Amazon Echo Dot (5th Gen) review: The cheap Alexa speaker gets smarter than ever
The Amazon Echo is the original smart speaker, but while it's an excellent option, its higher price puts it out of contention for many. Instead, those who really want to outfit their home with Alexa speakers at least partially, often, turn to the Amazon Echo Dot. Amazon has once again refresh the Echo Dot for 2022, and the Amazon Echo Dot (5th Gen) proves to build on last year's model with even better audio quality and some pretty cool smart home features.
The Echo Dot represents a point in time where Amazon's ownership of various hardware companies is really paying off. How so? Well, the Echo Dot can actually serve as an Eero WiFi beacon, helping extend your WiFi network through your home.
I've been using the Amazon Echo Dot (5th Gen) to find out just how much batter it is than the last model.
Pros
- Solid design
- Better audio
- Alexa is great
- Works as Eero extender
- Inexpensive
Cons
- Audio still isn't great
