    I bought this as a gift to my mom for Mother’s Day and she absolutely loves it ! It’s super easy to set up and easy / to use ! It has so many features from streaming your favorite artist to answering questions about basic mathematical questions, or even letting you know about the weather in your area ! Soooo many cool things Alexa is even bilingual which is why my mom loves it because of its voice recognition feature which connects your name to your voice so Alexa will always know who in your household is addressing her ! 10/10 purchase absolutely NO regrets !

    Setup Is Cumbersome: Getting both units set up was more difficult than I expected. The Alexa app was not always intuitive, and going through Wi-Fi configuration, linking accounts, and getting routines going felt more time-consuming than it should be. Learning Commands Is a Challenge: Even after setup, teaching Alexa to understand my commands was a bit tricky. I found myself repeating phrasing, and sometimes the responses weren’t quite what I intended. This made using it less seamless than I hoped. Connectivity & Command Recognition Issues: There are known concerns with 5th-gen Dots missing voice commands or not always responding reliably. Some users on forums report that their devices don’t always pick up the wake word, or that connectivity drops. No 3.5mm Audio Jack: One major downside is that this version lacks a physical audio-out jack, so you can’t easily connect it via cable to external speakers. Sound Limitations at High Volume: While the sound is solid at low-to-medium volume, pushing it higher can lead to distortion, especially for bass-heavy content.

    The setup was easy since I already have other echos in the house. My other echos resemble hockey pucks so I wasn’t too sure about the new ball shape. However, this one is perfectly shaped for the tap/hover feature where you can tap the top or cover with your palm to pause the sound. I think there is also a better sound quality to this Echo as opposed to me older ones. All in all I’m pleased with my purchase.

    The Echo Dot has so many convenient features. Want music for motivation, “Hey Alexa”. Need to reorder household supplies, “Hey Alexa”. Add an appointment to your calendar, “Hey Alexa”. Looking for a recipe for supper, “Hey Alexa”. So, so many features available with Alexa and the Echo Dot’s compact design fits in nicely and has a bold sound when playing music. ❤️❤️Alexa!!

    This Echo Dot works very well. It is easy to set up using the Alexa app and picks up the wifi signal very well. I replaced a 1st generation Amazon Echo with this because it wouldn't pick up the new signal. This Echo Dot has very good sound for a small speaker and is a lot easier to control.

    These little smart speakers are amazing. The sound quality is impressive given its small footprint. We have these smart speakers in almost every room in the house whether the original cylinder type or the echo and echo dot. They great to use as an intercom or to place calls which is handy since my wife is handicapped with limited mobility. I know that she can always reach me if she has a problem. This echo dot was an upgrade from the previous version which can now tell you the temperature of the room that it is placed in. For the price, especially when they are on sale you can't go wrong.

    This smart speaker has been a very nice addition to my home. The sound quality is surprisingly good for its size, with clear voices and enough bass for music, podcasts, and radio. The microphone picks up my voice even with background noise, so controlling lights, timers, and routines is very convenient. Setup through the app was quick and simple, and it works well with the rest of my smart devices. For the price, it offers excellent value and functionality. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a compact smart speaker.
