PERSONALIZE YOUR ALEXA EXPERIENCE.
At the brain of Alexa are her skills… over 100,000 of them! It’s what allows her to play games, check the weather, or listen to Spotify. You can choose which skills you want Alexa to enable and personalize your experience.
Right now there are 20 different categories and the number of skills in each is growing daily.

MY TOP RECOMMENDATIONS.
In the spirit of full transparency, I do receive a small commission if you purchase these products through these links (there is no extra cost to you whatsoever). However, I only promote those products or services that I have investigated and truly feel deliver value to you.
These are my top 3 recommended Amazon Alexa devices that are currently on the market. Click on the pics to discover more about them.
1. AMAZON ECHO DOT (3rd GENERATION).
The Amazon Echo Dot is the smallest Echo device that houses Alexa. It’s only 1.3″ x 3.3″ x 3.3″ (32 mm x 84 mm x 84 mm), about the size of a hockey puck! It’s the perfect starter device to introduce Alexa to your family!
2. AMAZON ECHO (2nd GENERATION).
The Amazon Echo is the “standard” Alexa device. This one has better speakers than the Echo Dot (i.e. Dolby sound), providing better sound quality when Alexa is “serenading” you! Other than that, functions are the same. It’s also a little bigger than the Dot, at 5.9” x 3.5” x 3.5” (148 mm x 88 mm x 88 mm), or about 6 hockey pucks stacked on one another.
3. AMAZON ECHO SHOW 5.
The Amazon Echo Show 5 is the smallest Echo device with a screen, but it packs a whole lot of value in it’s small body. This is the least expensive way to experience multi-modal skills (i.e. audio and video), everything from checking weather and calendars, to viewing security and nursery cameras. The Show 5 is 148 mm x 86 mm x 73 mm.
