The All-New Echo Dot (5th Gen, 2022 release)

The All-New Echo Dot (5th Gen, 2022 release) is Amazon's latest edition of the Echo Dot, with bigger, vibrant sound, helpful routines and Alexa. It promises to deliver clearer vocals, deeper bass and vibrant sound in any room. You can even play music, audiobooks, and podcasts from Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify and others or via Bluetooth throughout your home. Alexa is happy to help, allowing you to ask for weather updates, set hands-free timers, get answers to your questions and even hear jokes. You can even control compatible smart home devices with your voice and routines triggered by built-in motion or indoor temperature sensors. Amazon is not in the business of selling your personal information, with multiple layers of privacy controls, including a mic off button. You can even fill your home with music using compatible Echo devices in different rooms, create a home theatre system with Fire TV, or extend wifi coverage with a compatible eero network so you can say goodbye to drop-offs and buffering. Plus, this device is Climate Pledge Friendly with 100% recyclable packaging, 100% post-consumer recycled polyester yarn, and 55% post-consumer recycled plastics.

Tips from Customers

Customers have shared that the All-New Echo Dot (5th Gen, 2022 release) is a great upgrade over the previous v2/3 and that it works well. The audio is much better and crisp and it is reasonably compact. Customers also shared that it is fun to use and great for the price, but that it does not connect with Bluetooth and does not work on any of your favorite apps. Customers also shared that you can use the 3.5 jack to connect The DOT to a entertainment system via a regular Jack, and that it is a great gift for the first time. However, customers also shared that it is not worth it if you have the Echo Dot 4 Gen, and that you will be disappointed if you plan on pairing it with another device or if you want premium sound. Customers also shared that the wall adapter is larger than expected and that the Alexa app is junk.
