I recently bought a homepod mini to see how it compares to this Echo. I gotta be honest that the smaller homepod mini sounds much better than the bigger Echo....but I'm still liking the Echo device better because of Alexa. I have programed Alexa to greet me every morning with a positive message, the weather report and the news. Alexa also greets me when I get home after work and sings me a little song. Alexa dims my lights in the evening and later says good night and plays 30 mins of soothing music while I drift off to sleep. I love all of the things I can program Alexa do for me. Unfortunately I cannot program Siri on the homepod to do all of these things. Siri can play music when you ask her to and tell you the weather when you ask her to but it doesn't compare to ... MoreI recently bought a homepod mini to see how it compares to this Echo.

The Amazon 4th generation is super easy to use and really convenient with our busy lives with a few little ones running around. All you need to do is take it out of the box, plug it into an outlet, and follow the instructions in the Alexa app which is required. Once you’ve connected it to your Wi-Fi you have access to the Alexa personal assistant, a mamas dream. With Alexa you can do everything from control compatible smart home devices, make a list, set reminders to asking it questions about the weather. I was able to play music directly from the speaker just by asking Alexa and the assistant was also helpful with controlling playback. And there are also buttons built into the top of the speaker for playback. I totally recommend turning on “Follow-up Mode” in ... MoreThe Amazon 4th generation is super easy to use and really convenient with our busy lives with a few little ones running around.

I was able to play music directly from the speaker just by asking Alexa and the assistant was also helpful with controlling playback. And there are also buttons built into the top of the speaker for playback. I totally recommend turning on “Follow-up Mode” in device settings so that you don’t need to repeat the wake word after you’ve asked the speaker a question. So after you’ve asked Alexa a question it will answer and then automatically listen to for a few seconds to see if you have a follow up question, because saying Alexa each time can get a bit annoying. We’re a house full of Alexas so it’s nice to be able to talk within the devices instead of yelling for the kids to come downstairs. This 4th gen is larger and rounder than the previous generations we have but having a different look than the others is nice for aesthetics around the house. We also received the Amazon smart plug. It’s rectangular, 3 prong and measures 1.5 x 3 x 2 inches, so you need to make sure you have enough space to plug this THEN your cord to your electronic. Super easy to install, also within the Alexa App. It’s definitely convenient to be able to talk to turn our lights off with hands full of kids. Overall, Alexa is helpful and easy to use. From one busy mama to another, snag it up.

The deep sound and sound quality was very good for my needs. It was easy to link to wifi. Its been almost a year since I got it x I have had no problems with it. I had to look up some times what the color ring means. I knocked off a couple stars because of the hidden software feature that was in product. Amazon activated this software program months later that made all the echo products discoverable to be used by someone within range to utilize the echo wifi feature as a neighborhood link up. (cant remember what it was called) . Amazon activated this feature in their own without us knowing. The way I found out was by paying attention to tech stories which mentioned this was happening. The only choice you have is to un-activate that feature. So I am sure there are ... MoreThe deep sound and sound quality was very good for my needs. It was easy to link to wifi.

That was bullcrap on their part to create this sofrware program that automatically went into service on their end with no say from the customers end. Very bothersome practice. I am mainly a Apple household but went with this product just to get something started like this that was affordable with goid sound.

The 4th gen Echo was purchased to provide music from radio stations and other sources. The 4th gen Echo Enhanced Sound upgraded the pleasure of music. You can tell Alexa to play classic, pop, Christmas and other types of music or to play a certain radio station. You can have our arms full and tell Alexa to report the weather. A big plus is the away feature. It acts like a security system. Alexa listens for any alarm for a smoke or CO detector or any sounds like breaking glass. She will notify me if something happens. Another plus is if you have multiple Echo dots you can play music throughout the house and also announce things like dinner or if you have company that has come. Negative – the power cord is white instead of charcoal matching the Echo and many times ... MoreThe 4th gen Echo was purchased to provide music from radio stations and other sources.

I had for a long time Goggle home, but I decided to try the Echo and this intelligent platform provides new and high quality features that made me change my mind and moved all my smart devices at home to the Amazon Echo. 4 Things that I have enjoyed the most about this intelligent unit: Speaker Sound, the omnidirectional speaker is a great advantage and I can enjoy the music and listen clear while making calls. Very well bass balance and clear voice. Mic and Voice Recognition, very sensitive and so far I have not have any gap or interference during conversations or while making commands. Shape and Look, it looks great in either my bedroom or Living room. Setup, the setup was a breeze, very simple and intuitive. Definitely a way better multi-function device, smart ... MoreI had for a long time Goggle home, but I decided to try the Echo and this intelligent platform provides new and high quality features that made me change my mind and moved all my smart devices at home to the Amazon Echo. 4 Things that I have enjoyed the most about this intelligent unit: Speaker Sound, the omnidirectional speaker is a great advantage and I can enjoy the music and listen clear while making calls.

