Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the Echo Dot (4th Gen)'s sound quality and ease of use, frequently praising its compact size and improved design. Many appreciate its affordability and seamless connectivity with other smart home devices. While some users wished for enhanced bass and faster response times, the positive feedback on the product's core features outweighs these minor drawbacks.

    Gen 4 compared to gen 3 Echo

    Having two Echos in one house lead me to want a second in this house. The 4th gen Echo was being offered at a discount price along with a free smart bulb, so I got this unit. A good value, considering the sale price plus free smart bulb. Frankly, I don't like it as well as the "hockey puck" models. The larger sphere doesn't tuck away as neatly as the flat units and the activation light on the bottom is harder to see if you are close to the Echo. The sound is supposed to be marginally better that the 3rd gen units but I can't really tell a different, with them side by side. I put the new unit where the old one was and moved the old one into the kitchen. The location of the old unit actually makes it sound superior to the new unit. The gen 4, at least this one, doesn't seem to be as responsive as the other. Frequently, I have to raise my voice to get this thing to respond and, as a result, the old unit answers me instead of the one that I am only 6-8 feet away from. Personally, I prefer the gen 3.

    Love these Echo dots! Kids got them for Christmas and I just hooked up the light bulb that came with them as Best Buy promotion. Now hopefully my son will no longer leave the light on in his room!

    The best static free am radio. with a timer, remote volume control, alarm clock. any thing else you can ask.We tried several radios to listen to AM stations at night. All had alot of static.And no push button station selection. I then thought an alexa dot would be perfect.
