Excellent

I got this on a bundled deal. The echo flex bundled with the nightlight for $9.99. And it was a great deal. Great combo. The sound on the speaker is not very loud but loud enough if used in a small room but you can hook it to a louder spreadsheet via Bluetooth. I keep one on the bathroom with a nightlight attached to it. I play my music when doing my business and it's loud enough considering my bathroom is not that big. You can manually turn off the mic if needed. It plugs right into my socket without any wires dangling. The nightlight comes on when darkness is detected and goes off when it's bright. Great for a midnight bathroom run. If you choose not to use any accessories, the USB port on the bottom can be used as a phone charger. Alexa works like a charm on this. Overall, I really like this product.

Great Flexibility in application with the smart additions. Real value for money.

Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2020

Verified Purchase

Loved the form factor and the ease of adding various functionality to it by third party made for Flex devices. Would have loved for it to have two USB ports to be able to add a motion sensor and a clock for example. Paired with a good Bluetooth speaker, it eliminates the limitation of a rather thin sound from its built in speaker and the pairing is solid. The plug in to the power socket design eliminates dangling wires and makes it a neat set up. All in all ... one more device that offers a great option for those needing the functionality without the bells and whistles of other devices. Works really well with the motion sensor attachment. Miss the volume buttons though. Integration software has room for improvement. When motion sensor is detecting ... there is a 3-5 sec gap when the Flex doesn’t respond to Alexa commands.

Speakers too Small

Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2021

Verified Purchase

This is for a place you won’t be playing music. It can do anything else, but it can’t get loud enough to play music. I have a small bathroom and thought it would be perfect for showering. I couldn’t hear it, before getting into the shower, at full volume. It works just like the other Alexas and the sold-separately light is convenient. I’d hate to waste it on a hallway, where I don’t think too many people need an Alexa. However, I’d at least want the option for music in each room. It might be great for a guest room or a rarely used room, as it still has the capability to be an intercom.

A Nice Addition to the Alexa Family

Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2021

Verified Purchase

I have really liked this small Echo. It's great for the places in my house where I don't want a loud speaker or have oddly placed plugs. This one is in my bedroom and the clock gives off just enough light to tell the time, but not so much that it's blinding through the night. It's great at night for turning off the lights and TV as it's not as loud as the other Alexa devices we have (and are always forgetting to adjust the volume on after jamming to music. Yes, I said jamming. Yes, I'm clearly old). We have some random plugs through the house that are located in the middle of walls instead of near the floor, so this is nice instead of having a cord running all over creation. I'd recommend these in small rooms or rooms you don't want a loud speaker in. And I really like the clock addition. I hope to see this on more Alexa devices (asking her the time is just too difficult for my old and feeble voice).

Best attachment ever.

The media could not be loaded.

Probably one of the better attachments for the echo flex family. This makes you echo a genuine smart night light. The applications are intense because you can practically can do anything you want, period.

Tip: echo flex support to this attachment is crucial if you are unfamiliar with this software and kind of applications.

Color changing feature allows for slot of stretch in usem for children's rooms, hospitals, or bedrooms.

Integrity is interesting and confusing at first but expert support is provided thru the necessary applications.

works good especially the light. the flex is a good addition and substitute to getting another echo where space is an issue such as my kitchen countertop. only 2 issues with the flex itself, i only find that at times i have to speak louder and slower or have to repeat my instructions. also sounds boxy and robotic but overall it’s acceptable especiallly considering the price. i just won’t use it to listen to music.

Very low volume always :/

Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2021

Verified Purchase

Getting the product set up wasn't easy since I do not use the Alexa app (I have a smart plug and two echo dots, only the first dot was easy set up for whatever reason). The volume on the Flex is extremely low and no matter how many times I tell it to turn volume to 10 (if you say high it wants a number) it is still low. Alexa also would never respond to these requests although the light lit up while I was talking so I know it realized I was talking to it. Finally checked volume in browser and it was low. I've turned all the way up but cannot tell any difference. Bought to hear podcasts in the bathroom (my bathroom is TINY) and I cannot hear over the shower. (The plug is maybe 2 feet from the back of the shower.) I do like the clock with it so that when I get up in the night I can see enough of the room and know the time without turning on actual lights.
