I broke my big toe when my dog accidentally pulled the power cord on our 1st Gen Alexa and it fell and landed on my toe. OWWW!!! Alexa died as well...sigh...While nursing my now purple-colored extremity, I did some research and found the 4th Gen Alexa Echo has been seriously improved over the original. So... without hesitation, I ordered as we can't live without our companion, Alexa.One-day delivery and setup was a total breeze. Great sound as compared to the original with excellent bass notes in music. Responsive and learned our voices for naming within a few minutes. Everything else exactly as hoped for and new features activated.The only thing that I wish the latest version had copied is the volume control dial of the 1st Gen. Not really an issue, but this one is not as easy to manage volume quickly.Nevertheless, I find this new generation Alexa to be near perfect...faster, better sounding, and highly responsive. It's an easy FIVE STARS for us, along with my honest and hearty recommendation. Great product, and great price in comparison to the original!*If you found my review helpful to you, PLEASE let know by clicking the "HELPFUL" button below!
