Review: Got It For Setting Up Stereo But Really Like It By Itself As Well. - I got a Dot with clock to try out the new shaped Echos and really enjoy it. I enjoy it so much I decided to buy a second , without clock , to make a stereo effect when using Alexa for music. Little did I know I can incorporate my full size Echo to enhance the bass , like is a sub woofer. Does it rattle the windows ? No. Does it sound very nice ? Yes About this particular Dot . I got black because of where it'll be located so it would basically disappear but if you're not trying to hide one the other colors are really nice as well. The white isn't bright white but isn't bordering cream either. I really liked the sky blue color of my first one (until I discovered a black Sharpie worked well to make it black while not blocking out the clock ) so it's a nice way to go as well. My last full size Echo was the blue and it is a nice color choice for just about any color scheme room , unlike the white and black that can really become an unwanted drawing of the eyes point but I digress. The buttons on the unit are easy to find and work well . Set up was darn near automatic , much much better than Echo devices just a year ago. The volume can easily fill a room by itself but at a cost of sound quality if its trying to do things by itself. For a large room a big brother Echo will have a lot more oomph and punch whether music or vocal . This Dot will work but sound cheap and Tinny at higher volumes . The 3rd gen Dot doesn't get as loud as this one but was really a little too much in my daughters bedroom when she set it above 5 (50% volume ) . For that size room the 2nd gen Dot was just right. She has a smaller (15'x 15' ) room by far than my 28'x30' den . This one , just like the other 4th gen devices have the microphones near the volume buttons and work very well unless trying to compete with my sound bar they sit on top of . Then they just ignore my attempts to talk with Alexa. At that point I can just talk to the full size Echo by my sofa (across the room ) . You ask any smart device to discern my voice from a tv voice when the tv is inches away and I'm yards away isn't fair so I won't give it a knock but when the sound bar isn't on the Dot can hear me easily even if I speak just above a whisper and the one closest to my den door can hear commands when I first enter the house so by the time I get to the den my lights are lit and I can have music playing if I so choose . Alexa software has really come a long way in 2020 from clunky and not able to discern me from my dog to being able to understand what my 4 year old granddaughter is trying to get to happen and myself practically having a 2 way conversation with it. Catching it on sale and using the interest free 5 payment plan made this one an easy choice that is very budget friendly. The only Echo device cheaper is the Flex but I'd recommend that one only for using Alexa features and routines. The sound and volume on it are not room filling and rich at all . Fine for voice searches and such but not so much even for audio books. For that the Dot more than suffices . If I had to choose 1 Echo device and only 1 it'd be a Dot for it's value and usability . Since I could choose more than 1 ,my most used is the full size 4th gen Echo but I really like the new Dots shape , sound quality , light bar on the bottom , button user friendliness and color choices . If you want a great value , don't need a clock and oomph in your music /audio books listening isn't a must you can't go wrong with this one unless you don't like a device the size of a baseball sitting on your furniture or shelf . Review: Great product at an affordable price to give as gifts!! - I hesitated and thought very long and hard about having these smart devices in my home for fear of privacy issues. I generally keep up with technology and really wanted an Alexa. HAHA. I received this echo dot from my daughter as a Christmas gift. I have been very pleased with it. The setup was very easy to do and there are so many fun and useful features to be used everyday. I love being able to be hands free and just call out a command. For instance, I can say "Alexa, play classic rock." And I can say, "Alexa, reduce volume by 5%" etc... all while having my hands in clay or in gloves working on a project across the room. Theres no need to go over to a radio and find a channel I want. There are fun options s too. Try asking Alexa to play cat meows or meow like a cat. That's a funny one. You can connect to other Echo dots in other rooms too for a surround sound experience. If you have other Bluetooth speakers that you want to connect to thats an option too and its easy to set up. I wondered if the sound on this echo was going to be good quality before I bought it. I can tell you in my opinion the sound quality is close to a Bose. Echo has a crisp clear quality to it and if you connect other ones from other rooms it gives you an even better surround sound experience. i have only one Echo at the moment but I would say by itself it has a bit of surround sound too. There are alot of accessories to go with this too, which I'll be buying..I can't wait to buy the plugs and bulbs to make my home a smart home. There are holsters for the wall and many other accessories. I am planning on buying one for my bathroom and kitchen to replace my current Bluetooth speakers that are in there simply because of the sound quality and the ability to turn the volume down hands free. ## Features - Meet the Echo Dot - Our most popular smart speaker with Alexa.

Anyone else having issues with max volume being pretty low?** A: I just love my 3rd Gen Echo Dot devices, I got the 4th Gen 2020 today and im feeling weird with the audio quality of this new model, ill keep my 3rd gen where they are and this new will be at my daughter bedroom till my Apple Home pod mini arrive next February. No matter how you change audio controls @ Alexa app , the device design goes against the 3rd gen audio quality, doesnΒ΄t use the surface properly to improve sound and feels powerless. Sad for the first time with Echo Dot line up. **Q: Has anyone tried ggmm d4 battery base?** A: I have GGMM D4 battery base. I use it to take my echo dot to the gym. GGMM D4 portable battery makes echo dot work as a wireless speaker. I love it!! **Q: It would be better if this is a portable speaker. Any accessories recommended to make echo dot portable?** A: Mine echo dot 4th gen works with a GGMM D4 battery base. I love my echo dot wireless and portable! **Q: Does it need to stay plugged in, or is it wireless?** A: It must be plugged in. The networking is wireless, but the power is not. For the echo dot v3, there are lots of battery packs available that you connect to it, and it provides the power while the battery pack still has power. Not sure if they are available for this one yet, but since people created them for the v3, I would expect that over time they will be available for the v4. But it is not something it can do out of the box. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Got It For Setting Up Stereo But Really Like It By Itself As Well. *by S***E on December 25, 2020* I got a Dot with clock to try out the new shaped Echos and really enjoy it.

I don’t like seeing Alexa or hey Google, I’d like to be able to use my own word and in my case are used the word computer. Yes that sounds like I’m a geek but I like seeing computer and then stayed in my commands much better than Alexa or hey Google. That just makes me feel like one of the sheep in the herd. It does seem to interface very well with all the devices I have but of course you will eventually find something that is difficult to pair it up with especially when you try to get different manufacturers to work together. Sometimes it can be as difficult as getting Windows 95 to work online. That was a joke back then. Down side to heaven a customize name is when you use a name that is brought up in normal conversation it can activate for no reason. For instance, I have one in my living room not too far from the TV so when someone mentions the name computer once in a while it will activate but no big deal as it only happens some of the time. just remember the Echo Dot is the smaller one. I have had only one issue which is real easy to correct but I still have not figured out why it occasionally happens. Sometimes I look at it and I see a red lighted ring on the bottom lit up. That indicate someone turned off the listening capability so it is not listening or story what you say. For some people that is done deliberately when you don’t want it listening. In my case there are only two people in my house and no one is turning it off. There is a button on the top when you push it muted and turned the light red so correctly this means just pushing the button on the top to turn it back on. The only annoying thing is that I do not know why it turned off several times on me so far and I have not been able to related to any activity in the house so maybe there is a voice command and it is picking up the command from listening to the TV. It’s sort of like if you remember the old device sold a long time ago called the clipper, which would turn your lights on or off when you clip your hands. I often wonder what would happen if their device was near your TV and on the TV the audience was clapping , will the lights flash on and off in your house.
