Sound quality not great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The words are not clear like it's coming from inside a tube. Not good for listening to audible or spoken content.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendAlexa not nearly as responsive as our echo dots
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have several echo dots for a couple years and like them. I got this new echo for the smart hub to control some light bulbs we had and to be honest we don't like it as it's not nearly as responsive as the dots are. Not sure if it's a defective unit as we haven't tried exchanging it, but Alexa is not nearly as responsive. We ask Alexa to do something and a lot of the time it takes us multiple requests to get it to understand us and do what we want. We have literally been less then 10 feet away as it's talking trying to tell it to stop and it ignores us completely while we are yelling at it. One time I just went over and unplugged it.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend buggy
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.she’s fine but she doesn’t listen to me sometimes. i’ll say “alexa turn my light on” and she’ll say “ok!” but then doesn’t turn my light on. i have to enunciate “offfff” and “onnn” for her to understand me. she also doesn’t know when im saying her name sometimes. plenty of other bugs. overall too buggy for me to recommend.

Posted .Hi denise. Thank you for your feedback on the Amazon Echo 4th gen. To fix issues with your Echo device not responding:
Make sure you're using the power adapter that was included with your device.
Make sure you have an active internet connection.
Check that your device isn't muted. The light indicator is red when your device is muted.
For devices without a screen: press the Action button to see if your Echo device responds.
To make sure that Alexa hears you, move your device away from walls, other speakers, or background noise.
Speak naturally and clearly.
Rephrase your question or make it more specific. For example, there are many cities around the world called "Paris." If you want to know the weather in Paris, France, say, "What's the weather like in Paris, France?"
Try saying, "Did you hear me?"
Unplug your device and then plug it back in.
You can also ask Alexa to Read Back Your Most Recent Request by asking "Alexa, what’s the last thing you heard?" or Ask Alexa to Tell You Why She Just Did Something by asking "Aelxa, "What just happened?". This will help identify if the action requested matches the action or responses. If these steps do not help, and you are still having functionality issues you can call Amazon customer service, available 24/7 for assistance on the device. You can reach them at 1-888-280-4331. I hope this information is helpful, thank you!
Fair product
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Didn’t use it much but it works just fine. I think the price is way over it’s value.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot all that
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A bit disappointing! Sound is descent but not all that. The show 8 sounds just as good and offers a nice display which makes it a much better investment. Would not recommend.
