      Hi Anna,

      We are sorry you are not enjoying the Echo Dot 5th Generation. It is our best sounding Echo Dot yet, with an improved audio experience compared to any previous Echo Dot with Alexa for clearer vocals, deeper bass and vibrant sound in any room. If you are not satisfied with the volume, there are other devices to better fit your needs, like Echo 4th Gen, Echo Show 8, and Echo Studio.

      You can also fill your home with music using compatible Echo devices in different rooms, create a home theater system with Fire TV, or extend wifi coverage with a compatible eero network so you can say goodbye to drop-offs and buffering.

      If you have any further questions, we are happy to help. You can call Amazon customer service, available 24/7 for assistance on the device. You can reach us at 1-888-280-4331!

      Hope that helps! AmazonDevices

      Hi LynetteW, I am sorry about the experience you are having with the Echo Dot. Most problems with device setup arise from a few common issues. If they come up, try the following. * Check that your device has a strong internet connection.* If your device setup uses the Alexa app, check that you have the latest version of the app.* Restart your Echo device. Unplug it from power, wait 30 seconds, then plug it back in. If none of these steps help, or if you have problems registering the device, reset your Echo device to clear up most issues. If you are still experiencing issues, you can reach out to Amazon Customer Support 24/7 at 1-888-280-4331. Thank you for your feedback! AmazonDevices

    Lots of sound and it sounds good. We added it in a kitchen and we have it on all the time now. It’s so easy to ask Alexa for something you need quickly. Highly recommended

    Great unobtrusive speaker

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I am quite pleased with the echo dot. For a relatively inexpensive speaker, it has sound to compete with other way more expensive speakers. If you want the weather, ask Alexa. If you want the volume upper a bit, ask Alexa for volume 5 (or whatever). I use it to stream my pandora music. I just connect it via Bluetooth. If you don’t want it to listen to your conversations just hit the button on top, and a little red light illuminates. It is still functional.

    I upgraded from the original Echo Dot to this one. I love it! The speaker is so much better and since I shopped around I got it for 50% off. Great purchase with no regrets. I will be buying a couple of more as gifts.

    This echo dot is the best item I purchased. Now it can do everything for me without asking any body for help because of my condition of weakness in my hands and body. I am a big fan of Technologies And hoping to get some more that works with Alexa FYI I got This on sale and hoping the others will be too
