Tip for you folks, looks like people are not happy with the white cord for the black echo dot 4th gen, if you already own a 3rd gen with black cord it can be used with the 4th gen. Amazon should fix this fast and ship color coordinated power plugs. Thanks for watching:)
*I like the old style Echo Dot because it's small also **Newest.Technology**, gives out decent sound and doesn't take up a lot of shelf space if you want to put it on beam in the workshop or shed.*
The newly brought to the table and added changes in the design is quite good and refreshing to be honest. High time the device got a refreshed look to it. And the new features of it are always welcome. Mediatek, Alexa, Dolby support.. just about everything.
I've always been a fan of the Echo dot tbh. The 4th gen device seems even more sophisticated with a better sound quality plus strong mediatek processor.
I got mine for about 10 bucks this year, so you know it is well worth that price. I would suggest not paying anything more than 20 bucks for this. I am very pleased with this device, but I think the price should be low enough for you to cover your house with them for about 100 bucks. I was blown away by the sound, not having a previous version to compare it to. For such a small speaker, it does produce a surprising amount of sound. When I play a rain and thunder sound on it, it sometimes sounds like it is actually storming outside. The bass is that good. It is not comparable to my Harmon Kardon Invoke Speaker, but it does sound really good. I like the simplicity of the controls, and I really like the fact I can use other devices, like my cell phone, to play music using it. Take care and thanks for the review.
Thanks I am so not tech savvy and I’ve been wondering whether I want a Google home or an Alexa. You’ve helped me make this decision and I am going to get this machine. I also wondered how you can turn the lights on and off with the machine lol stupid I guess but I had no idea that there was a smart plug and light so I’ll have to buy some of those as well. Thanks for making this decision a little bit easier :)
Right now that one it’s on sale on Amazon for $29.99 on prime I pay more for my warranty and another thing with it I believe it was $36 after that I ordered mine it is coming tomorrow.
Just to let you know you don’t need a smart plug you can just buy an Amazon approved smart bulb I have one that’s connected to my echo plus and I ordered this in white yesterday
Very true, I just had it there next to my computer for the review. I've done that before with my phone and bammm it went down hard. Thanks for watching, have a great day:)
@@TipsNNTricks but sadly it went out of stock or got back ordered (hopefully it got back ordered bc they might fix the white cable issue) but I have to get mine shipped from ups from Florida to Cali 😢
so if you have it hooked up to a light the only way to turn the light on is to use Alexa and not the lamp switch ?, I too was hoping for a dark power cord
I’m getting one by SiriusXM for signing back up for my car and I can’t wait to try something new. Been using HomePod since its been released in 2019 and it never disappoints. And I have a google home mini got it for 25 bucks on Black Friday, but sound quality is definitely not there. But smart capabilities is definitely there! A lot better than Amazon show oculus.
The echo dot 4th gen doesn't have zigbee or a hub built in, can we still control smart devices without this hub? Alternatively, what is the benefit of purchasing the more expensive echo version with a hub built-in?
Oh! You need a smart plug to turn on/off lights. I did an Alexa app-blue tooth connection to the "smart bulb" and was yelling at it for half and hour with no result.
So I watched the entire video and still don't have clue what this thing is other than a speaker. I guess this video assumes you already own one or know what it is. To me, it's just a sphere with a name.
So can I have a echo 4th gen dot set up in my living room and one in my bedroom And ask my living room echo dot 'play so and so in bedroom' and it will play it only in the bedroom?
Can you stereo pair the Alexa devices. so if I had a pair in one room, another pair in another room and a single somewhere else, for instance. Will it play 2 stereo pairs and a mono when you say the command "play everywhere"?
Enjoy, if you haven't ordered it yet, check out the deal they have running right now it's 29 bucks:) a solid deal, but you have to order it through an Alexa device.
3rd Gen is better to hide your echo puck 4th Gen is better to show it off,. I have both, and the 4th Gen with clock looks ultr modern in its simplicity design
You do nknow that mute button uses software to do it and easy to hack or amazon themselves can even unmute and show still muted. You not to knowledgeable about real privacy but yet more of you saying its safe.... Cells anything with a mic can turn on reemote. Want true privacy take apart and cut mic off and toss.

How U Buy Echo Dot From!!?
Pro trick : you can watch movies on Flixzone. I've been using it for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.
LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🇺🇸🇺🇸
It never fixed this problem. I just bought it this year and the cord was white. Amazon can be a jerk. Heh.
I'm going to get them plugs for my kid's room. 😭🤣 "Alexa turn off the ps4 "
Ur a the demon 🤦🏾😂
You can damage the ps4 by forcing shutdowns like that. Its like yanking the power cord from the wall outlet.
Damn you woman
🤣🤣🤣🤣 love it
@@PeteRoc908 I don't think that is quite correct ....especially if the plugs are safely mounted

How u like it? I'm thinking to buy 1 now
@@Aesop101 really good mate, sound quality and overall appearance is so much better. I’d go for it.

