I have really given up on the echo for answering most questions. Google is better in my opinion. And my Google mini only cost me 20 bucks. I wouldn’t listen to Sirius music on it. But for questions, and other voice only listening, it’s fine. Most people in the tech press got it all wrong when it came to HomePod. They said it was just another smart speaker and it fell short with regard to Alexa and Google.. But that was never apples point. They all have their uses.
