The 5th-gen Echo Dot looks mighty similar to earlier models of the Echo speaker lineup, but Amazon claim it has greatly improved audio with a noticeably better bass sound.

There's also an upgraded LED display which can give you more information on things like the weather or what song you're listening to.

It also comes with all the usual Alexa voice controls which you can use to play your favourite music, read out recipes, or answer your questions.

Or, if your needs are simple, it's just a pretty good alarm clock that you can snooze without having to press a button.

The real techies among you will already know that the Echo series is a great way to set up smart home appliances, and this model is no different as you can use it to dim the lights in your house and more.
