Our take on the Amazon Echo Dot 5th Generation

The Echo Dot 5th Gen is Amazon's small, puck-shaped smart speaker with Alexa built in. It improves on the 4th Gen with fuller sound from a larger driver and a built-in temperature sensor, plus tap controls on top. It is a Wi-Fi speaker that needs a wall outlet, so it stays in one room. Compared with the Echo Pop it costs more but sounds better and adds the temperature sensor; compared with the full-size Echo it gives up bass and room-filling volume. It suits people who want voice control, music and smart-home routines in a bedroom, kitchen or office.
