Power cord is the wrong color
4 Stars
Power cord is the wrong color
This is my second echo purchase because I wanted one for my night table in the bedroom. The device itself is fine. But I ordered the charcoal color Echo, and the power cord is white. Not a good look, the power cord should have been black to match.