It would be awesome if it automatically switched to privacy mode when not being used
I honestly like the white cord, ny tech is black but shelf is white ish so it fits rlly well
Thank you for editing out the wakeword!! Drives me nuts when other videos don't bother and my echo is going off while I'm trying to watch their video.
The 4th gen devices look really nice in design plus with mediatek the performance is great

I hope you didn't leave the 4th gen where you had it, I can see someone hitting the power cord and knocking it to the floor

Which is better amazon echo big one or small one ? . Please answer fast
My dad just got echo dot the same one in this video yesterday.
Nice video
SORRY but I am going to wait for the Echo Dot 6th Gen: due to the coronavirus I have not left my house since March 2020.
You could have it shipped? that's how I got mine. Due to the price on amazon it'll be free 2 day shipping:)

After watching this im going to buy 1 today
Cool:) enjoy
I really don’t like the white power cord. Odd choice.
I see an old Argus brick camera, that was my first 35mm about 55 years ago
Can u hook this up to a smart tv?
Is there a video out pairing the new echo 4 Gen to the ring mailbox sensor? Please help
Liked your living room light adapter feature 👌🏽
Its really good thanks for the video
Thanks for watching, have a great weekend:)
Never gunu give you up never gunu let you downnn never gunu turn around and desert you
Love it:)
Is it just me have an issue with the bass on this speaker
same
What is the action button for, and what happens if it is pressed?
Basically same thing as saying “Alexa” you could press it and then say “play (song)” so not really anything’s special
Instead of using the action word to activate it you can use the action button to activate it

What speaker do you use for your 125 inches?
can i set it up for my parents with my phone as they dont have smart phone? mostly want to use for emergency calling for help
That's a great idea actually
Does the echo dot have to be plugged up to work or is that just to charge?
What app do you have to download?
The Alexa app
Can that blue light always stay on?
Oh! You need a smart plug to turn on/off lights. I did an Alexa app-blue tooth connection to the "smart bulb" and was yelling at it for half and hour with no result.
Just got today.....but still not being able to use voice on speaker....and how to put wifi on box?
great review
what phone is comparable to this one. Because I am having getting mines to work. won't connect to Bluetooth or my wi-fi
Hello Chris I hope you had a great day
Thank you so much Jeanetta:) I hope you had a great day as well:)
So I watched the entire video and still don't have clue what this thing is other than a speaker. I guess this video assumes you already own one or know what it is. To me, it's just a sphere with a name.
Does it always need to be connected with power supply?
Yes
That's why I sold mine, didn't not knew lmao
@@AndreeArgandona 😂😂
It's on Amazon for sale right now
Hey can u connect the 4th gen to 5ghz
Ofc
Is this wireless speaker ?
Yes
what makes you think that, because you turn off a switch, it's still not receiving?
because someone said so?????
So can I have a echo 4th gen dot set up in my living room and one in my bedroom
And ask my living room echo dot 'play so and so in bedroom' and it will play it only in the bedroom?
Did you find out??
@@warriorharj79 I did some research and apparently you can.
Imagine a day where people willingly place cameras and microphones in every room of their house so a “private company” can spy on everything they do .
Is it portable
Unfortunately no, it needs a power source.
They make portable ones, if u want one in ur car you can get one, there’s one that u just plug in and it’s compact, u can connect it to a power bank
The white color looks better with white walls which most houses have
yeah the only issue with me is the plug... Why not usb-c?
Can the language be change to Spanish? Try to find one for parents that speak Spanish
Can you stereo pair the Alexa devices. so if I had a pair in one room, another pair in another room and a single somewhere else, for instance. Will it play 2 stereo pairs and a mono when you say the command "play everywhere"?
I don't believe so, I'm not seeing anything referencing you can do that. Developers should make this happen for Gen 5 for sure:)
Yes, you can setup multi room stereo speakers with all echo devices
Yes you can
Does it work only when it’s plugged in? Or can you take it out of the charge
It’s not portable so it requires power from the mains to work
I had already pre ordered it 7 days before
Awesome, enjoy:)
What do you think about Google?
Amazon Is Saling Echo Dots!
Which one is better? Echo 4th Gen or Echo Dot 4th Gen?
I haven't tested the Echo 4th gen yet so unfortunately I can't give an answer to that.
@@TipsNNTricks Echo 4th gen is much better than 4th gen Dot and you get a zigbee hub inside the Echo 4th gen all for only $100

Good review and nice house - too bad it's so messy 😂
I can get everywhere music to play on my echo dots but my wife’s will not show up. We shared accounts under household and it still will not do it
$100 says the mic “shut off button” only eliminates YOUR access to the mic, NOT THEIRS.
Belk has a sale rn 2 for $50
Just got mine today and the sound is terrible, worst than the 3rd generation. Have to return it it
Also the design is ugly. I didn't buy one because I already have a Google Home Mini and a Lenovo Smart clock.
The microphone turn of thing is just a false sense of security. Just saying...
is that a 240 or 220 v handling???
Plug is white bc most walls are white/off white

Great question
I asked dad to buy Alexa black echo dot
Someone can look at voice history? WTH? How are you people okay with these devices?
There is no legitimate reason to trust Amazon.

There is no reason not to...There’s so many people that use these that If they were doing anything sketchy....we would definitely know
You have too much stuff lol.

Alexa can’t learn my voice, can someone help me
Let me get ur number to help u with that
Doesn’t work without the plug …. So stupid
As soon as you said you can go see your voice history I was done. No thanks
yes technology is making us lazy....
Tell the truth the big ugly large ball 4 that fits no where takes up a lot of space or the 3 that slips under your tv stand out of the way ?
I hate Alexa… Find it useless.🤷🏻♀️
Here's a tip
Clean your house before recording
