Colour Name: Glacier WhiteStyle Name: EchoVerified Purchase

I love technology and was looking for release date long time. Arrived well packed, in nice presentable and protective box.
Is shape is elegant with modern look, well better looking and complete major renovation in shape compare to all previous models.
Sound quality outstanding to its value range. Due to its upward firing large 3” woofer and dual 0.8” tweeters it delivers outstanding detailed sounds. Makes great sound quality , dynamic mids and clear highs on classic opera music and on heavy rap with powerful deep bass.
One of the most important parts it very responsive to voice, even while producing high volume music it can detect and responds to commands.
The other nice feature it can be pair with many other devices, such as other echo or Fire TV and helps create home cinema atmosphere.
For privacy it has mute button on top which stops all voice tracking functions.
It’s extremely easy to set up, if you already Alexa device holder it will auto connect , just plug to electric, no need to set up wifi, all done automatically. If first time user then it will step by step navigates how to activate it. Very clear and straight forward instructions.
It possible to link other account to it such:
- Apple Music,
-Spotify,
-Amazon Music,
-Deezer
-Audiable , broadcasts, radios etc.
It also has build in Zegbee smart home hub and also it’s own temperature sensor. Can be set up reminder , alarm day plan.
Generally fund to use, ask any questions and I get great knowledge answer , sometimes funny answers as well, builded with humour.

It has also 3.5mm audio line in/out. Volume control via voice or manually by pushing top “+” and “-“ buttons. Action command button and mute button. Size around 14.5cm wide and 13.5cm hight. In imperial it’s size 5”x5”x4.7” .
Connection 2.4 and 5ghz dual connection and advance Bluetooth connection.
Cons :
-Power cord could be longer, it came with 1.45m which is around 57” long cable. Could be better if it was longer , it could give us opportunity to better position it.
- Currently only 3 colours available, could be better to have more bright light colourful colours as well for kids room.

Overall well done to Amazon, amazing music quality to its price range and grate shape and response. Definitely worth getting one or upgrading old one to this.
Have a look to my pictures , to compare to echo Plus 2nd generation. Hope this will be help to decide if it’s suitable for personal needs or not.

Colour Name: CharcoalStyle Name: EchoVerified Purchase

She's deaf as a post. Unless I look right at her and RAISE MY VOICE she does not get triggered. Way worse than my Echo 3rd generation. If I play music I have to RAISE MY VOICE to get her to trigger. It is extremely annoying. I feel like I downgraded and wasted my money. EDIT: Now when I ask her "ALEXA do I have any alarms" she can cancel it in mid request and the log says it was not intended for alexa... I play it back and she hears her wake word, she hears me start asking a question and then cancels it before I can finish asking. JUNK. Now it gets a 1 star rating. I am really REALLY annoyed.

I have this for the built in hub so things work flawlessly without extra devices/hubs and expense. I bought this as the package that comes with the Hue bulb. But what have I found out after 2 hours of calls to Amazon support? The reason I am having problems is we have different profiles on the echos (the AMAZON feature so we are not having things popping up and mixing things up, we have our own devices for our own purposes but the smarthome control works everywhere) and it seems what ever I attach via the hub in my echo 4th gen is totally invisible to all other echo devices unless they are in my profile. So I figured Ah! I know the issue I need the Hue skill. NO. That wants to link to a Hue Hub (which I do not have). This is a massive blunder and after searching for ages on google other people have complained about this from the other echo with the hub built in and it's still a problem. FIX IT. I really feel like I wasted my money. I am so furious. I am waiting on another call back from support. If this gets fixed and the DEAF AS A POST problem, I will be more than happy to erase this and put my actual experiences from actual use down, instead of these extremely big problems.

Great stylish device improves on speech recognition, response time and sound quality vs previous gen

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 October 2020

Colour Name: CharcoalStyle Name: EchoVerified Purchase

- Initial set up is a bit of a faff like with every other echo, having to connect to it via your phone, then set up wifi etc. This connectivity step is a bit hit and miss and I had to try it a couple of times before it finally worked.

Main changes vs previous generation Echo
- First thing you notice is the shape. This is approx 13cm diameter sphere rather than a 9cm diameter x 15cm tall cylinder of old. It has definitely grown on me and I think it probably looks much better with other furniture in a living room than the cylinder shape.
- Speech recognition microphones. Even when blaring away at top volume, it will still recognise your voice without you having to raise your voice over the music - very impressive!
- Speech response time. More importantly, it now responds much quicker than before, I'd say around a second quicker. Reading through specs, it would seem it now does the speech parsing locally where possible rather than having to send the sound pattern across the internet for processing.
- The sound quality. When playing music is doesn't necessarily seem any louder than the previous generation Echo, but when playing the two back to back, the quality is better, with greater clarity and less distortion on the new Echo.

Do note, although the sound quality is superb for a £90 device, something like a £160 Sony SRS-XB33 bluetooth speaker does sound better side by side.

Pros
- Looks great
- Very good sound quality for the money, definitely a decent step up from the previous gen Echo
- Response time seems better than before.
- Can hear you without you needing to shout, even with loud music
- Has a Zigbee Hub
- Has a builtin temperature sensor

Cons
- The power cable comes in white with a black Echo
- Wider than old Echos, so just make sure you have space for 13cm sphere
- Would have been nice with an optional time display like the Echo Dot
- Max volume seems fractionally less loud than the previous Echo

Tip:
- By default, you probably get the "English" voice, which has what some people might consider an annoying American accent. You can change the language in the Alexa App to "English (UK)" for the traditional voice for the UK. Or other languages to get a different voice.

Overall, so far I'm seriously impressed with this one, and consider it the best of all the Echo and Echo dot devices so far that I've tried (I've not tried the Studio). Has my full recommendation for anyone looking for a new Echo device and my rating is based upon that.
However, If you already have the previous generation Echo and are looking to potentially replace it (rather than an additional one), the previous generation is sufficient good that I don't think the improvements sufficient to be are worth spending £90 on for an upgrade.
Note the video was taken on my phone, so the microphone really doesn't do justice to the sound quality, but hopefully it was helpful anyway.

Update 26 Mar 2021: Having used this for a few month, pretty much daily, everything seems to be working as well as, if not better than before. Other people are saying it doesn't respond. Other than the odd time when you have to call out a second time, I've not noticed any issues, certainly nothing worse than the previous generation ones. Still very happy with it.
