We love our echo dot and you will too!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love our Echo Dot. This is the second one that we have purchased and we plan on getting another. We absolutely love the Smart control and voice to light activation. The daily history is so fun to learn as we wake up in the morning with our Alexa, echo dot.
I would recommend this to a friendFar from the best; however, OK.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This unit has difficulty in comprehending voice demand. After several tries, it catches on; however, not always.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDuhhhh.....
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Alexa needs to go back to school and study up on her geography. You ask her for travel time from A to B and she gives you a wacko response totally unrelated to your question. I have continuously given feedback, however nothing seems to come of it. I know it's not her, it's the idiots writing the code. I'll ask her to play music by XXX from Pandora and she'll play music by ZZZ from I ❤ radio. Geez get it right, OK?
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNo Display only speeaker
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.No Display only speaker. I will not recommend to anybody by this product. Its only wastage of money.

Posted .Hi JamalahmadA,
Thank you for sharing your feedback about the Echo Dot (5th Gen). I can see there's been some confusion here, and I want to clarify what might have happened.
The Echo Dot (5th Generation) is designed as a smart speaker only—it doesn't include a display screen. This is the standard design for the Echo Dot line, which focuses on delivering quality audio and Alexa voice assistance in a compact, affordable format. If you were expecting a device with a screen, you may have been looking for the Echo Show 5 or Echo Spot, which are Amazon's smart displays that combine a screen with speaker functionality.
I understand this wasn't what you needed, and discovering that after purchase is frustrating. If you're still within the return window, I'd encourage you to exchange it for an Echo Show model that includes the display you're looking for. The Echo Show 5 (5.5" screen) or Echo Show 8 (8" screen) would give you both visual display and speaker capabilities.
If you have any questions about which Echo device would best fit your needs, Amazon customer support at 1-888-280-4331 can help guide you to the right product.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

I would recommend this to a friendAlways get a second opinion if you can get a secon
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's not exactly what I was looking to buy I thought it would have the time on it I asked one of your associates what was the difference between a white one and the black one other than the price of $10 he said because of black the color so I bought what I did not exactly what I wanted the time lit on it

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was less than I expected. The sound and the setup are a bitt complicated.
I would recommend this to a friendGoing back to my old one (3rd gen)
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I updated ours thinking that the sound and features would have improved over the last few years. I was wrong. This one constantly pauses (great feature if not so sensitive to its own sound) plus I had to start over on my “liked” library. That shouldn’t be if saved through an account- at least you would think. Also one star on this review app. You cannot see text while reviewing. I mean get it together BB. It’s only 2023.
