To recap
While it’s certainly a nice upgrade for fans of Alexa voice control, the Voice satellite does come with a hefty price tag . There’s no denying having whole home Wi-Fi coverage is great, though, as is the quality of the sound from the built-in Harman Kardon speakers. Think of it as an ‘Echo Plus Plus’ and that might convince you to buy.
