Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Are you kidding me? I watched the Youtube videos on this product. I read the reviews. Comparatively speaking, the reviews tended to lead me away from purchasing the Amazon Tap. When I came across the "Certified Refurbished Amazon Tap", I said, "Why not". I wasn't sure how tall the Amazon Tap was going to be. The indication was that it was the height of a pencil. Somehow, that didn't register. When Amazon delivered the Tap two days later, I was surprised that the box was so small. I thought to myself, "What have I done"? I opened it and was just amazed at how well built the unit was. I held it in my hands and could feel the quality. Performance, though, would be another issue. I had watched Youtube videos that marked the audio quality down, so I was a little concerned. The first time I pressed the microphone button, Alexa's voice sounded like it was coming from an audio booth in a production facility. Of course, this must indicate to the reader of this review that I'm no audiophile. The sound and the power of this product overwhelmingly exceeded my expectations. I live in a 3400 sq. ft. two story home. To check how well the Tap picked up the Wifi signal, which is located at the opposite end of the house, I moved the TAP to the master bedroom at the opposite side of the house. I asked Alexa to play NPR. Click and Clack was playing. I turned the volume all the way up and went downstairs to see if I could hear the "Car Show". OMG. The Amazon Tap is a great product. It is worthy of your money. The best part of the Tap for me is that I can take it all around the house, even outside, and play music through it. The music sounds good. I'm happy. You'll be happy with the feel of the Tap, the portability of the Tap, the battery life, the audio quality and the variety of things Alexa can do for you now.
