I bought two (had my husband order one on his Prime membership) and I love them just to be able to listen to my local radio station. Doing that while in Idaho on vacation was really nice. The only issue I have is Alexa seems to listen too closely. We will be in another room, and she will start talking. She must have heard "Alexa" somewhere in our conversations. My family thinks it is creepy, and turns her off all the time. I agree, I hate Google insisting on gathering all my information, but somehow Amazon, which is so customer centric, it doesn't bother me so much. I am sure this is how fascist dictators got started.
