  • My Best Music Player Purchase.
Color: Charcoal Configuration: Device only
Beautiful! Well built. Great sound. Easy to set up and easy to use. No fumbling around looking for disc's to listen to my music. Well worth the money. Very compatible with other devices. I upgraded from the echo dot, flat puck style and I'm so happy I did. Music sounds great.

  • Small but Powerful and Super Convenient
Color: Deep Sea Blue Configuration: Device only
I’m really impressed with this Echo Dot. The sound quality is surprisingly good for such a small device, and it’s perfect for music, alarms, and quick questions. It responds fast and makes everyday tasks easier. Setup was simple, and it fits nicely anywhere in the house. I use it every day.

  • Another great smart home purchase, to say the least.
Color: Deep Sea Blue Configuration: Device only
My previous Echo Dot, purchased back in 2018, was a third-generation. It was a white shuffleboard stone covered in cloth and it is amazing. I'll never say it's not; in fact it's so amazing that I passed it on to my mom and she enjoys it a great deal. So, my main motivation for purchasing this, the fifth generation issued in 2022 – aside from familiarity with the brand – was I needed a Matter hub so my then-incoming Nanoleaf smart lightbulbs could work with my voice. But of course it is so much more. First thing I see is that the Echo Dot is no longer a white shuffleboard stone but is a smaller, navy blue sphere. Aside from being my favorite color, and thus very pleasing to look at, I find it that it is not practical any longer to mount on my wall because of its increased focus on the forward firing speaker; if I had mounted it, it would not be effective in spreading out to my entire room – the top of the speaker is reserved for the buttons which were present on the third-generation: volume up, volume down, action/wake and mute microphone, which leave no room for a speaker in that area. So it sits pretty on my side table facing the rest of my room, and does fine. First thing I hear is the sound quality is so much better than the third-generation Dot. The third-generation was okay in that regard, but it tended to sound a little overexposed when the volume was up high. Now, I don't find myself connecting via Bluetooth to my sound bar nearly as much because the speaker quality is just that good. The quiet parts of music are quiet and calming the way they should be, but the bass thumps quite effectively, surprisingly for such a small and lightweight speaker. So after I'd established the smart speaker in my room for about a month, I felt the time was right to go ahead and get my Nanoleaf Essentials bulbs, to upgrade the ones that I had no longer been able to use for a year since they had stopped working with any voices assistants, to facilitate compatibility with the then upcoming network standard: Matter. I am very happy to say that Matter compatibility is there and it is wonderful. I can't speak for the internal workings because I'm not an engineer; I will say – though I may be wrong about this – that I believe it would be more rocky if I did not have a Thread Border Router already in the form of my Nanoleaf shapes controller; I have the shapes arrangement atop my desk called Dragon, and it has worked wonderfully for me since around last September, and only – at this point anyway – required regular firmware updates to be compatible with ongoing technology. Now, I'll tell you the procedure for adding the Nanoleaf Essentials bulbs to Alexa via Matter – I would assume by extension any Matter device, providing you have a thread border router like I mentioned before. After adding the bulbs to the iOS Nanoleaf app as normal – also updating the firmware for each bulb via said app! I have a feeling that was very important – add them also to Alexa via the Add Device flow, one at a time. There was a menu item that showed itself at the top telling me that it had detected each new bulb on my network and I only had to select that item to add it, scan the QR code on the sticker that came with the bulbs (I applied the sticker to a sheet of paper and labeled it according to the positions of the bulbs) and wait just a bit for it to be connected and it just works! Another new feature which the third-generation did not have is a temperature sensor! After a short period of calibration after plugging the device in, Alexa will be able to tell you the temperature of the room that it is situated in! I ask her for this often when I'm trying to determine how best to cool my room during these hot summer months. When my door's closed during the day, my room can get up to mid 80s, which is horrible, but with the door open to allow a draft and breeze, the temperature's equalized with the rest of the house and I get mid to upper 70s which is much better. There is an ultrasound presence sensor, which sounds not unlike sonar, which I have not had a use for yet, but I imagine routines can be enabled or suppressed with its use. One borderline negative thing I will say about it which I'm okay with because, again, I have Bluetooth connections – they eliminated the 3.5 mm jack to save internal space inside the device, so you will no longer be able to directly connect external speakers, as I did at one point before I had to change that arrangement. Once again, Amazon comes through with flying colors with their products, helping make our homes smarter and more amazing and just better to live in! Get this speaker if you are looking to build a smart home, and for best results, get more than one so you can use the awesome "drop-in" intercom system, and truly awaken the potential of the smart home! ... show more

  • Sounds Great — But I Miss the Audio Jack
Color: Charcoal Configuration: Device only
I’ve owned several Echo Dots over the years, and the newest model definitely sounds better than the older ones. The audio is fuller, clearer, and surprisingly punchy for such a small speaker. For casual music, podcasts, and general Alexa use, it does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Setup is simple, Alexa responsiveness is solid, and it integrates easily into a smart home setup. As a compact speaker for a bedroom, office, or kitchen, it’s a nice upgrade in sound quality compared to earlier generations. That said — I really hate that Amazon removed the 3.5mm audio jack on the latest models. That was a genuinely useful feature. Being able to hardwire it into better speakers or an amp gave you flexibility. Now you’re locked into Bluetooth or the internal speaker, which feels like a step backward for people who actually use their equipment beyond basic voice commands. If you just want a standalone smart speaker with better sound than older Dots, it’s a solid choice. But if you relied on the audio-out jack like I did, be aware it’s gone — and that’s disappointing. ... show more

  • Small Speaker, Big Upgrade with Alexa+
Color: Charcoal Configuration: Device only
We love the Amazon Echo Dot (newest model). Sound quality is surprisingly good for the size, and it’s perfect for a bedroom setup. Alexa+ feels like a noticeable upgrade... faster, more helpful, and easier to use day-to-day. Overall, a great little device that just works.

  • I love that Amazon to pre-configures the device for you before it even arrives at the door
Color: Charcoal Configuration: Device only
I deliberately stayed with this Echo Dot model for a reason. I’ve had the Show, and while it’s nice to see pictures or who is at the door, I noticed it simply didn't last as long as my original Echo that I’ve had for years and still functions today. I ended up replacing my Show with this one because I prioritize the long-term functionality. I like the size and the charcoal color, but the real upgrades are in the sound—it's much clearer than my original one. The simplicity of the setup is where Amazon really gets it right. I love that they allow you to pre-configure the device before it even arrives at your door; it was basically a plug-and-play situation. As soon as I hooked it to my Wi-Fi, it already knew my name. It’s a simple, reliable upgrade that actually works for the long haul ... show more
