Let me start out by saying, these things are a breeze to setup up. All you do is download the app and follow the on-screen instructions. I had no issues setting up either one of the devices I bought and they both connected to my wifi flawlessly. I love the professional looking display and voice commands work very well aswell.
Also, the sound quality on these is pretty good considering the cost. Sound quality isn't JBL Charge level good but it's definitely better than phone speakers. They are loud, clear, and even have eq settings you can set through the app. You can even set these Echos up to play music through all of your Amazon related devices at the same time which can be useful and save you a ton of money.
Prior to purchasing these gadgets, I read mixed reviews on a lot of the things I mentioned, but I haven't experienced any issues. Some of the settings can be a pain to find, but overall, the app will walk you through setup step by step what you need to do to get them working and connected to your wifi. If you have connection issues, you need to check your network settings or your wifi range.
My 2 complaints are, 1) the devices came caked in dust even though the box was sealed; and 2) the buttons could feel a little higher quality. I don't use the buttons at all due to voice commands and control through the app, but that may be an issue for some users.
Something else I noticed was the horrible reviews linking the devices to Spotify. I didn't have these reported issues myself, so they could've been fixed with a firmware update, but it's definitely worth mentioning.
I feel like a lot of these issues people are having are either network issues, or user related issues. If you take your time and follow the on-screen instructions, you won't have any issues. At the very least, my experience was great with them and yours will be too. I highly recommend this product.

Easy to add to an existing network; maybe a problem for a newbie
