I've never purchased anything using my Echo, but find it invaluable as a home assistant for all the things it does besides shopping. Shopping via text interface, if we're still at the stage of "personalized to your tastes" being a laughable claim, is a terrible experience.

Q- why does this Alfie device exist at all? It appears to just be a button + microphone that starts a chat session on your phone. There's no point in making that exclusive to the device. If you can't already, I'd be amazed if in a year you can't do this through the Kenmore app/website.
