But lights, refrigerators, microwaves and dishwashers? I just don't get the appeal.

I'm mostly the same, but do enjoy having our echo's turn on the lights in certain rooms before we get there. Or be in bed and have the lights turn off on command.
I also like that we can use the echoes to talk to each other on different levels. Like an intercom. Never fails I get all the way upstairs and forget something, so will 'drop in' on hubby in the basement and have him bring it up.
Also nice to just be able to ask it to play Disney songs, when my grandkids were sleeping over and restless late at night. I didn't have to dig them out on another device. I just asked.
Microwaves and dishwashers I wouldn't bother with. My daugher has one of those fridges where there's a screen on the outside, and she can see a camera view of what's inside. She says it's more trouble than it's worth, and just another thing to go wrong.
