Certified Refurbished Amazon Echo (1st Generation)

We have analyzed 7160 reviews and found:

37% of users say that: Product works great, was a gift, works, is great. Alexa is great, is awesome, is fun, is amazing. Sound is great, is amazing, is good, is very good. Echo is great, works great, can do, work. less than 1% of users noticed that: Response was we can't send you a replacement, are limited and generic. Wifi is the culprit, keeps going out, was impossible, was not working. Customer service is among the worst in the industry, don't get me started on the non-existent, is reading from a script. Warranty has expired, has expired by a few weeks, is no.
