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.

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!

Exceptional sound coming from such a small speaker. Amazed it connected to our ring doorbell. Now we can have it announce that someone is at the door. Very easy to pair to all our devices. IOS, Windows, Intel, etc.
The only thing you need to be aware of is you have to download load an app to set it up. Use the Amazon Echo app. The other apps are not free, even if they say they are. We learned the hard way and had multiple unauthorized charges on our card.
The app that Amazon provides is free and doesn’t ask for any credit or debit card information. So if you download load an app that asks for your credit or debit card, DELETE it.
I would rather this product very good to excellent.

Bought for my mother so she can play audible books since she is unable to read books due to a sight degeneration. This was chosen over the dot due to the volume and clarity that it has. It is very responsive, easy to set up and aesthetically appealing

The microphone on this thing is awful.. Constantly confuses me with being a guy, and misses key words if there is noise in the same room.. Besides that... I love this thing!! The sound quality is wonderful (I'm quite a sound quality snob) and the design is fun :) Love this gorgeous blue color!

Sound quality very good, fills large room with very full sound. I purchased for music and to use as doorbell chime and both work well. Also find myself using the timer and asking Alexa about the weather.

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.

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.

Great version of Alexa. I have many of them but this is the best in the lower end models. Definitely value for money!

Surprisingly loud. I didn't expect this speaker to be clear and loud. I originally purchased to use with my Tapo cameras so I can view the feed on my tvs

The Echo 4th Gen with premium sound delivers impressive audio quality—rich bass, clear vocals, and great volume for its size. Alexa responds quickly and integrates well with smart home devices. Setup was easy. Only reason for 4 stars: occasional connectivity hiccups. Still a fantastic smart speaker for music and more!

After having the 3rd generation of the Echo Dot, which I absolutely loved. I decided I wanted to go for something that could fill a room with sound. The Echo does absolutely that at a great price, and it sounds leagues better than the evenly priced JBL Flip 6.

Bought two. Hung upside outside under the soffit. Installed second one and it automatically asked to pair and now they work in stereo. Nice and loud outside

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

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.

I love the sound quality on the ECHO 4th generation. The mic is also great. I could be on the other side of the house ( on the same floor) and the echo still hears me.

I think this is the best echo dot just yet. The sound quality, the size, the sleekness. I like that it matches the overall aesthetic of our home. Overall, it really is the perfect one.
