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!!!!😊

A White Alexa Dot is Better if You Have Cats
I had a Black Alexa thinamajig sitting on my mantle for ages. It has a flat bottom, as you know, so it just sits there, passively, waiting to do your bidding. Unless you have cats. I have cats. Two of them. I've had the same two cats and the same Alexa ball for years. They never bothered each other. Never knew each other were there.Then one day I came home and asked Alexa a question but she was gone. POOP! No Alexa. Her spot on the mantle was vacated. Alexa was no more. Where could Alexa have gone? My furry roommates were not forthcoming and nothing appeared under the furniture so I bought White Alexa.Fast forward six months. I stumble from my bedroom and literally trip over Black Alexa, reappeared after being AWOL all this time. The cats had been using Black Alexa as a ball and hiding her in dark corners I couldnt see. Black Alexa now lives in my bedroom where she can't be moved and White Alexa is much easier to find when the girls want to play.Amazon created White Alexa for people with cats. If you have cats, just go ahead and get White Alexa. You're going to end up doing it anyway.

Excellent smart speaker, highly recommended!
I bought this Alexa speaker and it really exceeded my expectations. The sound is clear, with good bass for its size, and it gets loud enough for a room. Alexa responds quickly, understands voice commands well, and is super useful for playing music, setting alarms, controlling lights, and more.It was easy to set up, and the design looks great. I also like that it works as a Bluetooth speaker and connects easily to Spotify.What I liked the most:✔️ Good sound quality✔️ Fast and accurate Alexa responses✔️ Easy to use and set up✔️ Works with other smart devicesMinor downsides:➖ Needs to stay plugged in (no battery)➖ Might have trouble hearing you in noisy environmentsOverall:An excellent choice if you want a compact speaker with smart features and solid sound. I highly recommend it!

Perfect for a single room
At first I wasn’t feeling it solely because of how low the sound actually is compared to my other speaker. I really bought it for the sound. I wanted a speaker that was louder than the one I already have which I also got from Amazon. Well I wrote an initial review expressing my satisfaction and received a call 20 minutes later from a rep named Michael. I’ll start by saying Michael was the most courteous, understanding, helpful person I’ve ever spoken to at Amazon. His customer service is A1. He explained a lot of things to me. One in particular was that different streaming platforms will give off different sounds which he was absolutely correct! I tried Amazon music, Apple Music, and SoundCloud. Apple Music was the lowest but SoundCloud surprisingly was the loudest. I realized that this device is more so for a single room vs an apartment so I would need more than one device. I also was looking for a Bluetooth speaker and this won’t work if it’s not plugged up which is inconvenient for me because I use music for everything (showering, cleaning, cooking etc..) so I was looking for a Bluetooth speaker that was also loud. I don’t wanna be able to hear myself sounding like Trina Vega while I’m tryna perform like I’m Beyoncé LOL. The other features are absolutely great it’s really just the sound for me. I’ll either buy another (Michael explained that multiple devices can be played at once which would offer the volume quality I’m looking for) or I’ll sell this one and purchase another bigger speaker for Amazon. This product for me is like a 3.75 and the customer service provided was a 600!UPDATE! I connected to another speaker I purchased on Amazon (a Doss Sound) and the volume increased tremendously!! I was gonna sell it because I just hate returning things but now I found a reason to keep it!
