Alexa is a great digital assistant, but it isn’t perfect. Here are a few ways it can get on my nerves and what to do about them, on any Alexa-enabled device (Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, etc).

Where my google home gang at?

👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
🤣🤣🤣
0:22 Thank you!
For all the people who have someone named ALEXA in the household. Thank you! [according to the 2010 Census there were 9,109 females with that first name]
Put it in a box and re-gifted
4:50 21 — the meme from 2015
They are useless, absolute trash… I use it in Italian and it can’t even do a simple search… Yeah, it’s dumber than a 1 minute old germ…
No point in investing in this rubbish that only makes life more stressful.
I listen to more music; that’s the only benefit I’ve found, but it can’t even reproduce the songs I need to from Spotify. It’s meh not getting to choose songs, only “alexa, next song”, if you’re bored and want a nice song you don’t really remember the title of; or from a specific mood…
No 1.dont buy it
Did you know that Alexa has an unplug feature to where you can throw it into the trash?
If it was a man’s voice, it probably wouldn’t talk as much.
Yes that’s a joke.
1:25 Why have a smartspeaker in the bedroom at all, if you really have to have one in your house anyway?
Alexa and Hey Google is perfect for people who love to talk and be listened to.… always 😄
Question: why to do when Alexa annoys you.
Answer: Sell her
If you have the Samuel L Jackson enabled on your echo you should ask him to play rock paper scissors a little funny. Yes a little not clean but that’s kind of to be expected from him.
No voices for Us in Canada yet 🙁 I want Sam on my Speakers Dam you usa
I have five of each (Alexa & Google mini) of those damn annoying things. If I only had a nickle for each time they say they can’t find the wifi network even though the router is less than 6 feet from them. argh
When Amazon and Google stop supporting them, I won’t upgrade. I regret I bought them. I’ll get Z‑wave enabled devices next time instead.
Pro-Tip: DDon´t buy one … don´t have Problems!
All that antics just to prove a point? Really?
The confirmation noise every time he said ‘Alexa’ was very annoying, please just mute out the confirmation noise and wake word as well next time.
Can they have a second gen amazon Alexa but name it Amazon Alex
You need a better mic. I’m shocked that a reviewer from CNET would not have the best tech equipment to make their videos. It’s like a Porsche being equipped with a 4 cylinder. Just doesn’t make sense.
Hi my iPad keeps saying that it needs to be charged but it is fully charged and won’t turn on. It just show the need to be charged screen
Baby Groot also can give you those answers using the free app.
Follow up command has never worked for me! I’d ask my Alexa do say turn on the light, then once I’d done that I ask her another command, she would think about it, then do nothing… eventually I just switched it off. What they need to do is add string commands, allowing you to ask multiple commands at the the same time without having to stop or saying Alexa between each.
Come on. I got excited about changing Alexa’s name. Then sadly disappointed when it’s a tiny list they approve 😡
It’s the worst when it doesn’t understand something or you need to subscribe to something and the Echo just starts rambling.
Surprisingly this guy was actually really funny and entertaining. A great change of pace for a CNET host
Its not working shes still very annoying

I already have my own alexa
If you want to cure your illness, you will find good CBD products on the Weedborn website.
My Alex talks to someone else when I am not in the room. What the heck is going on? I don’t think my house is haunted.
What is the alexa app called? Is it just amazon alexa?
I know this is 2 years old and not sure if it was a part of an update but if you want to give Alexa more than one command for example you want living room light on and some music playing if you say Alexa turn on living room light AND play music by (who ever your chose is) Alexa will turn the light on say ok and then shuffling music by (the chosen artist)
