    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.

    Love these Echos.....got first one as a gift a few years ago, thought it was a gimmicky toy and didn't connect if for awhile. When I finally did, and realized all the cool things it could do I went out and got six more , one for every room and the garage. Great for setting alarms, timers and reminders, playing selected music, answering questions and a ton of other cool things. Don't know how they do it, but they do it well. This last one was bought as a gift.

      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. AmazonDevices
