    It works great so far, and Alexa Plus is a great addition. It’s significantly better than the old Echo devices. .

    Meh, I'd pass

    Honestly, I think this thing was a waste of money. It doesn't seem to do much more than the cheaper Google Home I replaced it with. The games always crash, and it doesn't listen to half my commands. It fails to turn on the proper lights when I need it to-- though I will say it has a nice little speaker for what it is.

      Hello! Thank you for your feedback on the Echo Dot Max. I'm sorry to hear that the device has not met your expectations, and I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It's great to hear that you're enjoying the speaker quality — the Echo Dot Max features enhanced bass with automatic room adaptation technology that fine-tunes playback for optimal sound, so we're glad that aspect is delivering for you.

      Regarding the issues with voice commands not being recognized and smart home controls not responding properly, here are some troubleshooting steps that may help resolve these concerns. First, ensure your Echo Dot Max has a strong, stable internet connection, as connectivity issues can cause delayed or missed commands. Try restarting the device by unplugging it from power, waiting 30 seconds, and plugging it back in — this clears temporary software issues that can affect responsiveness. For the smart home light controls specifically, verify that your smart home devices are properly linked in the Alexa app and that the device names are distinct and easy for Alexa to distinguish. The Echo Dot Max includes a built-in smart home hub, so you can pair and control lights, locks, and thousands of compatible devices directly without a separate hub.

      For the games crashing, ensure your device software is up to date by checking for updates in the Alexa app under Device Settings. Clearing the device cache or disabling and re-enabling the specific Alexa skills for the games you're using can also resolve stability issues.

      If these steps do not resolve the issues you're experiencing, Amazon Customer Service is available 24/7 for further assistance at 1-888-280-4331. Thank you for your feedback, and I hope this information helps improve your experience with the Echo Dot Max. AmazonDevices
