You need broadband and a mobile (to set up using alexa app). Once set up it is great. I use the echo dot - more flexible as you can use its own speaker or connect to your own speaker using Bluetooth or a standard connecting cable ( not supplied) . The larger echo doesn't have this facility and the Speaker is only marginally better than the one built into the dot. I would soon run out of space if I told you all it can do - all by voice command - play music, radio, news, weather even jokes and lots more. Eg 'alexa play Christmas carols' and off it goes until I say 'alexa stop playing'. 'Alexa what's new' gives me the news and weather.
Regards

@tgr - No. Once it is configured you don't need to run the Alexa App and you can close it.

Presume you used add new device to set up your echo then, once set up you can use
the app to check that your echo is online - if not check the wifi settings.
Otherwise you only need to use the app to adjust settings or add new skills.
