Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was surprised how something so small could sound that good. The bass is surprisingly deep and you can feel the beat. I have a first gen echo in my living room and a dot in my bedroom. The sound from the dot ìs too tinny for my taste so when a 4th gen echo went on sale i decided to buy it. Glad I did because not only is the sound way better but the device seems faster and smarter. The setup was fast, easy and flawless. If you can buy one do it, you won't be sorry.

My 1st gen echo lasted about 4 years and was kind of hesitant about buying the new echo. I really liked the sleek design of the 1st gen as it was easy to place in a small space in my home. Upon getting the 4th gen. I was impressed that it did not taoe up a lot of space and the sound is amazing! Its easy to set up and use. I highly recommend this product!

When Wink decided to change from free to subscription based, I was forced to look for a replacement. Samsung SmartThings worked for a while, but with their "improvements" I lost control of my GE Link smart bulbs, which got me into Wink in the first place. The smart home hub works well controlling these bulbs now. It also works with the Wink Fan I had gotten, however it only controls the light, which is the most important part of home automation. I can still use the remote to control the fan. I had used Echo exclusively with wink before they went subscription only. The Echo works as well as my older Echo devices, and the sound is much better than my Echo Dots. I still need my SmartThings to control Z-Wave devices, but now I have a much better alternative for my Zigbee devices.

Love this thing. It has the best sound for the price; connects easily, looks great, functions as you would expect, and sounds much better than you would expect out of a small speaker.

I started using smart home assistants quite a few years ago just as they were becoming popular. Ive used Google and Amazon Alexa the most (making Alexa the main one now) but also have Apple's system on the Apple TV 4K, and phone. One thing I had really hoped to be able to do with these assistants is find ways for them bot be more useful to the disabled and those who may not always have another person right there who can help them. I know there are a lot of fun things that can be done too, and there are conveniences as well. However, there is also potential if used correctly to help those who have extra needs as well. I really haven't seen amazon doing much in this way for a while, and I really can't test the way I'd like to because of renting vs owning a place. With that said, I would pick Alexa to start with, just because of it's integration with things. Google seems to have pulled out somewhat, and a lot of the extras it used to do, don't seem to work anymore such as skills and add-ons, etc. Apple, is still limited in comparison as well. I mainly purchased this Echo as it was to replace one which failed. Overall I've been happy with the Alexa system. Nowadays, I mainly use Alexa for smart light and device control, kitchen timers, listening to music. Also have a guitar tuner skill installed, and a few other things. I do have an Echo Flex in the Bathroom as well for the nightlight and in case of a fall I could ask Alexa to call for help. I would recommend Any smart assistant for anyone who has special needs, or otherwise could benefit. Just because there are those who want to use AI to harm people there are also those who I feel it would benefit if used correctly and for the right reasons. One other thing I wanted to mention, the Alexa app used to set up these devices is pretty easy to use and it's available for the main platforms of mobile devices.

We have enjoyed the sound and quality of the speaker. It has been easy to use with no issues in several months of use.

This is a good size speaker, much larger than the lower end dot. Better sound as well. Easy to setup and stream music, answer questions. Question of the day is always fun. Very good price for the quality and what it does.

Blends with any decor. Great sound. Easy to use.

Really great sound compared to the other Echo Dots. Our use of this specific Echo Dot was to play low level relaxation/meditation music in our Massage chair room. It works wonderfully for that purpose prose but we’ve also tied it into our whole house “Everywhere” group so that it can play whatever we are listen while cleaning or having guests. Really decent treble and a substantial amount of base for a little speaker. Definitely worth the extra money to get the sound that you get from this. Paired with another speaker like itself and an Echo sub it might just be your go to speakers for your entertainment area.

Not ony does the Echo 4th Gen with premium sound have excellent audio quality, it also has a very stylish design. When I first took it out of the package and held it in my hands, I was impressed by its weight. I knew its heft was signalling the amount of magnets it had driving the various speakers. When I powered it up I enjoyed not only the crisp highnotes, but also the rich full sounding bass notes. We have two rooms that kind of sprawl together over the first floor of our house. I've now connected this speaker with two other Echo speakers into one group. Taken together the three speakers fill our first floor with rich sound. The other speakers, an Echo Plus and an Echo Show also have good audio quality, but I give the edge to the Echo 4th Gen with premium sound as the best of the lot.

I loved it, it doesn't take up much space and the sound is very good. I loved it!

Amazon Echo (4th Gen) is a must buy for your household. It keeps everything together. The size is perfect and the sound quality is great,

I bought two of these on sale for almost fifty percent off and am more than pleased with the Stereo sound (after pairing them in the Alexa app). My only gripe is software related (which may be fixed in an update) in which switching from music to news and then back to music - the two channel Stereo mode ends and I have to restart to get back into Stereo mode. Two speakers in Stereo have more bass than I had expected and I’m glad I didnt spend more money on a subwoofer

When I first set up this device, I was having microphone communication issues with my Echo (4th Gen). I had to yell at it to get it to hear me, especially if I was playing music loud through it. I saw this same issue mentioned in some other online reviews of this device. I was planning on repackaging it and returning it in exchange for an Echo Dot (3rd Gen). I already have a Dot for the bedroom and it works like a champ. After a little research online, I took the advise of a website that problem solves Echo issues, and unplugged the power for a bit so it could reset itself. After replugging it in and allowing it to reboot, the microphones work perfectly and are actually more sensitive than the Dot. After some experimenting with the EQ, I found the Echo (4th Gen) with premium sound sounds best (to my ears) with Bass @ 6, Mids @ 1, and Treble @ 5. The Echo (4th Gen) with premium sound does have superior sound compared to all the other models, except the Echo Studio, and is vastly better sounding than my Echo Dot. I sometimes run the Echo into my home entertainment center via Bluetooth for even better sound. The moral to this story is: If you run into microphone sensitivity issues and have to yell for the device to hear you, try the solution I used before returning it back to where you got it. Once it's working like it should, you'll be glad you kept it.

Works as it's instructed, Alexa is a great listener and is easy to manage. Nicely crafted with a cool design and sturdy good quality materials. Easy to set up and good bang for your buck.

Easy to set-up and quality is excellent. Extremely easy to use and the sound works perfect for where we have it.

I bought this 4th gen echo with built in hub for myself for my room previously buying the 3rd gen for granddaughters room and dot for kitchen. I love the round look of this new one and looks great with my decor. some reviews said huge but I don’t think so and have no problems when speaking to, saying because I saw in other reviews that alexa wouldn’t respond and had to keep repeating. I can whisper and responds every time. Comparing the two tho I don’t see alot of difference in sound, maybe a little more bass but both are very good, crisp clear sound. Very satisfied and recommend. Now have one in almost every room and can connect to hear music all over house or talk to someone in another room if I don’t want to yell. Nice.

A friend insisted that I buy this saying that I would love it. I do indeed love it and have recommended it to friends. I actually bought a small version to keep buy my bedside. I ask it to play Vaugh Williams "The Lark Ascending" which puts me to sleep each night. I love the “repeat” feature,it keeps playing “The Lark Ascending through the night. If this broke down I would immediatedly buy a replacement, I do not want to live without a smart speaker.

The Amazon Echo is a fantastic smart device that has quickly become an essential part of my daily routine! The sound quality is excellent for its size, whether you're playing music, podcasts, or audiobooks. Alexa is incredibly responsive and makes controlling smart home devices a breeze.

The 4th Gen Alexa has great sound quality, and looks good in my living area. I purchased it to replace an older model, and am not disappointed!
