The "ghetto blaster" sitting in the bottom of the baker's rake had to go. I wanted a twenty first century product without giving up twentieth century sound, and the Amazon 4th generation Echo provides it. The unit is small but still has some weight to it, probable reflecting the fact that it it has three speakers, a pair of tweeters and a woofer. I have only listened to a couple of radio stations so far, but the sound seems to have some depth to it, and can play cleanly at relatively high volumes. Set up is a breeze as long as you know your Amazon and wifi passwords. It has features that make it a "smart speaker" beyond asking Alexa for the weather or stock market quotes, but that will take time to discover. Over all, the product has met my expectations, good sound from a compact device. It matches the description provided by the seller, so I feel comfortable giving it a five star rating.
