THE SMALLER ECHO THAT IS TRULY A HEAVY-WEIGHT IN PERFORMANCE!!!!
For more than nine years running, I have had Amazon Echo devices on every level of my home. An Amazon Echo lived in the kitchen, the family room, the office, and four bedrooms. All were Generation 1 devices, you know....the tall tower-like devices that if they fell would severely damage your foot!!!😫 Then one day, all of my Generation 1 devices went off-line and ceased to function!!😮 I contacted Amazon for help, and was told the Generation 1 devices were no longer supported by Amazon and could not receive any updates. I can't comprehend how 7 separate devices just stopped working all at the same time. My entire family has come to depend on Alexa to play music, news, weather, podcasts, and many other apps we added to the mix. I ordered a new 5th-generation Echo Dot, and it was delivered overnight. Set-up was easy-peasy using my Alexa app on my phone. It was connected to my internet, and the settings were selected in just a few minutes. The sound from my old Echo was dynamic, but this new Echo Dot produces great-sounding music with the right blend of bass, mid-range tones, and highs brilliantly!!😃 This Echo Dot is small in its dimensions but VERY BIG IN PERFORMANCE!!!😄 The bass is deeper and more pronounced, and the mid-range vocals are more defined and clear!! This new Echo has exceeded my expectations regarding punching out some music!!! This first purchase of the Amazon Echo Dot was my test device, which, if great, would be purchased in greater quantity and set up in each room missing an Echo device.I believe I'll be ordering more of these to satisfy the family!!! The design is very pleasant to look at, and the rounded shape looks more at home than my previous 1st generation units!! I set the Echo so that if I was talking to the unit and stopped, I didn't have to say "Alexa" to wake the device. This unit waits for my next words seamlessly making commands flow much more smoothly!! You can also set whether the Echo, when woken, makes a sound or remains quiet. I like the awake notification especially if I'm not looking directly at the device. This Echo also has a temperature sensor which could make it more repsonsive if it were running a home thermostat!! I like the "+" and "-" bottons on the top of the device to control volume as opposed to turning the top of my old Echos to increase or decrease the volume. You can also, like the older models, use your voice to tell Alexa which level of volume you prefer. Whether you're playing music, listening to news, or getting a weather report, this device can be muted just by touching the top of the Echo!!! NICE FEATURE!!!!😃 It will remain muted until you touch the top again which will pick up where you stopped the unit!!! CONVENIENT!!!!😉 I have also found that this newer generation Echo is much more responsive to voice commands and follows through with exactly you asked for in a flash!!! I discovered that if I didn't know how to install an app or function, or wasn't aware of what's available to run on the unit, Alexa is on the job either describing apps or functions she can perform, or she can tell me how to set up an app or functions in easy to follow clear directions!!!!😉 I haven't in the past set up lights or the house thermostat, but since this Echo seems better suited to the tasks than my previous generation devive, I think I'll venture into the world of Alexa controlled convenience items!!! 🚩I rate this new 5th Generation Echo Dot a super-solid 10 out of 10, because of the units ease of set-up, the quick and crisp responses from Alexa, the improved sound whether playing music or even just news, the addition of volume controls on the topo of this device, and the affordable price of this amazingly handy device!!!! I highly recommend this new 5th Generation Echo Dot to anyone who has gone through the same situation as I with my older devices shutting down, or to new first time buyers that have yet to experience the convenience and helpfulness of owning an Amazon Echo device!!! I can guarantee you that you won't be disappointed in the least with the function and performance of this newest generation Echo device!!!!😊

I bought two!
The newest Echo Dot might be small enough to fit in your hand, but don’t let that fool you—this thing packs a punch. The sound is surprisingly full and vibrant for its size, with deeper bass and clearer vocals than I expected. It fills my room effortlessly, whether I’m playing music, podcasts, or just asking Alexa for the weather.What really sets this model apart is how smart it is. The built-in temperature sensor is a cool upgrade—I’ve actually set routines to turn on my fan when it gets too warm, and it works like magic. The tap controls are also a great touch; I love being able to snooze an alarm or pause music without saying a word.Setup was a breeze, and the compact design blends perfectly into any space. It’s sleek, modern, and doesn’t scream “tech gadget.” Plus, knowing it’s made with recycled materials is a nice bonus—it feels like a thoughtful product in every way.If you’re looking to add a smart speaker to your home (or upgrade an older one), this is the one. It’s reliable, responsive, and honestly just fun to have around.

Big Sound, Small Space — Alexa Never Looked (or Sounded) This Good 🎶🔊💙The newest Echo Dot in Deep Sea Blue is sleek, smart, and surprisingly powerful. The audio upgrade is real — it’s got richer bass and clearer vocals, so whether you’re jamming to your morning playlist or asking Alexa for the weather, it sounds crisp and full.Perfect for bedrooms, offices, or the dining room, this little speaker fits anywhere and looks great doing it. The Deep Sea Blue color? Chef’s kiss. Subtle but stylish — adds a pop of personality to your space without being loud (unless you want it loud 😎).It handles music, smart home control, alarms, reminders, podcasts, and even drops in with other Echo devices. And the mics are super responsive, even from across the room.If you want big sound, bold style, and Alexa in your corner, this Echo Dot is 100% worth it.

Reliable, Smart, and Essential – Just One Small Wish (4.5/5 Stars)
I’ve owned my Amazon Alexa device for quite some time now, and it has become an essential part of my daily routine. Whether I’m using it to control my smart lights, changing colors, dimming them, or turning them on and off, or simply asking for the time, setting reminders, or streaming music, Alexa has consistently delivered a smooth and responsive experience. The voice recognition is excellent, even from across the room, and it integrates seamlessly with my other smart devices. The convenience it offers has truly streamlined the way I interact with my home setup, especially during busy mornings or late nights. One feature I particularly enjoy is the ability to control my lighting with simple voice commands, which has added both functionality and ambiance to my space. Alexa’s responsiveness and reliability in this regard have been impressive. If I had to point out one improvement I’d love to see, it would be the ability to customize the signature blue light ring. Having it as an RGB light that I could personalize to match my room or mood would be a great touch, especially considering how central the device has become in my living environment. Overall, this is a fantastic, versatile gadget that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to upgrade their home or workspace with smart features. It’s user-friendly, consistently reliable, and genuinely useful. Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars (with one wish for RGB customization)
