Do you too feel that Echo Devices have made human lives easier? Well, these echo devices are surely meant to control your home through voice commands and can handle pretty much every smart home appliance. And though there are a lot of smart products available in the market, people generally opt for Amazon Echo Devices for the following reasons:

  • They are smart and sophisticated and are compatible with a lot of devices and smart appliances in your smart home.
  • They are pretty affordable and cost a lot lesser than the other smart speakers and devices n the market.
  • They are quite durable and last a long period of time. Also, they come with genuine warranties as well.

With all such advantages, I think the Echo devices offer great assistance to the users. However, while there are a lot of such products available in the market, people generally get confused about the Amazon Echo products they need to buy. If you too are confused about the usage, here is a classification of the products in various groups which can be utterly helpful for you.

According to the Age Group:

These Echo products are really sophisticated; aren’t they? Yes, powered by Mediatek chipsets, these Echo products can be bought for different age groups as well.

For instance, if you are buying an echo device for your kids, you could go for Amazon Echo Dot Kids Edition. Talking particularly about the 4th Gen device, you can get Amazon Echo Dot Kids Edition shaped like a panda or a tiger. The major advantage of this Echo Dot is that it is quite durable and would not give up even if smashed on the floor by your kids.

Plus, the kids’ device is sophisticated enough to filter the explicit content and songs, etc. so that it does not reach your kids.

However, if you are buying it for adults, there are lots of options such as Amazon Echo Dot and Amazon Echo Show. The latest Amazon Echo Show devices are good enough for senior citizens as well because it contains features to help the adults during emergencies. Not just this, these Echo devices can act as security devices apart from being entertainment devices.

For the Audiophiles:

Do you love loud music and partying? Well, Amazon has taken care of your needs through a device known as Amazon Echo Studio, a device that has some amazing audio features. It supports the new Amazon Music HD service, as well as supports Dolby Atmos and 3D formats from MPEG-H, like Sony 360 Reality Audio. Not only is this a music master, but it can also handle your TV audio too, compatible with wireless connections to Fire TV devices. It can also be stereo paired.

Besides, it is capable of supporting all the features that Alexa brings, as well as offering a Zigbee controller so it can natively connect to smart home devices and control them. It’s great value for money for such a high-performing speaker.

For Alexa All-the-Way:

If you want the services of Amazon Alexa in all your rooms, but do not wish to buy an Echo Dot speaker, there is a smaller option as well. You can go for an Amazon Echo Flex which is something really small and sophisticated.

This smart speaker is a plug-and-play kind of device powered by a Mediatek chipset and has a speaker and microphone to deliver the Alexa experience, but there’s also a 3.5mm socket in case you did want to hook it up to existing speakers.

It also has a USB connection on it which can be used to charge a phone but can also accept accessories, including a motion sensor or a night light. It’s a versatile little device and easy addition to any room. Naturally, it’s not really designed for playing music due to the small speaker, but if you want voice control or Alexa features without the wires, then the Flex is an interesting choice.

These are some of the most amazing Amazon Echo devices that can really assist your home. Which one do you think is the best option for your home?
