I've owned the Alexa since their first release. 80% of my request are the weather for the day. Ask for the weather forecast the next few days and she falls short. Other than that she's good for playing music on Spotify or Pandora, and occasionally I'll ask for the time. I haven't tried Google Home, but the fact that it will read the first search result snippet as an answer seems light years ahead of Alexa. Side-note: I just made the connection that Amazon bought Alexa.com the web analytics company a long time, and has named Echo's personal assistant Alexa. No coincidence, right? Although they never really mention it.
