because of a compatibility issue with my router's default settings. I'd normally let this slide but in this case the router (an Amazon Eero) and the device (an Amazon Echo Glow) were both brand new and arrived on the same day from the same company (Amazon) and yet for some bizarre reason were incompatible until I manually repointed the DNS server address. That seems like a somewhat dumb oversight and has to dock the rating at least a star.

That said, the device works, my daughter is elated, and I look like a hero in her eyes. So, yeah, Amazon's technical assistance absolutely rocks! Thanks!

This is just a totally defective product. Got it for my 7 year old daughter for Christmas and she loved the idea but the REALITY of it made her want to cry and me want to crush it with a rock.

Set up was a breeze and for the 5 or 10 minutes that it worked, it was fun. But then every time she'd ask Alexa to change the light we'd hear "Echo Glow is not responding." I checked our eero app to see if it was online and I could see it continually connect and disconnect from wifi over and over. Amazon says to just unplug it and plug it back in and it will reconnect"”FALSE! It NEVER reconnects so you have to go into the Alexa app on your phone and delete the device and then manually set it up again. I did this no less than 20 times on Christmas and every time it would stop responding after a few minutes. So I decided it must be a defective unit and requested an exchange.

A week later we had a new echo glow. I set it up and everything seemed to work just fine. Until... "Echo Glow is not responding." Same exact thing. So this time I decided maybe it just has really lousy WiFi antennae so I moved a router into the same room about 10 feet away and set it up again. Everything worked fine... for 7 minutes and then, "Echo Glow is not responding."

At this point I can definitively say that this is a systemic problem and this product is just absolute junk. Thanks for that Amazon! Please in the future, before you release a product specifically target at kids, try a little harder to make sure it's not junk. I cannot even begin to understand how this product has anything but 1-star reviews. Oh and for anybody that may think it's just user error, I should tell you that I've worked in IT for over 10 years with 3 major corporations and a major research university. Pretty sure that I am not the problem.

esta lampara es una muy buena opción para los niños por que yo compre una para mi hermano menor y le gusto mucho.
