I’ve always wanted a Alexa device and I finally god one. The Echo Dot has been a game-changer in my home! The sound quality is impressive for its size, and Alexa responds quickly to commands. I use it daily for music, weather updates, and smart home controls. Setup was super easy, and it blends seamlessly into any room. A must-have for anyone looking to add convenience to their home! I would recommend anyone buy this get at least one smart bulb to match. I love tell Alexa to turn off the light from the comfort of my bed or the couch

The Amazon Echo Dot (newest model) is amazing! It delivers vibrant, clear sound for such a compact speaker, and it’s perfect for placing in the bedroom or dining room. Why It’s Great: Great sound quality for its size—fills the room with clear, balanced audio. Alexa’s responsiveness is spot-on, and it works seamlessly with other smart devices. Compact design that fits anywhere without taking up too much space. Final Verdict: Highly Recommend If you want an affordable, high-quality smart speaker with great sound and features, this Echo Dot is a solid choice. ⭐ 5/5 Stars – Perfect for Any Room! ⭐

This device has been really impressive in terms of durability. I've have had it for a while now and it still works flawlessly still. The sound quality is just as good now as it was when I first got it, even after using it daily for over a year. I mainly use it to listen to music on Pandora, and it's also super helpful in the kitchen for setting alarms to keep track of cooking. It has great sound in both the bedroom and living room without taking up too much space, which is a big plus. The setup process was a breeze, and considering the price, it's definitely worth the investment. It's hands down one of my favorite Amazon products. The sound is crisp, the microphone works perfectly, and all the features make it a fantastic addition to any home. If you're looking to start or expand your smart home, this is an excellent choice

Great price, easy setup, pairs nicely with the sub add on... All except it's lack of multipoint Bluetooth, which I assume is how it connects to the sub. Sensitive enough to hear me from farther away than expected, especially around the corner of the doorway that it sits next to, I can call out from the other side of the wall around the corner through the doorway and it picks up and responds. I did activate the beep feature to confirm since I was hoping for that, and it works! At least in my floor plan it does, can't speak for other designs. I'm sure the hard wood flooring has a bit to do with it, if you have softer things around like carpet it probably wouldn't work as well. ...and a white power cord on a black device? I mean really? Did someone not think that one through, or was it just a cheaper option than black? Idk but it's just aesthetics, that and the sub not working when streaming Bluetooth content, why I gave 4 of 5.

I honestly didn’t expect to love my Echo Dot as much as I do, but now I use it every day! It’s small but surprisingly powerful. The sound quality is great, especially for its size, and Alexa makes life so much easier. I use it for everything—playing music, setting timers while cooking, checking the weather before heading out, and even controlling my smart lights. It picks up my voice really well, even when I’m across the room. Setup was a quick and easy, and I love how seamlessly it connects with my other smart devices. Plus, it just looks nice sitting on my shelf. If you're thinking about getting one, do it! It’s one of those little gadgets you don’t realize you need until you have it. Would definitely recommend!

Alexa Echo Speakers Multi-room Music issues I found a solution to not being able to get more than one speaker to work at a time, paired, or set up a “Multi-Room Music” in the Alexa app. This solution also fixed my inability to get Apple enabled devices connected into HomeKit, or even Google Nest Hubs to set up, period. Quick answer: Deselect “Enable Wireless Isolation” when activating your 2.4 Wi-Fi broadcast on your router. I also took all speakers off guest wifi. But I’ll try to put them back to see if that is necessary now. Back story: Months of issues with HomeKit, (only weeks with Echo Multi-Room Music), I gave up trying and decided to try Alexa and Google to replace my Apple smart home efforts. I spent way too much time. After the fix, I’ll live a blended tech life. I’ll give a quick answer, followed by my backstory: Last week I was at my wits end in utter frustration over three major roadblocks. I acquiesced and decided to try Alexa because I couldn’t get almost any of my Apple HomeKit enabled devices into HomeKit, except for new Apple products. I knew it had to be something small I was missing. Alexa was sooooo easy and quick to connect to everything, before I figured out the fix. (I dislike the echo show advertising, their echo speakers are better.) While they seemed a breeze to connect everything, for some reason I couldn’t get more than one echo speaker to work at a time. I was continually blocked from setting up Multi-Room Music or even connect a pair to play together. Hundreds of tries. I deleted, reset, rebooted, spent over 4 hours with Comcast yesterday (thankfully a Boston native who did not put me on hold every minute like certain countries) getting my internet working again. I had rebooted my modem and router so many times, my computer got molasses slow and I feared I went too far In interest I also decided to try a few Google nest hub speakers. Black Friday had great sales on all this stuff. Trying to set up googles hub 7 was impossible. It wouldn’t stay connected to the internet for more than a split second before “Something went wrong” message. Probably over 70 tries. (Google is better than Echo Show. Apple HomePod mini sounds crisper and better than Amazon echo 4 and mini 5’s. But Alexa is way friendlier to interact with verbally, and price point, well...) Frustration. Thursday, I broke down and bought my first Apple Homepod Mini to see if I can get that working and see if it works better than the Apple TV 4k Ethernet connection. The HomePod mini gave me a hint how to solve all these l connection and internet blocks. The HomePod mini kept telling me that I don’t have “peer-to-peer connection” allowed on my network. Now, I’m a little techy, but it took three days (ehem, months) to finally take a chance on a for granted setting I always enable on my netgear router. It’s the blasted first Wireless page when enabling a wifi broadcast. I had to deselect “Enable Wireless Isolation.” That was it. It solved every issue I have come across with smart home tech for the last 4 months, ..year. For the months that I could not solve these problems, Amazons Multi-Player Music issue made me dig deeper. I did not find anyone suggesting this particular router setting, so I thought I’d share with ppl. Tonight, I finally am able to simultaneously play music on all of my Echo speakers, connect my HomeKit enabled and Google nest hubs. I’m not sure what this will do for my/your internet security. But I’m going with it for now. And I’ll try to put all devices back onto guest Wi-Fi. I’ll never really leave Apple, but after interacting with other smart speakers, it’s probably not going to be my main go to for speaker or answers to questions. Or I’ll just get too creeped out by Google and Amazon invasiveness and acquiesce with Apple instead. Echo Dot 5 (this is such a sprite, great speaker!) Echo 4 are my favorite for Amazon Echo Echo Studio seems the least smart, most deaf, quiet, combative, difficult to interact with, of the three speakers. Hopefully the Multi-Room music fix will improve my experience with it Echo Show 8 Meh. Far too much and annoying advertising of non-solicited or wanted advertisements. Least user friendly screen to work with. It sits unplugged for the most part. I mostly got this for a friend who visits who wants a YouTube fireplace playing on the tv. SIDE NOTE on other Smart Home Amazon (online, or physical store) products, related to this topic: I have been pleased with Smartbot plugs, switches and app, the Levoit 600s air purifiers and app (app goes by VeSync), and Lutron Caséta Light Switches and Dimmers, and hub. Lutron has the most stable and reliable app out there. I was fine running their apps separately. They are very nice, better than the big 3 apps. Well, back to listening to music throughout my house instead of one or two rooms. Joy!
