I bought the 6th-gen Echo Dot for our kitchen, where we listen to music more than anywhere else in the house. Amazon replaced my first unit after I got one with a defective speaker. The replacement sounds a little clearer, and I like the new buttons. For timers, lights, the thermostat, and Alexa Drop In, I’d still buy the 5th gen. ------------------------------- About this channel ------------------------------- I review electronics, pianos, DIY household items, home theater, running, audio, video, specialty coffee gear and a lot more.
