This is the the fifth dot I’ve purchased, but the first 4th gen. (4 3rd gen’s and 2 Toshiba Fire TVs). Setup was easy, so no news there but the sound quality is better than on the 3rd gens. Also, it hears better. The improved aesthetics are an eye-catcher that draw questions, comments and compliments. I have yet to set up my smart home so I can’t speak to it’s smart home functionality, but as with everything Amazon I’m looking forward to that integration. If you’re looking to jump into the smart assistant/Alexa world or looking to upgrade from previous generations then this is a good device though there are now plenty of 3rd gens, both new and pre-owned that are more reasonable. Still, this is a great device that I highly recommend. We use it, and all our other Dots all day long for announcing, news, music, drop-in, calendar and timer notifications, shopping among other features. In closing, five-stars! 🙂

I’m loving the full sound, a great upgrade. What I don’t like is the white cord, why not black? Not sure 🤔 who made the decision for the cord to be white. For a little tech toy the sound is really nice for the price. I love the new design, why not add a digital clock on the charcoal design was disappointing but not a huge one. Overall a great sound from a little toy, can’t wait for them to add the new feature that allow me to monitor issues when I’m away at work and alert me real time on my phone…..

I recently purchased the Echo Dot 3rd generation during the Prime Days promotion, but was very dissatisfied with the sound quality: too much bass.Today, I received the Echo Dot 4th generation, and I’m completely satisfied with the sound. Not only do I use the Dot for news and weather, but also listening to my audiobooks. This version is a real winner.I can only upload one video, so it will be of the 4G device. Trust me when I say this is a tremendous improvement.

Device is great, but beware… the black ones come with a white cable… unlike the previous model. No idea why they did this.

I have a few Dots around the house. One decided to have an attitude and she had to be replaced. Problem with voice recognition. I still pay the bills around here so she is not here any more!! HaHa!! I replaced her with the new Echo Dot 4th Gen in Blue. How pretty! It matches my home furnishings. Love the ball design. Very different but really kool. Sound is beautiful. I love playing music and the tone is great. I’ll update if I run into a problem but so far I’m really pleased with this new design, color and sound. Highly recommend.

This smart speaker is great at controlling your smart home and light music listening. While it sounds okay to a person with good taste in sound, the normal consumer would love this. Overall a must-buy!

This is my fourth echo and the worst one of them all! I’ve had 2 generation 1 echo dots, a gen 3, and now this one! While the voice recognition does work and it has a bigger speaker the sound quality sucks! I normally like to listen to music while I cook dinner on the echo but this echo have no bass or treble. Just received it today and I’m about to send it back and just buy another Gen 3 for my downstairs. Amazon how do you upgrade a product but make it worse? 🤦♀️ DO NOT BUY if you care about sound quality.EDITED: Decided to keep the Echo Dot and use it in a bed room with the sound quality really didn’t matter that much. I will say the voice recognition is a lot better than the echo three but I still prefer the echo three as far as sound quality. I increased it one star.EDIT 4/15/21: I don’t know what type of Amazon did recently. But all of a sudden one day I started getting base and trouble on my echo IV and the sound quality improved. I’ve even had to turn the bass off because I decided to use this in my bedroom and all of my music made me want to dance instead of go to sleep with the extra bass 😂 I also want to add that I noticed the voice recognition and pick up is a lot better than my other Echo Dot Gen 3 so I’m changing this to 5 ⭐️

After reading some reviews here, I was a little leery about purchasing this, but I received this yesterday, and it was packaged fine and arrived in good condition.It set up with no problem, and is working fine. She can hear and respond when I speak quietly from across the room.The sound is great and the music sounds fine to me. Just as good as my previous dots and Echo Shows. Which I still have. The volume and sound seem good and loud, unlike some reviewers problems.I told her to read me a book, and she started a book from my Kindle library. The short time I listened to it she sounded clear.I told her to bark like a dog, just to get my little Yorkie going —I know, mean, right?I put her thru a few more tests, and I am happy.We set this up in the bedroom last nite, and my husband told her to wake him at 8 am with the song BIG LOG. Which she did. Much more pleasant than waking up to a jarring alarm buzzing.It’s Only been one day but so far I am very happy with this, and my husband is too, since he hasn’t been able to figure out how to set the clock/radio alarm, and this is so much easier.I hope this will keep working well, which I think it will-my other devices have.Hope this review helps someone.

Much smaller than expected but the sound is phenomenal. I have almost every single version of the Echo and Echo dot in my house for an easy to use Spotify music setup to surround my upstairs with music but this little orb is the best sounding of the lot. Highly recommended and a great improve over the Dot. I hope that Amazon keeps this style for a while.

I currently have 6 Echo devices and I have had nearly every model since the original pringles can design. I love the look of the new globe style dots. I purchased this latest dot for use near my new Xbox in the media room. the sound is excellent for its size and I love the futuristic look and shape of the device. Highly recommended! Amazingly simple setup took all of 20 seconds using the alexa.amazon.com website!
