Purchased this as a Christmas gift and we’re told it was easy to hook-up to their wifi. The sound quality is good, but not great; but then again, it’s not a Bose system so that’s not a knock on it. The bulb works well in the kids’ room and they have fun with the changing colors. This wasn’t expensive, so it was a good buy.

I really laughed at myself for even considering this Echo Dot. What do I need a personal assistant for? But Amazon had such a great sale and low price I could not pass this up. And I am glad I did not. Not only is it the fastest way to get the weather and the traffic conditions, but I set reminders all the time, and timers, and stopwatches. The grocery list is great, to add things to it, have Alexa read what is on the list, and print out the list when I am ready to go shopping. Since I have Amazon Prime (and it is well worth it), I can play a wide range of music free, and it sounds pretty good. I really am pleased with this Echo Dot 5th Generation with Alexa.

I wasn’t sure what the hype was all about.. Easy breezy idiot proof set up. Simply download Alexa app, plug in your “dot” and it just guides you through.Took me like 30 seconds. Only issue I had was to link it with sirius XM but that is because of Sirius XM app (saw others struggle with it). Sound system is soooo crisp, that it surpasses my more expensive Bose stereo that I paid $$$ years ago for. Can’t believe such a small gadget can have that much surround sound feel.. It’s like I installed a built in sound system. Small, inconspicuous, fits in the palm of your hand that it does’t take any space.; like a small mug.Now that I saw what this little gadget can do I want to get everything Alexa compatible..After I bought it, price went down on “deals” so I bought more for gifts and more for me.. I use it mostly to play music, haven’t tried to link it to my honeywell Alexa compatible thermostat just because, like Serius XM ‘s app, honeywell’s wifi control is not easy to set up and, from what I read, not so reliable either, so I figured I keep using it as manual and not try to get too fancy. But Echo dot is awesome!
