As anecdata goes, I have an Echo. It was an impulse buy when it came on pre-sale, then didn't know what to do when I actually received. I've been using it for quite a while now and the voice recognition is amazing, but the software is not really there yet. I can tell it to set up a timer from the kitchen (which is around a corner from the device) without much of an issue, even with my, somewhat strong, Argentine accent. Many of the commands it "fails" at is when it tries to "guess" what I might have meant to say because it can't find something in its database. For example, if I give it a wrong name for a song (say "Alexa play She's Leaving by The Beatles" it might play some song called "She's Leaving" by some other band because it can't find that song under The Beatles.
