The New Amazon Echo Plus Review - 2nd Generation Echo Plus

The New Amazon Echo Plus Review - 2nd Generation Echo Plus

It's time to review the new Amazon Echo Plus 2nd generation device. The Echo Plus 2018 version is out and ready for you to go and buy, so let's make sure it's worth your money.

Our Echo Plus 2nd gen #review is all about the upgrades and changes from the Echo Plus 1st gen, as well as the differences from its main competitor, the Google Home. Overall, the Echo Plus 2 is a great device, but what sets it apart from the 1st generation?

Not only that, but the new Alexa app that's used with the new Echo Plus is excellent after its recent upgrade. This new application and the brand new setup process makes this the easiest to use Alexa-enabled device yet.

In terms of that new Alexa, well, there's really not a new Alexa to speak of. The same Alexa works in the Echo Plus 1st generation, and it's really the same voice assistant we have known all along.

The look and feel of the new Echo Plus is, simply put, the best-looking device in the class. It has a new cloth finish, with a matte top, and the control buttons look great (and align with the Echo Dot 3rd generation we just reviewed). All in all, the new #Amazon #EchoPlus 2nd generation looks to be the best device in its class.

Great review! This evening my wife was telling me what a nice upgrade this speaker (echo plus 2) is! It sounds great! I really do love it. You mentioned that it can have some trouble picking up commands in a noisy environment, I have 2 small children so I can attest to that. A simple solution your viewers may or may not be aware of is the remote that came with the very first echo. You can purchase it on Amazon for $30, and it is totally worth it. I simply paired mine with the new echo plus 2. It is a simple voice remote with the click wheel to skip, play, pause, volume. I'm interested in the Amazon sub woofer, can't wait to hear your thoughts!

Can I use the sengled app to control the lights ??? or do I have to use the alexa app only

Nice one I’m loving mine great sound and a good price in the uk. Keep up the good work. There is one thing that I’m very interested in how echo is going to integrate with the new 4K fire tv stick. Look forward to your demo.

Any idea how this stacks up against Sonos One? I would assume not as good.

Will I get better sound from echo plus 2nd than echo 3rd gen?

I bought the new plus, I love the sound, but for the life of me I can't get the IKEA devices to work! I tried to enabled the IKEA skill, but it asks me to pair with the IKEA app, the ikea app wants me to connect to a gateway that I don't have. Have you any advice please.
