I’ve had an Alexa Echo for about a year now and the Home Mini is smarter, allowing multiple commands and more precise control. The only downside is you can’t connect a Bluetooth speaker. The only way to connect an external speaker is if it has a Chromecast.

I have Spectrum/Time Warner and this is supposed to work with it so I expected to just plug it in and go. Sadly, that was not the case. After 2 phone calls to Time Warner troubleshooting, it worked. The first tech person pretty much said everything was working on her end and the modem was working on my end but it was not. The second call yielded someone that saw the problem straight away. He said the previous tech person missed a step and with that success. 35 minutes on the phone was not ideal. Tech support from Arris was not available at the time.
