Perfect! I needed a small speaker for a nightstand. It needed to connect to the TV so a senior woman could hear the tv without needing to always wear hearing aids. It has a great sound, connects easily and syncs speech quickly.

It's seriously stylish and incredibly effective! I mean, just look at it – it's like a little piece of modern art for my home! And the best part? It's not just a pretty face – the performance is top-notch too. The sound quality is amazing, and Alexa is like my personal assistant, always ready to help with anything I need. Whether I'm playing music, setting reminders, or controlling my smart home devices, the Echo Dot handles it all with ease. Honestly, it's the perfect combination of style and functionality – I'm totally obsessed!

Starting out with a few caveats: 1) no smart speaker / voice assistant is perfect, 2) many people have their preferred ecosystem, and 3) when that ecosystem fails, the grass is greener on the other side. With that being said, in my own opinion, Alexa currently beats Google hands down when controlling smart devices (though Google reigns for integrating its services like search, calendar, photos, etc). I had grown less and less pleased with my Google Hubs over the years, and long story short, I was eventually gifted an Echo Show. I was so impressed with its ability to handle my various smart devices when Google was failing to do so correctly, that I eventually decided to purchase more Echo devices, including this Echo Dot. This device does not disappoint. First off, the sound quality. Though this is a small device, it packs a punch. Bass is decent and song audio via Spotify is clear. Audiophiles may gripe about sound quality that isn't 100% perfect from a small smart speaker, but for the average user, streaming sound quality from this device is good enough, if not great. It's easy enough to pair into whole-house audio with other Echo speakers, but on its own it still gets the job done decently. The only drawback is the 5th gen Echo Dot lacks an aux port that the 4th gen had, but hey, if we're comparing this to a Google Nest Mini, Google doesn't use aux ports at all. Voice recognition when speaking to Alexa is decent - again, no smart assistant is perfect, and errors in communication do happen, but they appear to be relatively few on this device all things considered. My biggest complaint would be the "By the way, would you like me to blah blah blah..." additions Alexa occasionally tacks onto responses, with no real way to disable them in the app. When listening to voice commands and responding, the Dot will glow blue at the base. When your Amazon account and device settings are set up correctly, this light turns yellow to let you know you have a package delivery notification. Despite not subscribing to Prime and ordering infrequently from Amazon, I still find this quite useful. Overall I think this is a decent device, and outpaces Google in many aspects. It goes on sale pretty often so I wouldn't recommend paying full price for this unless you absolutely need to, but you wouldn't have buyers remorse if you did.
