A small Amazon Advertising Device with decent sound, but difficult to use as a basic Bluetooth speaker.
This is not for basic Bluetooth speaker capability, but rather is deeply entrenched in the excessive Alexa world. Sound is decent for its size, but in the end is simply an advertising vector for Amazon. Will be replacing eventually.

Alexa
Very wonderful. I'm surprised. I asked it to play a certain type of music it didn't stop until I asked it to.

Response from Staples :
Hello T.M.W! Thank you for your review on the Echo Dot 5th Gen. I am sorry to hear about the troubles you are facing when connecting your Echo Dot to Bluetooth. Here are steps on how to do so: Use the Alexa app to pair your phone or Bluetooth speaker with your Echo Device. 1. Put your Bluetooth device in pairing mode. 2. Open the Alexa app. 3. Select Devices. 4. Select your device. 5. Select Device Settings. 6. Select Bluetooth Devices, and then Pair A New Device. Next time you want to connect, enable Bluetooth on your phone or Bluetooth speaker and say, "Pair Bluetooth." Once the initial pairing is complete, certain Bluetooth devices may automatically reconnect to your Echo when in range. I hope this helps! Have a great day!

Very cool
This product has exceeded my expectation. I waited a little bit to ensure I had a chance to really use it. It is actually incredibly handy and easy to use. My favorite part is syncing it with my lights and being able to just turn them off and on with a voice command. The unit is aesthetically pleasing, but at the same it it is relatively easy to hide if you’d like.

Another good Amazon product.
This has been a great addition to our arsenal of Echo products. Sound quality is good enough with music and it does exactly what a smart speaker should do. We have an Amazon thermostat and it’s nice to be able to tell Alexa to turn the air down a degree or 2.

Love the echo!
I absolutely love the 5th generation echo dot. It's small and fits just about anywhere you'd like it to go. It was good volume for a small speaker. I would definitely recommend if you are wanting to get one, get the dot! Plus its perfect for a kids room for them to listen to music.

Really good!
I got this about a month ago, and it is the best for keeping time and weather when I wake up! It is friendly and straightforward to use, and I love it! I would buy another one to put in my living room!

Great product!
This product is extremely useful for myself and my kids. It was a lot easier to use and set up than I thought it would be. We use this everyday for music and listening to the news, setting a timer for the stove etc. Just overall useful.

Great Device!
First, I love how small and compact this Alexa speaker is. Secondly, wow does this pack a punch in regards to music and sound. We use it for commands and music in our bedroom. We now listen to music in the morning getting ready, can ask about weather, set an alarm and the best part yet (louder music while in the shower). This has increased the amount of dance parties we...
