And you can do all this from across the room, even if music is playing. New features are constantly added like local search information so you can ask for things like the hours of the closest pharmacy.

Priced at $179.99 for the Echo and $29.99 for echo voice remote.

Available for purchase on www.amazon.com and select offline retailers including Staples, Home Depot and more.
