Amazon Echo Dot (4th Gen)

Use your voice to play a song, artist, or genre through Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, and others. And with multi-room music, you can fill your whole home with music, radio stations, podcasts, and Audible using other compatible Echo devices in different rooms.

Set timers, ask questions, add items to lists, and create calendar events and reminders. Check the traffic and weather, or play the news. Access tens of thousands of Alexa skills, like Headspace or Sleep Sounds. And do it all with just your voice.

Manage compatible smart home devices using your voice. Switch on the lamp before getting out of bed, dim the lights from the couch to watch a movie, or turn up the thermostat as you head out.

Set up Guard for free in the Alexa app to get mobile alerts if your Echo device detects the sound of a smoke alarm or glass breaking while you’re away. Subscribe to Guard Plus for even more help protecting your home, like an emergency helpline you can call with just your voice and more.

Make Alexa kid-friendly at no extra charge. Turn on parental controls with Amazon Kids (FreeTime), right in the Alexa app. Alexa will automatically give kid-friendly responses, filter explicit songs, block shopping, and let kids call approved contacts. Parents can also set time limits and review activity.

If you want to unlock more kid-friendly content, the optional Amazon Kids+ (FreeTime Unlimited) subscription service gives kids access to thousands of hours of Audible books, interactive games, and educational skills.

The Echo Dot is built with multiple layers of privacy protection, including a microphone off button that electronically disconnects the microphones. You also have control over your voice recordings and can view, hear, or delete them at any time.

Just plug the speaker in, connect it to your wireless network via the Alexa app on your compatible device, and ask Alexa for music, weather, and more.

The Echo Dot is made from 50% post-consumer recycled plastics, 100% post-consumer recycled fabric, and 100% recycled die-cast aluminum, including the cable and adapter. It also enters Low Power Mode when it’s idle (depending on user configuration). 99% of the packaging is made of wood fiber-based materials from responsibly managed forests or recycled forests. Additionally, Alexa can track and manage the energy usage of your Alexa-connected devices with an energy dashboard, coming soon to the Alexa app.

Call almost anyone hands-free. Instantly drop in on other rooms or announce to the whole house that dinner’s ready.
