Unsolicited Product Review: Amazon Echo Loop Unboxing

Alright. This is gonna be the Amazon Echo Loop unboxing. This is uh j literally just arrived. Let's see what we got in the uh little tiny box here. Got a nice thunderstorm going outside.

Perfect for losing internet connection in the middle of stuff. So far, unremarkable black box. What's included? Echo loop. Charging cradle, USB charging.

Cool. Alright. So we have the very very small ring. Which is uh titanium very shiny on the inside. Let's see what else we got in the box here.

We've got cable, which is micro USB, which is always nice. And we have the charging stand and tiny little instructions. Let's get uh let's get some power going on this sooner rather than later. Interesting that it's not a universal um fit. See the the power connectors oh it's magnetic.

So you snap it on and then presumably there's not an obvious way to tell whether it's charged or not. Alright. Let's see what we got for instructions here. Warranty, other stuff. There is a light that will show up.

Check your battery level by asking Alexa what's my battery level. Alexa, what's my battery level? Thanks. Okay, on the phone, we go to enable Bluetooth, get down the Alexa app, yep, got all that stuff. And we take this off and we tap the button once to activate it.

Okay. It's finally responding. How to use this? Do you talk to Alexa? Click the button once, feel the vibration, ask your question.

To talk to Siri. Press and hold for one second, feel the vibration. That's handy. And power off. Click once, then press and hold for three seconds, long vibration, turns it on.

Okay. Do I want to teach Alexa my voice? No. Not today. And now for a short entertaining video.

Let's go ahead and turn this up. Welcome to your new Echo Loop. Let's get you and Alexa ready to take on the day. Here are three things to try first. Number one, click your action button.

Unlike your Echo device at home, you don't say Alexa to get her attention. Just click once. You'll feel a vibration, and Alexa is ready to help. Add pick up dry cleaning to my to-do list. Pick up dry cleaning added to your to-do list.

Number two, take Alexa with you on the go. Because your Echo Loop works by connecting to the Alexa app on your smartphone. You can leave your phone in your pocket and ask for what you need without ever slowing down. Where's the nearest Whole Foods? Number three.

Call your top contact with a double click. Hey you. Hi. I'm around the corner. Perfect.

See you in a bit. Enjoy staying on top of your day with Alexa close at hand. Okay. Setup is complete. Alright.

Remove from the thing. Let's give this a try. Put it on here. And push the button. Add Go Shopping to my to-do list.

I added go shopping to your to-do list. Wow, that is a really, really small speaker. Let's try that again. Add find crayons to my to-do list. So it's nice, it's heavy.

Uh I guess it's a brushed metallic exterior. It really is not a uh not very shiny. But it's not bad. The button is on one side. So you may or may not be able to see this on the bottom.

There's the action button, and then there's the tiny tiny speaker. Uh no one's gonna mistake that for you. You're not gonna hear that out loud. I can barely hear it. Let's give this a try.

Play Toto's Africa. Yeah, that's not uh not the thing. Anyway, um useful, I suppose, for not taking your phone out. Um but I think I'm gonna get the most use out of it for things like the controls around here. Turn on the greenhouse.

Turn off the greenhouse. Yep. So all the smart home stuff, that's actually handy because instead of having to run around and yell at the individual devices, I can literally yell at into my own hand. Anyway, uh it's fun. It's uh questionable utility, but it's neat, it's something to talk about.

Uh hope you enjoyed watching, and uh talk to you soon. Take care. Want help solving your company's data analytics and digital marketing problems? Visit TrustInsights.ai today and let us know how we can help you.
