    Nice remote speaker with Alexa. Going to return since I want the bigger Echo cause of the sound quality.

    Speakers sound a little better than previous version. Also like that it has a temperature sensor, so I can ask Alexa what is the temperature in the room. Sensor seems fairly accurate, although it tends to report slightly higher values than standalone sensors I use in same room).

    The Echo device has a rich sound and Alexa is remarkably smart. The added bonus of a free trial of Amazon Music was impossible to activate despite calls to both Best Buy and Amazon.

    I bought two generation 5's. One worked perfectly. The other sporadically. It would unpair itself and I would have to initiate a startup again. I am hoping it's an anomaly and will correct itself eventually. Here's hoping.

      Hello Javi! Thank you for your feedback on the Echo Dot. While the standard Echo Dot is a smart speaker without a display, Amazon offers several options if you're looking for visual features. The Echo Spot features a compact, round 2.5-inch screen that shows the time, weather, and other information in a sleek, alarm clock-style design. For even more display capabilities, the Echo Show family offers full smart displays, including the Echo Show 5 with a 5.5-inch screen, Echo Show 8 with an 8-inch HD screen, Echo Show 10 with a 10.1-inch HD screen and motion capabilities, and the Echo Show 15 with a 15.6-inch Full HD screen. These Echo Show devices not only display the time but also support video calls, streaming content, photo displays, weather forecasts, smart home controls, and more. If having visual features is important to you, you might want to consider upgrading to either the Echo Spot or one of the Echo Show models, depending on your needs and space requirements. In the meantime, you can always ask your current Echo Dot "Alexa, what time is it?" for a verbal time announcement. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the device! AmazonDevices

      Posted .

      Hello! Thank you for your feedback on the Echo Dot. I'm sorry to hear about the setup difficulties and connectivity issues with your Xfinity WiFi service. To resolve the WiFi connection problems, ensure your Echo Dot is within 30 feet of your router and download the latest Alexa app. Plug in your device, wait for the orange light ring, then open the Alexa app, tap More, select Add Device, choose Amazon Echo, and follow the setup instructions. When connecting to Xfinity WiFi, use the 2.4GHz network if available, as Echo Dot works best with this band. If the network isn't detected, restart your router by unplugging it for 30 seconds, move your Echo Dot closer during setup, and check that Xfinity security settings aren't blocking the connection. If issues persist, reset your Echo Dot by holding the Action button for 25 seconds until the light turns orange, then try setup again. If these steps don't resolve the connectivity issues, Amazon Customer Support is available 24/7 at 1-888-280-4331 for advanced troubleshooting specific to your network configuration. I hope this helps get your Echo Dot connected successfully! AmazonDevices

    Love these Echos.....got first one as a gift a few years ago, thought it was a gimmicky toy and didn't connect if for awhile. When I finally did, and realized all the cool things it could do I went out and got six more , one for every room and the garage. Great for setting alarms, timers and reminders, playing selected music, answering questions and a ton of other cool things. Don't know how they do it, but they do it well. This last one was bought as a gift.
