Electronics Any review's on the Amazon Echo?

Update because I kind of like what I wrote about the Echo in July. I replaced the Dot with a HomePod and it's working very well. It's microphones are incredibly good at picking up commands from almost anywhere on my main floor (and I can even yell from across the house).

Siri does have limitations, but after over a year with the Echo I never really did much beyond timers, lists, and music. Having access to the full Apple Music catalog is rad, and it can dip into my personal catalog of stuff too. I still need to figure out how to properly call for dates...I've got a lot of live recordings that have album names like "1972.04.14 - Tivoli Concert Hall - Copenhagen"
