Excelente Alexa
The truth has surprised me a lot with this Alexa. The sound is very clear and for the size it has it sounds quite loud, ideal for playing music in the living room or in the kitchen. I also use it to ask for alarms, reminders and even to control the smart lights, and it works super well.The configuration was quick and simple, practically in minutes it was ready to use. In addition, the design is beautiful and takes up almost no space, it looks good anywhere.In summary: practical, easy to use and with very good audio. It’s worth it!

Very practical and easy to use
I’m delighted with Alexa. The configuration was quick and easy, the sound quality is very good and it recognizes voice commands without problems. I use it to listen to music, set alarms, control the lights and ask quick questions, and everything works perfectly. In addition, the design is modern and looks great in any space of the house. Without a doubt, an excellent purchase that I recommend to anyone looking for comfort and technology at home.

Excellent product, exceeded my expectations
Excellent product, exceeded my expectationsIām really happy with my Echo Dot. The setup was very easy and in just a few minutes it was up and running. The sound quality is surprisingly good for its size, with clear vocals and decent bass. I use it to play music, set reminders, control my smart lights, and even check the weather before leaving home.What I like the most is the convenience of being able to control everything with my voice, even when my hands are busy. Alexa responds quickly and gets better at understanding my routines over time. Plus, its compact design fits perfectly in any space.I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to make their home smarter and more convenient.

Another great smart home purchase, to say the least.
My previous Echo Dot, purchased back in 2018, was a third-generation. It was a white shuffleboard stone covered in cloth and it is amazing. I’ll never say it’s not; in fact it’s so amazing that I passed it on to my mom and she enjoys it a great deal.So, my main motivation for purchasing this, the fifth generation issued in 2022 ā aside from familiarity with the brand ā was I needed a Matter hub so my then-incoming Nanoleaf smart lightbulbs could work with my voice. But of course it is so much more.First thing I see is that the Echo Dot is no longer a white shuffleboard stone but is a smaller, navy blue sphere. Aside from being my favorite color, and thus very pleasing to look at, I find it that it is not practical any longer to mount on my wall because of its increased focus on the forward firing speaker; if I had mounted it, it would not be effective in spreading out to my entire room ā the top of the speaker is reserved for the buttons which were present on the third-generation: volume up, volume down, action/wake and mute microphone, which leave no room for a speaker in that area. So it sits pretty on my side table facing the rest of my room, and does fine.First thing I hear is the sound quality is so much better than the third-generation Dot. The third-generation was okay in that regard, but it tended to sound a little overexposed when the volume was up high. Now, I don’t find myself connecting via Bluetooth to my sound bar nearly as much because the speaker quality is just that good. The quiet parts of music are quiet and calming the way they should be, but the bass thumps quite effectively, surprisingly for such a small and lightweight speaker.So after I’d established the smart speaker in my room for about a month, I felt the time was right to go ahead and get my Nanoleaf Essentials bulbs, to upgrade the ones that I had no longer been able to use for a year since they had stopped working with any voices assistants, to facilitate compatibility with the then upcoming network standard: Matter. I am very happy to say that Matter compatibility is there and it is wonderful.I can’t speak for the internal workings because I’m not an engineer; I will say ā though I may be wrong about this ā that I believe it would be more rocky if I did not have a Thread Border Router already in the form of my Nanoleaf shapes controller; I have the shapes arrangement atop my desk called Dragon, and it has worked wonderfully for me since around last September, and only ā at this point anyway ā required regular firmware updates to be compatible with ongoing technology.Now, I’ll tell you the procedure for adding the Nanoleaf Essentials bulbs to Alexa via Matter ā I would assume by extension any Matter device, providing you have a thread border router like I mentioned before. After adding the bulbs to the iOS Nanoleaf app as normal ā also updating the firmware for each bulb via said app! I have a feeling that was very important ā add them also to Alexa via the Add Device flow, one at a time. There was a menu item that showed itself at the top telling me that it had detected each new bulb on my network and I only had to select that item to add it, scan the QR code on the sticker that came with the bulbs (I applied the sticker to a sheet of paper and labeled it according to the positions of the bulbs) and wait just a bit for it to be connected and it just works!Another new feature which the third-generation did not have is a temperature sensor! After a short period of calibration after plugging the device in, Alexa will be able to tell you the temperature of the room that it is situated in! I ask her for this often when I’m trying to determine how best to cool my room during these hot summer months. When my door’s closed during the day, my room can get up to mid 80s, which is horrible, but with the door open to allow a draft and breeze, the temperature’s equalized with the rest of the house and I get mid to upper 70s which is much better.There is an ultrasound presence sensor, which sounds not unlike sonar, which I have not had a use for yet, but I imagine routines can be enabled or suppressed with its use.One borderline negative thing I will say about it which I’m okay with because, again, I have Bluetooth connections ā they eliminated the 3.5 mm jack to save internal space inside the device, so you will no longer be able to directly connect external speakers, as I did at one point before I had to change that arrangement.Once again, Amazon comes through with flying colors with their products, helping make our homes smarter and more amazing and just better to live in! Get this speaker if you are looking to build a smart home, and for best results, get more than one so you can use the awesome “drop-in” intercom system, and truly awaken the potential of the smart home!

Good product
I think that it the echo dot is very easy to use. It has a very quick response time, and the light’s brightness changes with the brightness level in the room. I mostly use it for my alarm and for music when I’m home alone. The only thing that I have against it is that if it is on a surface that has any sort of slight vibration, it will disconnect for a couple of seconds. I have it on a shelf on my bedframe, and it will stop working for a few seconds if the bedframe moves at all. Other than that, the music sounds great, and the color is very nice. Other than this slight issue, I think that it is a great product and good for home usage.

Without a doubt, an excellent purchase100%
I love Alexa; it’s a very practical and easy-to-use assistant. Setup was quick, and it’s made my life easier from the start. I can control the lights, play music, check the weather, set reminders, and even make shopping lists just by using my voice. The sound quality is excellent, and the microphone perfectly recognizes commands, even from a distance.

Have your app downloaded and all your password for Amazon
She talks, she listens, she turns off my lights ā what more could you want?!The Echo Dot is my new favorite roommate! Sheās helpful, sassy (if you want her to be), and always ready to play music, set timers, tell jokes, and even remind me where I put things (okay, almost).Setup was a breeze ā the hardest part was remembering my Amazon password and having all my logins handy to download the Alexa app. Once that was sorted, it was smooth sailing.Now I can say āAlexa, good morning!ā and she tells me the weather, news, and cranks up my playlist ā all before Iāve even had coffee.Bonus: she looks cute on the counter and blends right inā¦ until she starts talking and steals the show.If youāre on the fence ā go for it. Sheās small, smart, and a total game changer! š¬š¶š
