I Prefer the Round Design to the Old Hockey Puck Echo Dot
I recently decided to upgrade to the Echo Dot 4th Gen, replacing my older "Hockey Puck" style Echo Dot, which I got as a gift. I loved the older model so much that I knew I had to get another Echo device, and this one has fit the bill perfectly. It’s now a centerpiece in my living room.Why I Love It:Daily Communication: The Echo Dot has become indispensable for dropping in and making announcements through the Alexa app. It's incredibly handy for communicating from room to room, making it easier to stay connected within the house.Entertainment Hub: Whether it's listening to music or audiobooks, this device does it all. The sound quality is fantastic and a noticeable step up from the older model. Plus, it provides quick updates on news and weather, which I use daily.Information at My Fingertips: I love asking Alexa for quick bits of information and unit conversions. Saying, “Alexa, what’s gallons to liters?” and getting an instant answer is so convenient.Design and Aesthetics:Modern Look: The new spherical design is a winner. It adds a cool, artistic touch to my decor and blends seamlessly with my living room’s aesthetics. Unlike the older "Hockey Puck" design, this one stands out in a good way.Perfect Fit: I haven’t felt the need to mount it anywhere because it looks great on my desk. Its unique shape is both functional and visually appealing.Overall Satisfaction:I’m extremely happy with the Echo Dot 4th Gen. I was so impressed that I ended up buying another one and even an Echo Show! The seamless integration of these devices has significantly enhanced my smart home experience.A Few Minor Quirks:Power Adapter: One minor quirk is the white power adapter included with both white and black Echo Dots. While it’s not a major issue, a matching power adapter would have been nice.Durability: The fabric covering has been easy to maintain, although I do handle it carefully to avoid stains, which embarrassingly enough I got a couple.Final Thoughts:The Echo Dot 4th Gen is a fantastic upgrade from the previous models. Its blend of superior sound quality, modern design, and versatile functionality makes it a must-have for any smart home enthusiast. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their smart home setup. You won’t be disappointed!

 HIGHLIGHTS of the new Echo Dot
1) The response time is a little faster than on its predecessor. That said, I don't know if it's me, but I feel like Alexa can't hear me as well as on my gen3.
2) Great new spherical shape.
3) I really like the new location of the light which is now located at the bottom of the device. I find it more visible since it illuminates the surface on which the device is placed.
4) The sound is "richer" with a little more bass and a wider angle of sound diffusion.
5) The installation is very easy, 5 minutes and it's done!

WEAKNESSES
1) The CHARCOAL echo comes with a WHITE power cable... we agree that it's not very aesthetic... in any case, I don't like it. If I chose a black color it's because there was a reason, wasn't there?
2) The power supply box is still as big as ever! Come on! it takes two power outlets wide...
3) The buttons are really ugly and look cheap compared to previous generations. They're made out of some kind of plastic and are a little bit raised. I definitely preferred the smooth and flat buttons of the Echo Dot 3.
4) Needs a few updates to improve the French Canadian version.

I mainly use the Echo Dot to listen to my music on my sound bar. It's the functions, stop, pause, up/down the sound, put the sound at 3 to 7, next, who's that artist, add that song to my playlist, etc. that make my music listening experience much more enjoyable. No need to change tabs, or get up, everything is controlled by voice! Really convenient the voice technology combined with a subscription such as Amazon Music, Deezer and/or Spootify to listen to your music.

SOUND | Compared to the Echo Dot 3rd generation, this one (4th gen) has a slightly improved sound. Probably this spherical style allows for a greater angle of sound diffusion. Rather than being propelled only upwards as on the 3rd gen, it diffuses both upwards and forward. In any case, if you don't like the sound of this dot, you can always pair your device with your sound bar/home theater. Personally, that's what I do, so sound quality is not a big concern for me. Having said that, I think it sounds really good for an alarm clock sized device! Also, the sound is much louder and richer than on the Echo Dot 3rd Gen no matter what some people say.

IN SUMMARY | It can be used as an alarm clock, a timer, a calendar reminder, a calculator, help you fall asleep at night, answer your questions, give you quizzes, etc. There are so many things that can be done with this device that it is impossible to list them all here! Also, if you have other types of smart equipment, such as light bulbs, smart plugs, etc. you will surely find your own connection with this Echo Dot.

So this was a pretty good device, did as it needed, was easy to use, the communication was kind of crappy with it no understanding things as efficiently as our google home did, but I have to say it still did its job 90% of the time. This last year, my 7 year old Google Home has been working better than it is. It's been constantly stopping listening, where I have to unplug it and plug it back in, or it'll misheard what we've asked it to do, or it'll just go off doing its own thing, so it's not exactly the greatest after having it since Oct 2021. Thinking I'm going back to Google Homes, I'll try again when their tech steps it up a bit and doesn't die after 2 years. My 8 year old speaker, and my 7 year old speaker for Google, are still functioning perfectly, and pick me up when I'm 3 rooms away, so it speaks for itself.

The Echo Dot is very responsive and has amazing sound quality. It has proven to be a great smart home device that impressed me enough to get another one as well as an Echo. The sound quality and connectivity alone gives the Dot the best value Bluetooth speaker that I've ever used.

The smart bulb is also pretty neat, works as expected.

My echo dots are the absolute best! I am busy and I love the help of making lists, reading my audible books, reminders, turns lights down, tell the weather, and get ready to wind down after the day with the routines I set with my dots. You can’t ask for better! Alexa is the best! You won’t make a mistake buying the echo dots for every room and throughout your home and office!

Okay so I like baked spaghetti lol. This is almost just as good. I miss it when I dont' have it everywhere I go. I remember the days I has to ride my bike 15 blocks down a busy road to chain it up outside the library and get in the card catalog for the dewy decimal system and then go hunt for the book and hope its there. To then go to the index to look it up and have to end up taking a entire day too find one answer. Or the I fogot my grocery list, to just have to tell it to add something and it pops up on my phone in a list to shop. I LOVE the technology, I think if kids had old time values with todays technology they could be WAY more advanced. I hope my review was helpful and you follow me.

I got one of these for Christmas. The functionality is great for my daily life (helps so much with reminders and routines and scheduling when you have a flighty artist brain with poor memory) but the sound quality was really bad. Sounded like it was played from a tin can. Really quiet, tinny, no bass, just gross and appalling. Like worse than from my iPhone's built in speakers. I was like 'oh well, guess it's not supposed to be a music speaker.'

A month later I bought another one for another room because I liked having the first one so much. This one was SO much better sounding than the first. It blew me away. The quality was crazy. It was on par with my studio monitors even, and waay better than my previous bluetooth speakers I was using. I was shocked and realized the first one had been a dud.

Luckily I could still return the original and when I got the replacement.. the new one had the SAME issue as the first! Speaker was awful. Returned it again and finally got one that sounded great. Moral of the story, if it sounds awful you got a dud and keep replacing it until it sounds like a good speaker should. Apparently this is a common problem if I got 2 out of 3 with a bad speaker in it.

I think the 4rd Gen Dot itself is great when functioning properly and I like the design. I wish there was a wireless option, but the chord isn't too obstructive, just hate that I can't move it around. 'Alexa' itself has problems yes but
I consider that a separate issue from the actual speaker, which is what this review is about. It's my first experience with an Alexa product and I'm pleased with it. Sucked having to deal with customer service so much just to get a functioning product but it was worth it in the end.
