Just recently started looking into buying one of these. Anyone have any experience or knowledge of what they can/cannot do?

My sister has one and I am not impressed at all. Over Christmas I stayed at her house for a week watching her dogs and I tried to get into it but I couldn't. Its just a shittier version of Siri with a crappy speaker.

Music, alarm, searching shite on Internet, games, light control, tv control, AC control, etc.

It doesn't do as much as one would think from the commercials. It's fun to play with at first but I forgot I had it after a few weeks.

You have to add the skills to it via the app. It doesn't come preloaded with everyones crap they'll need. It takes 2 seconds to enable a skill.
For the OP, the bluetooth speak alone almost makes it worth it. I use it for music and random questions. The shopping list is legit as well. I use it most for home automation though. i.e. turning on/off lights, locks, thermostat, and controlling my home entertainment system.

We have one. Use it to play music when people are over, I have it give me the forecast most mornings when I walk thru the living room. Use it to control some lights and a fan in the house.
Nothing absolutely necessary, but we use it every day.
