I have an Echo. Showed it to my kids. They said, "It's like Siri but she can understand us!"

Of course, they were upset that she wouldn't respond to the funny sort of queries you could make of Siri. And my son really wishes her ability to do conversions extended to questions like "how many miles are in a light second" (Siri uses Wolfram Alpha to great effect here. Alexa - Amazon Echo - just apologizes and says she's added a bing search to the echo app.)
