    I've finally upgraded my old 2nd gen Dot to the new 4th gen. It does the same thing, but the sound is noticeably better. I really like the new round ball shape and the light on the bottom. Looks great on my desk.

    We have 5 Amazon echoes through out are home, 4 4th generation dots, 2 with clocks, and 1 large premium sound dot in the kitchen. They work great and I would recommend them to any family, the are extremely helpful in many ways, the only thing is you have to be willing to study and learn them as a family. It takes time, best to start with the basics and go from there. In time you will be glad you did. They have made it to where my family doesn’t have to constantly scream back and forth at each other. Next we’re planning on getting a ring security system to connect to the echoes and the lights. Hopefully soon we will have a true smart home.

    Never thought I would want an Alexa device but it has really been amazing. Even simple things such as setting alarms or controlling lights in the room, make it worth the price. Definitely a must in your home.

    Excellent Product - Exceeded my expectations

    This is an excellent product. I have several models of Amazon Echo devices and satisfied with all of them. Sound quality on this one is better than the others. I recently bought a new home and have been upgrading lights/TVs for Alexa use. I was surprised to find that the Echo-Dot (4th Gen) had a capability to detect movement and automatically turn on lights when someone passed by. Have placed this device in our library room primarily to play music, adjust lights and answer questions. Very satisfied with the performance and pricing of the Echo Dot (4th Gen) - exceeded my expectations.

    Alexa! What can I do without you? I purchased this one after having a past generation one. This one is not only louder, it has so many great capabilities. More features and a nicer design as well.

    Great sound. Louder then expected. Small bedroom or big bathroom it’s perfect. Much better then it should be for its size. Ended up with 6 and 2 of the bigger echos for the master and the kitchen/living room

    I love this little baby I’d honestly pay up to $100 for it no lie. I’ve never used Siri on my phone or Alexa when I had my galaxy phone but this I like. The speakers get loud but the sound at maximum doesn’t sound great. I wouldn’t turn this up past 75% but this little ball is so much more then a speaker. Just buy it lol it’s only $35 and you can return it lol I’m serious it’s awesome and the fact that it acts as a smart hub also just pushes it over the edge. I will probably give this one to my mother in a couple months and purchase the more expensive one with the bigger speaker not cause this speaker is bad but cause I think this one is very underpriced.

    My first of many echo products, find this one to be rebost in design and fullness of sound. Be cautioned that it is always listening which could be a good and a bad thing but it delivers on demand.

    This was to replace a 1st generation Echo Dot. The sound is better, It looks better than the hockey puck that was Gen 1. My main complaint is the power. Gen 1 used a USB B Mini connector, my socket has 2 USB outlets so no problem. This Gen 4 has a big plug making me rearrange other items that were plugged into that outlet.
