    Wizard of a device
  

*by A***H on Reviewed in India on 2 June 2022*

This is the entry level Alexa device. Performs all functions well. I use it to control my TV and AC. When paired with a Crabtree smart IR remote, gives access to all AC modes and temperature settings and also sets timer. Equipped with an aux jack to connect an existing speaker and a usb port capable of charging phones.This is NOT a music playback device. It's a basic Alexa device to control smart homes and interface with other Alexa devices. If music is required, use an existing speaker and an Aux cable. Got this for 900 rs in latest sale, worked like a charm. Got it up and running 30 secs after opening it. Voice recognition is good, picks up even a slightly low, slurred or jumbled voice easily.Only 1 irritant - when AC timer is nearing 0, it starts loud beeping to indicate final countdown. This is highly irritating. Some option should be given to turn down the volume or turn off the beep fully

    Decent device
  

*by R***A on Reviewed in India on 25 September 2022*

Not great for music so it’s best to connect it to a Bluetooth speaker to enjoy an echo dot like experience . It’s got very powerful microphones so it can’t go wrong for voice commands.For the rest it just functions like the echo dot .What I love about it is that it’s very space economical and can be plugged in to any 5A wall outlet and is within the range of Wi-Fi coverage.We live in a two storey large house and I personally use it in my kitchen as part of an intercom client to pass on messages from anywhere.The other advantage of being in my kitchen is that it can  update your shopping list with just a voice command . I also use it to control my kitchen lights.

    The best Echo device for India
  

*by G***N on Reviewed in India on 24 December 2019*

The Echo Flex may not be received in a good light internationally, but trust me, for India, this is the best Echo device. Let me explain-In India, most people have their electrical outlets at 1 to 1.5 metre above the ground, and usually away from any tall furniture. Hence, the echo Flex makes perfect sense, as you would no longer have to find a spot to place your echo dot, and manage the nasty cable hanging from the wall.Secondly, most people buying Echo devices would be using it for two main purposes- (1) Listening to music, and (2)Using Alexa voice commands to control smart devices or know the weather, etc.. For listening to music, most people already have at least a set of 2.1 speakers with Bluetooth. In that case, connect this to your speakers and listen to a music in much more detail. And the sound quality of the Echo dot is not that good compared to your speakers to begin with. And for stuff other than music, the built in speaker is enough for a decent sized room.Also the echo flex includes a USB port which can  supply upto 1.5A. That's incredible. And talking about the USB port, it supports third party add-ons like motion sensors, etc.. Now, I am not sure if or when the add-ons will be available in India, but I really wish they are, specially the motion sensor. Lastly, it is the cheapest Echo device with a built in speaker, as of now.Also, kudos to Amazon for the setup experience. It was basically plugging the echo to the outlet, and waiting for a few seconds. That's it. Seriously. No need to touch the mobile phone. But, there is a catch. It only works if you have a previous echo or fire TV, or anything for which you have your home wifi network credentials saved in your Amazon account, and you have opted for the "Link this device to your Amazon account" option in the product page while ordering. Yet, it's an amazing gesture towards convenience.The only downsides with the echo flex, to me, are it's massive size(which can cover the socket or switch next to it if they are too close) and the fact that the USB port cannot be controlled.Clearly, the Echo Flex is not for everyone. It depends on where and how you want to use Alexa and Amazon services. For me, this is the best thing ever. I have a wall outlet just above my computer table, and I have connected the PC speakers to the echo flex via Bluetooth. No hassle of managing wires or shelling out extra 600 to 700 rupees to buy a wall mount. Great product, Amazon.
