The Amazon Echo Dot is easily the most popular and easiest way to enjoy the Alexa ecosystem.
Starting with the third-generation Echo Dot, Amazon offered an upgraded version with an important advantage: a clock.
The fifth-generation model features the same design but with a vastly improved clock display and other great new features.
Well take a closer look and see if the time is right for the Echo Dot with Clock.
I was also able to view the time clearly in a bright room and from an angle.
Thats a great option if youre using the speaker as a bedside clock.
If you desire, you might also completely turn off the display.
you could also pause a song, end a call, or stop a timer.
Its another handy way for quick control without needing to call for Alexa.
Thats an upgrade from the 1.6-inch speaker in the fourth-generation.
The sound quality is indeed improved, but not substantially.
I played a wide variety of music and podcasts on both the fourth- and fifth-generation speakers.
With that, users were able to connect the small speaker to a larger option like a Sonos.
Thats a disappointing change.
First up, a built-in sensor can monitor the temperature inside your home.
Another big plus is that the speaker now features eero Wi-Fi technology built-in.
Because of strong Wi-Fi coverage where the speaker was located, the capability was automatically disabled.
I tried placing the speaker at a few other spots at my home, but with no luck.
Whether you’re a smart home beginner or expert, this nifty machine makes for a great purchase.
