    For the most part it meet expectations. Good product. It is the best assistant as far as understanding voice commands. My problem is with the integration of some of my smart devices. I just realized that it doesn't work with ROKU in my region. In addition the integration with the air conditioner works.... sometimes

      Hi Diego, thank you for your feedback. I'm so sorry to see you're having a subpar experience with the Echo Dot. I understand how frustrating it can be that Roku does not work in your region. In regards to connection issues with your air conditioner, here are a few troubleshooting tips for you to try to resolve the issue: 1. Check that your device has a strong internet connection. 2. If your device set up uses the Alexa app, please check that you have the latest version of the app. 3. Restart your Echo device-Unplug it from power, wait 30 seconds, and then plug it back in. 4. If none of these steps help or if you are having problems registering the device, reset your Echo device to clear up most issues. If you are still having issues with the functionality of the Echo Dot, Amazon Customer service is available 24/7 for assistance on the device. You can reach them at 1-888-280-4331. I hope this information is helpful to get your device working properly for you. Thank you! AmazonDevices

    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.

    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
