If you haven't already jumped on the smart-speaker bandwagon, now's the time to treat yourself to the newest generation of the Echo Dot. The Echo Dot (5th Gen) ($50) has the best audio experience compared to all the previous iterations with clearer vocals, deeper bass, and vibrant sound. This Echo also has motion and temperature detection. That means you can create routines where the lights turn on and off automatically if you walk in or out of a room or even turn on the fan if the inside temperature is a little too hot for your liking. It also has a built-in Eero WiFi extender so your home will have better coverage and minimal dead spots. With all this, it still has the ability to be the coolest virtual assistant. Control your smart home, stream music, and more from your favorite apps like Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Ask Alexa to tell a joke, play music, answer questions, play the news, check the weather, set alarms, and more. You can even make your own intercom system with more than one Alexa!
