    Smart switches and lights easy to connect, but novelty of a smart home quickly wore off. My one experience with Amazon tech “support” was horrible and I ended up figuring out how to solve the problem myself. Sound quality is a dud. And no, Alexa, I don’t want to subscribe to Amazon music so please stop asking.

    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.

    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.

      Hi MissMolly, thank you for providing feedback on your experience with the Echo Dot. We are constantly looking for ways to improve our devices and so this information is very helpful. I do want to share some information regarding privacy. You have the ability to mute the device by pressing the button with a circle and a line through it. The button will turn red when muted. Saying 'Alexa' will not unmute the device and you'll have to press it again to unmute and use Alexa as normal. Hopefully this information is helpful for the future. Thank you again for your feedback and have a wonderful day! AmazonDevices
