There's one benefit to having both Echo/Alexa. When I have guests over and their fascinated by Echo it's much easier to have a conversation about it using the word "Echo" - otherwise they'd trigger Alexa using the wake word every other sentence..
It's also handy when Alexa is accidentally triggered (like one time when I was watching a youtube video). I whisper to my wife "Don't talk Echo is listening!" :)
- cobrophy 11y agoIs there any way to change it? I imagine if your name was Alexa (or even Alex) or had a close friend with that name you could also get a lot of false positives.

- mikeflynn 11y agoYou can change it, but the only other option is to have it respond to "Amazon."
