Echo Dot - Twilight Blue

I like this Alexa, all my appointments are set and I get a reminder.

The reviews were spot on. The sound is bright, which makes it easy for me to hear voices clearly. This is very important to me since I have the BBC playing while I sleep. Other reviews mentioned the top placed buttons feeling less than substantial. I agree. The G2 & G3 dot's buttons are far superior in feel and action. That is not to say the G4 buttons don't work, they do and it is easy to press the correct one in the dark. The G2 & G3 require memorizing the position of the function button you want. The G4 is, in my opinion, more esthetically pleasing and the light ring on the bottom is less obtrusive in the dark. However it is about three times the size of the others. My one nit I have to pickis when I ask Alexa to 'play WAMC', the radio station I like, it and it's sisters and brothers, try to play N.W.A.! They are not what I prefer to wake up to. Overall I like it and would recommend it, especially when the price is $29 as it was when I bought it.

After using the Echo 4 for a bit I am finding that you cannot place it near a TV (makes sense) because the microphones on this new version are very sensitive. I get random activations and spurts of information. When I ask it WHY it just did it, it says it though it was asked a question. lolSo I just moved it from the top shelve of the TV stand (my stand is glass with the TV mount) to the second shelve and there have been no more problems. The top shelve shields the TV sound just fine.The sound on the Echo 4 is noticeably better and sounds AWESOME when paired with one of my Echo 3 devices.I am considering getting another one of the Echo 4 (with a clock) to pair them while listening to music to see how differently it would sound. UNFORTUNATELY every time I try to order the Echo 4 with the clock they are NOT AVAILABLE and I have to wait a month or two for shipment. PLEASE FIX THISSo, my advice if you a purchasing your first or even another Echo device is to purchase the Echo 4

I bought this Echo Dot for the office space we use for school, crafting, gaming, and of course my work. This is my third Echo device for my home, I also have one in my bedroom and one in my teens room. We like using the speakers for music, smart devices and for dropping in on one another when we can't get someone on their phone (teenagers!!). In my office I bought wifi enabled light bulbs since the light switch is in the middle of the room and we don't want to worry about tripping over anything on the way in/out of the room at 7am when we come in for school or at night when we head to bed. The Echo Dot is always responsive and is a life saver for my 6 year old needing the lights on/off. We listen to music often too and the speaker produces amazing sound. I'm not a speaker snob so maybe my opinion is limited but we all enjoy it and that's all that matters for me.

I absolutely love this!! This my very first echo!! Sound quality is awesome, I was expecting some huge round speaker that would look awful but to my surprise it was the perfect size.....
