Our take on the Echo Dot (5th Gen) Smart Speaker

The Echo Dot (5th Gen) is Amazon's small spherical smart speaker with Alexa built in. It plays music, answers questions, sets timers and controls smart home devices by voice. The 5th Gen adds a temperature sensor and tap-to-snooze on top of the earlier Dot, and its fuller sound beats the puck-shaped 4th Gen for casual listening. It suits bedrooms, kitchens and desks where a compact, always-listening assistant matters more than hi-fi sound.

What reviewers say

Owners treat the 5th Gen Dot as a cheap, reliable Alexa puck for bedrooms and kitchens. Most praise the fuller sound over the 4th Gen and the easy setup; critics say music still sounds small and that it is always tethered to a cable.

What people mention
  • Sound qualityMixedOwners say it is a clear step up from the 4th Gen for podcasts and background music, but still thin for serious listening.
  • SetupPraisedReviewers describe pairing through the Alexa app as quick and mostly painless.
  • Voice recognitionPraisedMost say Alexa hears commands from across a room, even with music playing.
  • BassCriticisedCritics note the low end is limited and the speaker distorts at higher volumes.
  • PowerCriticisedOwners point out it must stay plugged in, so it is less flexible than battery speakers.
  • False wakesMixedSome report it occasionally waking to words that sound like Alexa.

Questions and answers

Is the 5th Gen Dot worth it over the 4th Gen?
Yes if you want better sound, a temperature sensor and tap-to-snooze. If you only need basic Alexa commands, the older Dot does the same job.
Can it play music without a subscription?
Yes. It plays free ad-supported music and radio, and streams from services you already pay for, but some features like multi-room audio need Amazon Music Unlimited.
Does it need to stay plugged in?
Yes. It has no battery and runs from a wall adapter, so place it near an outlet.
Can I use two as stereo speakers?
Yes. Two Dots of the same generation can be paired in the Alexa app for stereo sound, or grouped for multi-room audio.
Does it work with non-Amazon smart devices?
Yes. It supports many Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices from other brands, plus Matter and Thread for newer gear.
What is in the box?
The speaker, a power adapter and a quick start guide. Cables and adapters vary by region.
Where is the Echo Dot (5th Gen) Smart Speaker cheapest?
At Catorabel, for $59.99, as of our latest check.
