Excellent Smart Speaker with Great Sound Quality
Been using this Echo Dot 5th Gen since August 2023 and it's been fantastic. The sound quality is noticeably better than previous generations - much more vibrant and fuller than you'd expect from such a compact device.After getting this one, I ended up buying another Echo Dot and an Echo Pop, but the Dot is definitely superior to the Pop in terms of audio quality and overall performance. The helpful routines feature works seamlessly and makes daily tasks much easier.The Alexa+ upgrade has been a solid improvement, adding even more functionality. The Deep Sea Blue color looks great and feels well-built.One minor drawback: You can only transfer what's currently playing between Echo devices if you're using Amazon Music. Would love to see this feature expanded to other streaming services like Spotify or Apple Music.Despite this limitation, it's an excellent smart speaker that delivers way more than its size suggests. Highly recommend for anyone looking to start or expand their smart home setup.Pros: Great sound, compact design, reliable Alexa features, good value, routines, alarmsCons: Limited audio transfer between devices for non-Amazon Music

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!

Alexa improves my daily life
I bought this Echo Dot in October 2024, and it's been a great addition to my home. The sound is clear, with good bass for its size, and it responds very well to voice commands. I use it for music, alarms, reminders, and controlling other smart devices without any issues.The glacier white design blends perfectly with any environment, especially bedrooms and offices. Setup was also super easy and quick using the Alexa app. Highly recommended if you're looking for a smart assistant with great functionality and a modern aesthetic.

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!