Great sound quality. I have a pair of these which I set up to perfor Great sound quality. I have a pair of these I set up to to perform as left and right stereo speakers joined with an Amazon subwoofer. I have a third at my bedside, which also sounds great solo. I bought this third one on sale for $60 and placed at my bedside which also sounds great solo, and better set up as a group with my Show 8. The non OEM wall mounts were sold separately, just fyi. The cons are the typical Amazon issues of Alexa not understanding your voice or not executing the command.
This item has great sound for it's use in the Kitchen. Presence detection is also amazing for triggering weather reports and notifications in the morning. It has to be noted that the presence detection has a cooldown so expect a detect every 20-30mins. It's not motion detection. This was bought because of the inbuilt hub Zigbee possibly bluetooth hub. If after deeper sounds or future proofing with possible utilization of this hub, get this, otherwise I would recommend the dot version of this.
Really great sound compared to the other Echo Dots. Our use of this specific Echo Dot was to play low level relaxation/meditation music in our Massage chair room. It works wonderfully for that purpose prose but we’ve also tied it into our whole house “Everywhere” group so that it can play whatever we are listen while cleaning or having guests. Really decent treble and a substantial amount of base for a little speaker. Definitely worth the extra money to get the sound that you get from this. Paired with another speaker like itself and an Echo sub it might just be your go to speakers for your entertainment area.
We own four of these in different sizes and colors, bought/gifted to us over the past few years. The idea was initially great but has degraded over the months/years. If you don't have an Amazon Music account (paid up), the music choices are woefully limited. The games? Try one out for ten minutes and they want to charge a subscription to your Amazon account. Want to hear one of the celebrity voices? Pay six bucks. Things that seem to be free are not. Quality? My older dots are better than the newer ones. The sound is muffled on one, etc. And yes, they are all placed in wifi areas away from interfering objects, etc. Also, there is not voice recognition. If anybody at all, even someone on television or a neighbor outside the window, says one of the "wake words" one of ... MoreWe own four of these in different sizes and colors, bought/gifted to us over the past few years.

If anybody at all, even someone on television or a neighbor outside the window, says one of the "wake words" one of the dots lights up and tries to either answer something not asked, play something unwanted, or sell us something. These usually work well as alarms, can sometimes answer a random question (but often it's a wrong answer, and yes we're all American-born and bred English speakers) Above all, lately? The dots will play maybe two songs or answer a couple of questions before asking if we want items put in our carts. So, as far as those of us on the block here are concerned, these have been reduced to sellers of all kinds. Oh, and alarm clocks. They usually get the times right. Oh, they suck your information. They actually do listen, and I can't tell you who told me, but they don't just "learn" from us as they say, they suck information. We're going to try packing these up and getting Google Nests.
I resisted buying Alexa and Echo devices for a long time, but the benefits of this product are that it includes the ZIGBEE HUB which can replace additional hubs for smart lights and other home smart devices. Our outdoor lights now are all "SMART" and have been scheduled to go on at dusk and off at dawn. It's great too if we're all out later than expected as the lights come on without us being at home on schedule. I'm using this now for more things than I expected. One of the most enjoyable features is the ability for the device to "READ" books out loud - I use the free LIBBY app that gives access to free books from libraries. My family lives together in a 3 story house. The other thing these devices have done is stopped us from either having to SCREAM to get each ... MoreI resisted buying Alexa and Echo devices for a long time, but the benefits of this product are that it includes the ZIGBEE HUB which can replace additional hubs for smart lights and other home smart devices.

My family lives together in a 3 story house. The other thing these devices have done is stopped us from either having to SCREAM to get each other or to use a telephone to call each other... now since we have a variety of Echo devices from the basement to the 3rd floor we can speak to each other with ease whenever. We can also use it to make a phone call - we haven't had an emergency use yet and hope not to, but it's nice to know that even if one of us is home alone we can always call each other, or the list of special contact numbers we've added to the list of important people to call. And the RADIO! If you know the call letters for any radio station in the world you can call it up and listen in the privacy of your own room, OR if we're together at dinner, we call call for music on a radio station or Pandora app to play. For a couple of us that really love to listen to music, we have two Amazon devices in our rooms so we get a STEREO effect. And on the first floor we created a "GROUP" so we have the option of playing music on just one device OR we can play for the "first floor group" to have surrounding sound on the entire floor. We got rid of so many extra devices as this has replaced a few. Like radios and alarm clocks. We put one of these on each floor, and one of the tiny Amazon FLEX (smaller than a pack of cigarettes and not as good a sound) in the basement.
