THE SMALLER ECHO THAT IS TRULY A HEAVY-WEIGHT IN PERFORMANCE!!!!
For more than nine years running, I have had Amazon Echo devices on every level of my home. An Amazon Echo lived in the kitchen, the family room, the office, and four bedrooms. All were Generation 1 devices, you know....the tall tower-like devices that if they fell would severely damage your foot!!!😫 Then one day, all of my Generation 1 devices went off-line and ceased to function!!😮 I contacted Amazon for help, and was told the Generation 1 devices were no longer supported by Amazon and could not receive any updates. I can't comprehend how 7 separate devices just stopped working all at the same time. My entire family has come to depend on Alexa to play music, news, weather, podcasts, and many other apps we added to the mix. I ordered a new 5th-generation Echo Dot, and it was delivered overnight. Set-up was easy-peasy using my Alexa app on my phone. It was connected to my internet, and the settings were selected in just a few minutes. The sound from my old Echo was dynamic, but this new Echo Dot produces great-sounding music with the right blend of bass, mid-range tones, and highs brilliantly!!😃 This Echo Dot is small in its dimensions but VERY BIG IN PERFORMANCE!!!😄 The bass is deeper and more pronounced, and the mid-range vocals are more defined and clear!! This new Echo has exceeded my expectations regarding punching out some music!!! This first purchase of the Amazon Echo Dot was my test device, which, if great, would be purchased in greater quantity and set up in each room missing an Echo device.I believe I'll be ordering more of these to satisfy the family!!! The design is very pleasant to look at, and the rounded shape looks more at home than my previous 1st generation units!! I set the Echo so that if I was talking to the unit and stopped, I didn't have to say "Alexa" to wake the device. This unit waits for my next words seamlessly making commands flow much more smoothly!! You can also set whether the Echo, when woken, makes a sound or remains quiet. I like the awake notification especially if I'm not looking directly at the device. This Echo also has a temperature sensor which could make it more repsonsive if it were running a home thermostat!! I like the "+" and "-" bottons on the top of the device to control volume as opposed to turning the top of my old Echos to increase or decrease the volume. You can also, like the older models, use your voice to tell Alexa which level of volume you prefer. Whether you're playing music, listening to news, or getting a weather report, this device can be muted just by touching the top of the Echo!!! NICE FEATURE!!!!😃 It will remain muted until you touch the top again which will pick up where you stopped the unit!!! CONVENIENT!!!!😉 I have also found that this newer generation Echo is much more responsive to voice commands and follows through with exactly you asked for in a flash!!! I discovered that if I didn't know how to install an app or function, or wasn't aware of what's available to run on the unit, Alexa is on the job either describing apps or functions she can perform, or she can tell me how to set up an app or functions in easy to follow clear directions!!!!😉 I haven't in the past set up lights or the house thermostat, but since this Echo seems better suited to the tasks than my previous generation devive, I think I'll venture into the world of Alexa controlled convenience items!!! 🚩I rate this new 5th Generation Echo Dot a super-solid 10 out of 10, because of the units ease of set-up, the quick and crisp responses from Alexa, the improved sound whether playing music or even just news, the addition of volume controls on the topo of this device, and the affordable price of this amazingly handy device!!!! I highly recommend this new 5th Generation Echo Dot to anyone who has gone through the same situation as I with my older devices shutting down, or to new first time buyers that have yet to experience the convenience and helpfulness of owning an Amazon Echo device!!! I can guarantee you that you won't be disappointed in the least with the function and performance of this newest generation Echo device!!!!😊

We love our new Amazon Echo Dot
We love Alexa and our new Echo Dot. The overall quality is excellent and the sound quality is full, clear, crisp and fills the whole room . Ready to use right out of the box, plug it in and she's goes right to work . Very little set up needed! The design is modern and fits into any setting or room, very durable, and NOT cheaply made. She has excellent response and is easy the understand. Thanks to Echo Dot and Alexa we now have a smart home.. If there is anything that we don't know how to do as for setting up new smart devices she's does and she guides us through it with ease! We love our new Amazon Dot and Alexa! Easy to use, looks great and sounds great too. Works very well with our home components (ie Bose speakers, desk top etc.) Volume is easy to control by voice and also has a manual control on the speaker . So, Over all the sound is bright and the functionality is excellent. Five stars for Amazon Echo Dot!

Compact Companion with Room for Improvement – Amazon Echo Dot
The Amazon Echo Dot is a handy little device that has quickly become a fixture in my home. Its compact size is perfect for any room, and it blends seamlessly with the decor. The sound quality is quite impressive for such a small speaker, delivering clear and robust audio that enhances music and voice interactions alike.Alexa’s responsiveness is another strong point; whether setting timers, checking the weather, or controlling smart home devices, the Echo Dot handles commands effortlessly. The integration with various apps and services is smooth, providing a wide range of uses from a single device.However, there are some areas where the Echo Dot could improve. Occasionally, Alexa struggles to understand commands if there’s background noise, which can be frustrating. Also, the device sometimes promotes Amazon’s products and services a bit too aggressively, which feels intrusive at times.Overall, the Echo Dot is a solid choice for anyone looking to enter the world of smart speakers. It offers a lot of functionality in a small package, and while it has a few quirks, it’s an excellent value for the price. Perfect for tech enthusiasts and casual users alike.

Amazing device – super useful and easy to use!
I’m really happy with my Alexa. It arrived on time and in perfect condition. The quality is excellent and it works just as I expected. I appreciate the design and how easy it is to use. Definitely a great value for the price.One of the things I love most is how convenient it makes my daily routine. I can listen to music just by asking, without needing to touch anything. I can control the lights in my home with just my voice, which is incredibly useful, especially at night. I also use it to make announcements or calls between rooms with other Alexa devices, which is very helpful when I need to talk to someone in another part of the house.Overall, it’s a great product that makes life easier and more fun. Highly recommended!
