    I've returned it cause to use it you need to buy a lot of subscriptions. Google Nest is much better! Don't waste your money.

      Hello Muza! Thanks for trying out the Echo Dot. I'm sorry to hear about the frustrations with subscriptions. There is a lot you can do for free on the Echo Dot like asking about the weather, setting timers, making voice calls to other Alexa enabled devices, control lighting/thermostats/smart plugs/appliances and more. If you want to play music, you can add your preferred music platform whether it be Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora and more. I surely hope you give the Echo Dot another try and as always, if you have any questions, you can contact Amazon customer service at 1-888-280-4331 for support on this device. AmazonDevices

    Kept saying it was in the wrong house instead of its own. Had to be a bad one because I asked the Good Samaritan neighbor if he’d seen or heard it where it said it was on his property and he had no knowledge of any such speaker.

      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

    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
