Top reviews from other countries
It seems that Alexa's ability to look up info is a far cry from Google's (we often get "I don't know that" and then find it immediately on our phone) and sometimes Alexa misunderstands to a frustrating degree or randomly says something like "I didn't hear that." Overall, a great addition and we have one in 4 rooms+garage of our house... which isn't huge. They're handy.
A month later I bought another one for another room because I liked having the first one so much. This one was SO much better sounding than the first. It blew me away. The quality was crazy. It was on par with my studio monitors even, and waay better than my previous bluetooth speakers I was using. I was shocked and realized the first one had been a dud.
Luckily I could still return the original and when I got the replacement.. the new one had the SAME issue as the first! Speaker was awful. Returned it again and finally got one that sounded great. Moral of the story, if it sounds awful you got a dud and keep replacing it until it sounds like a good speaker should. Apparently this is a common problem if I got 2 out of 3 with a bad speaker in it.
I think the 4rd Gen Dot itself is great when functioning properly and I like the design. I wish there was a wireless option, but the chord isn't too obstructive, just hate that I can't move it around. 'Alexa' itself has problems yes but
I consider that a separate issue from the actual speaker, which is what this review is about. It's my first experience with an Alexa product and I'm pleased with it. Sucked having to deal with customer service so much just to get a functioning product but it was worth it in the end.
