What owners single out
In their words
“I got the Echo Dot (5th Gen, 2022 release) with clock a few months ago. I use it more than i thought i would. The sound is amazing. It does everything your phone can do for you. I love that i can add to my grocery list at anytime. You can call and text anyone. The alarm clock is loud which is good because my husband could sleep through a tornado and never know. The music sounds beautiful.”

“Bought this as a stereo mate to a Dot 4th Gen. And the sound between the two is awesome. I shouldn't have waited. I like that it's plain and somewhat invisible in the room. I don't like how the wall power pack is so large and covers up the 2nd outlet where it lives (there has to be a better way). But I'm impressed, and would buy more.”
