Top reviews from the United States

Don't get the lightbulb
Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2023The Echo Gen 5 is pretty cool. It can tell the temperature of a room, along with all the expected Alexa Device stuff that it's supposed to do. You can turn on kids mode and let your kids adventure with Alexa around school topics, and homework help. You can ask it how cold it is in your kids room. You can throw it really well. However, if you think that getting the package with the lightbulb is a good idea? Don't. I am fairly new to smart lightbulbs, or smart anything to be honest. So I went for the package. I installed the lightbulb. Little did I know that the lightbulb would be finicky and moody and only do as I asked 1/4th of the time. Apparently that's an Amazon Basic lightbulb for you. Waze lightbulbs are the way to go, according to reviews, and research online outside of Amazon to get an unbiased opinion. So don't get the package with the lightbulb, it's not worth the headache. Go buy a waze lightbulb if you really want one.

Does everything it is advertised to do- very easy to use
Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2024I'm not very "tech savvy" but being able to set it up online before you even receive it made everything so easy! The Alexa app is easy to use and sync up other smart devices, as well. This was my first Alexa purchase and I've since bought 2 more for my house and I use them all of the time. The speaker sound quality is great for such a small device and once you go through the voice recognition process, Alexa can hear your voice and pick it out of a noisy crowded room with no trouble. Highly recommend all of the Alexa devices, however this one is great if you can live without the screen.
