THIS. I would never have one in my house. If you just want a good sounding (IMO) stand alone music player, check out SONOS. I personally don't see the appeal of Alexa, privacy concerns notwithstanding. Maybe I'm just getting old and cranky, but how hard is it to go directly to amazon to order something? One click and you are done. I'm personally trying to REMOVE technology from my every day life more these days, I don't want to be that ultra efficient in everything I do. OK, maybe I am getting old and cranky, LOL..something about this product just bothers me, I don't know what it is..
