Bought one on Prime Day for $80, I like it so far. It has a daily news brief with a decent list of sites, which is nice for a few minutes in the morning.... you can setup updates for your teams, similar to Google Now. it controls Dish, so it'll pause/resume/skip live TV and Netflix. And of course music, including Spotify.
It has timers and reminders, which I'm sure I'll use, and some other smart home stuff that I might use.
There's a beer snob skill that will tell you the beeradvocate rating of a beer.
