Below is my review on the standard 5th Gen echo without the display, but other functions and hardware is the same.

There should be better pricing and deals on the 4th Gen but the reason I purchased this one is due to some additional tech inside the unit and supposedly better sound quality.Paired with compatible light bulbs, thermostats and more, Echo Dot helps you control your smart home using your voice or in-built indoor temperature sensor. When my laptop connected to the Dot, I got speeds of 25Mbps up and 12 down in an area of my house where I would usually get 70 / 26 from my 1. But we’re going to start counting exactly how many times you have to hit “agree” to use devices when we review them since these are agreements most people don’t read and definitely can’t negotiate.

With Echo Dot, you can stay on track with help from Alexa, control compatible smart home devices and start routines with your motion.

Eero says each Dot can add up to 1,000 square feet of coverage and support speeds of up to 100Mbps and up to 10 devices.The jack let you hook up the Dot to a more powerful speaker and was an easy way to turn a better nonconnected speaker into a smart one. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. And this Dot's display is so much better than previous versions that you won't want to go back once you have it — a welcome improvement that'll have you yelling at Alexa less without being as glaring as a conventional smart display.
